Compact Scallion Shredder for Fine Longitudinal Cutting
The Scallion Shredder is a compact countertop machine developed for fine longitudinal shredding of Japanese long green onions. Instead of relying on repeated knife work, an operator aligns the prepared scallion, places it into the Ø30 mm feed opening, and advances it with the supplied push rod. A motor-driven blade assembly produces narrow strands that leave through the bottom discharge, ready for collection in a tray or food container.
Its approximate theoretical output of 36 kg/h and approximate 3.0 mm shred width suit controlled batch preparation in restaurant kitchens, central kitchens, garnish stations, small food workshops, and ingredient-preparation rooms. The machine measures 200 × 370 × 375 mm and weighs approximately 5.5 kg, so it can fit on a stable worktop without requiring a dedicated floor installation.
AGICO positions this model for buyers who need a focused scallion-cutting function rather than a large multipurpose vegetable line. Raw-material diameter, desired strand appearance, batch size, local AC 100V power availability, and the 30-minute rated operating time should all be reviewed before purchase.
Features That Support Practical Batch Preparation
Ø30 mm Feed Opening
The defined opening guides suitable scallions toward the blade assembly. Selecting straight, appropriately sized stalks helps prevent awkward feeding and supports a more consistent longitudinal cut.
Push-Rod Feeding
Manual feeding gives the operator control over alignment and feed rhythm. The push rod keeps hands away from the cutting zone and must be used instead of fingers or improvised tools.
Bottom Discharge
Cut scallion strands fall directly below the machine. A correctly sized receiving tray can reduce scattering and make it easier to transfer the finished ingredient to the next preparation step.
Removable Assemblies
The motor and blade assemblies are removable for cleaning access. Safe isolation, careful blade handling, complete drying, and correct reassembly remain essential parts of the operating routine.

The 36 kg/h figure is a theoretical hourly output, not a guarantee for every batch. Practical production depends on scallion diameter, straightness, moisture, trimming, operator rhythm, interruption time, and the visual tolerance for finished strands. The 30-minute rated operating time must also be included in shift planning rather than treating the machine as an uninterrupted industrial line.
Before installation, verify that AC 100V matches the destination. Do not assume that a different local voltage can be used without an approved transformer or suitable configuration. Leave enough worktop space for stable placement, safe feeding, the bottom collection tray, and removal of assemblies for cleaning.
Where the Scallion Shredder Fits
Garnish and Ingredient Preparation
Restaurants, noodle kitchens, soup kitchens, and prepared-food counters may use fine scallion strands as garnish or as a mixed ingredient. The countertop format keeps the cutting step close to the preparation bench. In this scenario, staff can wash and trim scallions in advance, align manageable bundles, and shred only the amount needed for the service period.
The receiving tray should sit directly below the outlet and be exchanged before it becomes overfilled. This protects strand appearance and prevents cut product from backing up near the discharge area.
Controlled Small-Batch Production
Central kitchens and small food workshops can divide daily demand into batches that respect the rated operating time. Prepared scallions can be staged by weight, processed in a controlled sequence, and transferred to mixing, portioning, chilling, or packing.
At AGICO, we recommend comparing the desired batch weight and available preparation window with realistic feeding and cleaning time. Buyers whose demand requires continuous multi-hour operation should discuss a different equipment class instead of extrapolating the theoretical output.
Operating and Cleaning Workflow
1. Prepare
Wash scallions, remove damaged material, trim as required, and drain excess surface water. Select stalks that can enter the Ø30 mm opening without force.
2. Align and Feed
Place the machine on a stable counter, position a tray below, start the motor, align the scallion lengthwise, and advance it only with the push rod.
3. Collect
Monitor the falling strands and change the tray as necessary. Stop if feeding resistance, unusual noise, vibration, or an irregular cut indicates a blockage or setup problem.
4. Isolate and Clean
Disconnect power before disassembly. Remove accessible motor and blade assemblies as designed, handle blades carefully, wash suitable food-contact parts, dry completely, inspect, and reassemble.
Never reach into the feed opening or cutting area while the machine is connected to power. A changeover between batches is also a useful time to clear retained fibers, check the blade area, wipe the worktop, and confirm that the discharge path remains open. Cleaning instructions for electrical and removable parts should follow the supplied operating documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of vegetable is this machine intended to process?
Its primary application is fine longitudinal shredding of Japanese long green onions. Other products should not be assumed suitable solely because they fit the opening; structure, fibers, moisture, and the required cut must be evaluated.
Does the machine produce an exact 3.0 mm strand?
The supplied shred width is approximately 3.0 mm. Raw-material diameter, firmness, alignment, blade condition, and feeding technique can influence the finished appearance.
Can it run continuously throughout a production shift?
The rated operating time is 30 minutes. Plan batches and rest periods around that rating, and stop earlier if abnormal heat, sound, resistance, or vibration appears.
How should operators feed scallions safely?
Use the designated push rod and keep hands away from the feed opening. Do not force oversized or bent material into the inlet, and isolate power before clearing a blockage.
What should a buyer provide before ordering?
Share scallion diameter and length, desired strand appearance, batch weight, daily production window, destination voltage, available worktop size, collection method, and cleaning expectations. AGICO can use these details to confirm whether the compact model fits the intended workflow.
