Black Jack Corn Creamer Converted To Automatic Operation FARM HOME Food 26-4-36 I'm impressed with the Black Jack Corn Creamer that I bought several years ago to make creamed corn in volume (Vol. 20, No. 6). To make the hand-operated unit easier to use, I modified it by removing the handle and attaching a compressor-powered air cylinder to the original push rod.
It takes all the work out of using the creamer and also makes it work much faster.
The unit has four curved, serrated steel blades. The first two blades remove about 3/32-in. of the top of the kernel when the ear is pushed through. The two remaining blades scrape and remove all the pulp and cream from the cob. Creamed corn simply falls into a pan you place underneath and the cobs fall into a waste container.
I installed a 2 by 12-in. air cylinder and a 3-way valve that's used to control the cylinder. I made brackets for the unit and bolted it to a cast aluminum platform. The cylinder operates off a small air compressor that runs on 110-volt electricity. It will process about 10 bushels per hour.
I paid $125for the air cylinder and the 3-way valve. My total cost was less than $350. (Don Demorest, 3897 Waldo-Fulton Rd., Waldo, Ohio 43356 ph 740 726-2554)
