Theres a big distinction to make. *They are the largest sweet corn factory* Not the capital production of corn. By the way the US is the capital producer of corn
Spring only goes so far. They bin their corn into different diameters and then go through different settings. Sometimes they cut off too little so the corn juice went all over, but corn is cheap enough they can still make more money by saving labors.
Probably a simple pneumatic wheel pushed by the size of the ear resetting the blades just before cutting. Why reinvent a 0g pen for space when you can just use a pencil.
@@dadnoonan Exactly… It looked like there were tabs at the base of each one of the blade assembly’s that would open the cutting mechanism against gentle spring pressure is it progressed along the cob of corn.

I was an ammonia refrigeration engineer at a facility in Oregon where we processed and froze about a million pounds of produce each day of the harvest season, much of that being corn. I think it is safe to say we froze half a million pounds of corn per day in our freezers from the beginning until the end of the harvest season.
@@fallinginthed33p We did both. We had seven freeze tunnels varying in size from 5 tons per hour capacity to ten tons per hour, so we ran cob corn in some tunnels and cut corn in the others. During our season we processed peas, beans(many varieties), broccoli, cauliflower, and a few other crops as well. It was an amazing process.
This brought back a lot of memories. I worked summers during college for Del Monte at a pea and corn plant. I was in the fields combining peas and in the plant for corn pack. The best jobs were pushing the corn into the conveyor outside and sharpening the cutter head blades.
@@nottelling7785 - most corn in the world is field corn raised to feed livestock animals, make HFCS, and make ethanol - different varieties than sweet corn. 3/4 of the fresh sweet corn in the US is sold fresh. France exports most of what they grow. Total corn production is not a definitive metric. If there is any validity to their claim, it is probably because the factory only produces canned sweet corn.
I worked on a corn processing plant years ago. We had similar cutters to remove the kernels, but they all had to be fed manually. The corn came in on a belt and employees lined them up to go into the cutter.
I'm in Omaha NE. Nebraska has corn, don't you doubt it. If you want to see an 'Ocean' of green, go to central Iowa and you will appreciate the biggest/greenest corn oceans you will ever see! It's something to behold. America's bread basket.
I surmise that the machine detects the diameter of each cob of corn as it enters the cutting area. There are hundreds if not thousands of corn processing facilities that have to cut the corn off the cob. There isn't a big secret to it at all.
My guess is that it’s spring loaded. You could see that there were guides inside the blade. They probably ride along the cob, to keep the knives where they need to be. But I don’t get why he made it seem like a secret. As you said, there are plenty of people doing it.
In the 1980 we as kids used to drink tap water directly and home food cooked which was also our breakfast for the next day early before school and our diet was strictly vegetarian. Immunity as compared to this generation is much better this generation which has been raised on 2 minute noodles and canned juice, packed ready to eat food is not that great in immunity and resistance to viruses.
Weirdly enough this video already has enough information that an engineer could probably design a mechanism to adjust the cutters. so that they fit the cob.
What is spring loaded? My guess would be your imagination. I would also guess that you never considered that cob dimension and kernel length can vary greatly. Still a trade secret I'm afraid.
slightly changing known patent is easy and safer than using it in secret and hoping nobody found out.. the one who patented their design know that someone will make different copied version of their patent.. it's their decision to make their design secret or make a patent
Have you ever tried corn pudding? I tried the recipe from cooking with Shotgun Red's channel and everyone thinks it's delicious... definitely a must try!
Bonduelle is my favorite canned corn. You can even freeze the leftovers and they still have some bite to them when leaving the freezer. Unlike actual frozen corn that will get stuck in your teeth.
My "htf do they do it???" 1am in bed thought has been answered - thank you! My hypothesis was that they used some sort of high pressure air or water stream to detach each kernel from the cob. Might be too violent of an event though and would result in mushy, deformed kernels.
I know, it's kind of mind boggling. For instance, having watched my fair share of How It's Made videos, those blades probably adjust based on the readings of computerized sensors. I've seen it in a million different production processes.

I never would have thought the capital of sweet corn production would be France. Wondering where the most croissant rolls are made Nebraska?
The US primarily harvests dent corn, used in corn meal, corn starch, corn oil, and high fructose corn syrups. Plus animal feeds.
Theres a big distinction to make. *They are the largest sweet corn factory* Not the capital production of corn.
By the way the US is the capital producer of corn
America exports 2-4 times more corn than France grows.
Same~~🤔
I can tell ya. I wish we had the most croissants produced here. I’m missing good bread.
Other corn companies, 🧐 “Write that down! Write that down!”
“How they work is a secret.” Shhhhh...It’s got springs inside.
Spring only goes so far. They bin their corn into different diameters and then go through different settings. Sometimes they cut off too little so the corn juice went all over, but corn is cheap enough they can still make more money by saving labors.

"Strips sweetcorn" lead me to believe there might be a cornstar in this video.
"Unfortunately we can only show you 20% of the B-roll filmed because pretty much everything inside the factory is a trade secret."
In worked in a canning factory 40 years ago and they used the same machines which were very old then. no secret.
Did you work at a canning factory or a canning plant?

@@georgepierce8535 I'm not a native english speaker, I don,t understand the difference, could you explain ?

FYI. A 'factory' produces things from raw minerals. A 'plant' processes things already produced from factories or earth.

Ever since I was a kid many years ago I wondered how they remove the corn kernels so uniformly now finally I know thank you
I lived in Iowa. Right off the stalk is the best!!!!
That is something that I always wondered. Can't wait to find out!
Says it’s the largest sweet corn processing plant in the world. You may need to check your facts.
There is nowhere outside of France
France isn't even on the list of top corn producers

Amazing! Where do you eliminate the corn ear worm damage, and the worm?
Iris cutter. I used to work on and repair this equipment. You get corn juice all over yourself and stink when you get home!

I’m surprised the biggest factory isn’t in America,
I do believe the largest sweet corn plant in the world is located at Glencoe Minnesota.

So the secret of getting corn off the cob is a secret. I understand now. Thanks
Halfway through I just *had* to pause this and put a corn on the cob in a pan of water to have for my tea!

Thats 3 minutes of my life I wont get back
At what point is the corn cooked?
Are the left-over cobs used for anything?
Animal feed , farm animals such as pigs love that type of stuff. Corn cob is also used for composting to be turned into fertilizer.
@@josephbennett3482 Thanks

OK everything is secret but if it is secret how can we check they are not infringing numerous patents?

It's the same thing, that uses in a timber mill, where they use it, to remove bark off the tree or log, it's NO big secret about it.
Nice
Corn Pop, he was a bad dude!
Why not use a combine in the field?
I would guess that the knives are set to a specific size, and the ears of corn are sorted by size and sent to the proper cutting line
New age plants use infra red laser to adequately adjust the blades for each ear. Old plants used a roller guide system to adjust the blades.
@@larrybargon5018 i am interested in laser guided machines. Can you steer me to a manufacturer or supplier . I deal world wide
