"Corn Stripper" sounds like the main attraction at an Iowa nightclub.
@D J Kentucky or West Virginia...
Lmao that made me laugh way more than it should have 😂
🤣🤣😳
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.
🤣🤣🤣
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.
@@dadnoonan because of graphite dust. That's why zero-g pen.
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.
Thanks you for the interview. How do I leave the building? "Uuh... its aaaa Trade Secrete"
The blades are just spring loaded and open and close with the contour of the cob.
I used to rebuild and sharpen the cutting heads..nothing technical or secret there. Just trying to make something really boring sound interesting.
I think the dude just didn't know at all
"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."
Tl;DR: It's a secret
FYI. A 'factory' produces things from raw minerals. A 'plant' processes things already produced from factories or earth.
It's simple, that bladed sphincter has a roller that follows the shape of every cob and as it rolls around, the roller prevents the knives from digging in too deep trade secret.......ha ha
Sphincter
Uh huh huh.....hey Beavis.....he said sphincter.....uh huh huh huh
Asphinctersayswhat
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?
@@larrybargon5018 Nearly everyone (including the newspapers and government officials referred to the many small town canning businesses in the area where I grew up as "The canning factory". All normal people know what is meant. Only a tedious pseudo-intellectual coxcomb would get hung up on the distinction. You just couldn't stop yourself could ya?
@@georgepierce8535 I'm not a native english speaker, I don,t understand the difference, could you explain ?
@@arakwar I don’t think there is a difference
The "Jolly Green Giant" right inside the front door.... Is this where all the jobs in Le Seur, Minnesota migrated to??
Blue earth too
Nope those went to México
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.
Just a “miniature” ring debarker from the logging industry
I was going to post the same thing but you beat me to it.
With a shrill screeching blonde
And a nuclear bomb is "just" a hunk of uranium shot into another. While the general idea is *extremely* valuable, the devil is in the details.
@@osseo9947 yep
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.
Corn still on the cob and with the husks on?
@@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.
I was Literally dying for someone to take a bite of all that corn!!
Does "CornPop" work here?
Gold
Baddest dude at the plant.
All you have to do is get a 6 foot chain out and he'll run away... XD
Yep and he's a baaaaaad dude!
Haha.... Corn Pop's son Hunter comes here to collect Papa's ten percent
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
The call it whole kernel corn for a reason no matter how many times you chew it still comes out whole
ain't that the truth
Unless you chew it with limestone like the Aztec
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've seen a similar machine used to strip bark off of logs.
That is something that I always wondered. Can't wait to find out!
I lived in Iowa. Right off the stalk is the best!!!!
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.
Im on several canning FB pages and we were all wondering about just this very subject this fall!
Iris cutter. I used to work on and repair this equipment. You get corn juice all over yourself and stink when you get home!
> So, you process corns.
> It's a secret.
Corn going to slaughter. Not for the squeamish.
Holy crap im laughing way to hard
Thank you for answering my curiosity. 🙌
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
@@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.
@@ArtStoneUS It's annoying to find sweet corn numbers specifically. All inquiries seem to return total corn.
@@ArtStoneUS Exactly what they said to start with.
It's amazing how many people are out of touch with where their food comes from and how it's possessed. Thanks for the video.
So the secret of getting corn off the cob is a secret. I understand now. Thanks
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.
Realy sugestive photo. Like that smile she's loving it
Ok, Kate is hot! Favorite line while holding a cob, “ does this adjust in size “.
Ok Then, Picture this. What Kate might have in mind to use the cobs for...hhhhmmm?
Call the corn cops, I'm about to steal some company secrets...
great content!!
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.
@@lucasbulach3909he didn’t have an explanation lol so just said that
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!
Interesting channel. Didn't know food factory could be interesting before.
Thats 3 minutes of my life I wont get back
That French dude sounds like the real inspector clauseau lol. 🍗🍟👈🤣😂🤣
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.
Too much secret... I'd strip my own corn by myself. LOL!
Imagine if the first people to make fire and other important discoveries kept their inventions a secret.
They did, for as long as they could.
Corn kid is happy
Well Ive seen Apple, Sinnamon and Peaches, cant say Ive seen a SweetCorn stripped....?
That was great.
Amazing! Where do you eliminate the corn ear worm damage, and the worm?
There's alot of suggestive corn cob handling going on there
The secret is that it’s spring loaded , so it adjusts to the girth of thr cobb👍
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.
At what point is the corn cooked?
My life is better now that I know this, really is.
Pro tip.... I mix one can of whole Golden kernal corn with one can of cream corn...
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!
@@mtpocketswoodenickle2637 yes !👍
And it all looks the same on the way out.
Fried cream corn
@@chevychase3103 Totally. Wonderful.
I can still hear the corn screaming as they get their kernals striped away. This my friends is why I only eat meat.
There was nothing instead of
"It's a secret"
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 did not learn anything, it’s all a secret! 😂
I thought I might have to take the CZcams restriction off to view this
I love strippers
There's probably just a laser that detects the radius of corn cob. You can make the assumption that the corn is perfectly cylindrical. Then the software just adjusts the annulus. Theres probably some loss from the tapering of the corn cob, but you can see when it gets cut the cob core looks like it's cut perfectly cylindrical.
If the laser is clever enough it can even take the taper into consideration, and the annulus can be adjusted accordingly. The feed velocity would need to be consistent though.
My fav corn green giant
Inside a Factory that Perfectly Strips Sweetcorn - Its a secret - OK nothing to see here!
The secret is that there are hundreds of workers sitting inside the machine and use their mouths to......
Yummy 😋
None of the process in this clip is a secret.
Exactly. They didn't show you the secret parts.
"I don't know, the machine does it"==== "It is a secret"
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.
Ben-wa knows his corn
expected a bunch of people with drills and no bangs
Nice
Nebraska!
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.
Warning sign at corn processing plant: "Dont run backwards"
OK, there has to be a joke in there somewhere. Let's hear it.
I always cut off my corn from the cob, so much more enjoyable
Use a Angel cake pan, works for me!
OK everything is secret but if it is secret how can we check they are not infringing numerous patents?
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
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.
When people ask her what she does for a living does she say “I’m a stripper”?
Wow it’s an excellent video 👌
I’m interested to know more about this corn factory, anyone know the name of this factory or brand name of this corn
Maybe the name of the brand is Cirio and the corn is truly sweet
Good
1:54 She's way over excited by her old friend
underrated comment
How on Earth did this show up in my suggestions???
I believe the term is centrifugal force
Anyone else think sweetcorn tastes like school custard?
I love sweet corn
Me too
I see the UK media is into 'corny' puns.
.........”Well, a shuckin’ of the corn and a blowin’ of the horn I’m goin’ to the shuckin’ of the corn! To which I might add, up in here! PWG
TLDR: it was a secret 2:56
Corn Pop, he was a bad dude!
There approximately 2352941.1764705 cobs in 200 tons of corn.
Largest in the world? How quaint.
BUT BUT BUT...HOW do they DELIVER it to CUSTOMERS?
C. O. B.!
Every engineer knows that’s not a secret. That machine was built by someone else too
An adjustable bladed spinning Iris
I wouldn't give away corn that wilted and soured
Why not use a combine in the field?
I love how much harder all these videos will be now that Brexit is happening.
Why did UK leave the EU , again? Leaving all the sweet corns?
Partly immigration, partly cuz the Government manipulated the population and are idiots
It's a trade secret, even though all of our machinery is bog-standard...
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.
