Red pepper calyx cutting devices using a impacting force by a rotational cutter were devised and tested to obtain the fundamental data for development of a calyx removal unit. Fresh red peppers with 80~87% of initial moisture contents were used as experimental materials. Square and wire type of rotational cutters were used to cut the red pepper calyx and the fresh red peppers were fed into the device both manually and automatically . Three rotational speeds of 250, 500, 750rpm were selected for a square , and 1000, 1500, 1800rpm for a wire type cutter respectively. Four types of red peeper fixing unit were used in manual feeding.
