Abstract: A machine for sectioning the core of a fruit, comprising: —gripping means (2,21), provided to assume a gripping configuration, in which they hold a fruit (F) in a cutting position, and a release configuration, in which they release the fruit (F); —a tubular blade (3), concentric to a longitudinal axis (Y), which is provided with a cutting edge (31) and is movable along the longitudinal axis (Y) between an advanced position and a retracted position; —an abutment (4), located in an opposite position to the tubular blade (3) and provided to be positioned in contact with the fruit (F) in a position opposite the tubular blade (3); —a pusher (5), arranged inside the tubular blade (3) and movable with respect to the latter between a first position, in which it is able to push the core (T) out of the tubular blade (3), and a second position, in which it enables the carrying out of the cutting stroke of the tubular blade (3).

Abstract: A machine for removing seeds, including: a rotating rod (11) that is movable between a first position, in which it is found outside of a product (P), and a second position, in which it can be inserted in a product (P); a curved knife (12) associated with the rotating rod (11); an adjusting mechanism (20) structured so as to adjust the second position of the rotating rod (11) with respect to at least one dimension of the product (P) being processed.

Abstract: A machine for cutting fruit or vegetables into segments, including a blade group (10), at least one of which is arranged with a radial orientation relative to a central axis (X); a presser (20) arranged above the blade group (10) and mobile according to an operating stroke along which it pushes a product (P) through the blades (10); a motor, connected to the presser (20) for activating it along an operating stroke thereof. The presser (20) includes a central body (21), connected to the motor; a peripheral body (22), arranged concentrically to the central body (21) and mobile relative to the central body (21) between a first and a second end position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fruit feeding device, or fruit conveyor, for fruits like melons and pine-apples, which is used to supply peeling machines, coring machines, and peeling-coring machines with such fruits; the feeding device allows to work safely since it prevents the operator's hands from coming near the moving members, though the fruits are manually loaded on the fruit conveyor. In particular, it is suitable in those cases where the fruits have to be manually loaded because their automatic orientation is difficult and expensive to perform.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improvement effected in the peeling and coring machines used for peeling and coring melons and pineapples, the improvements being that the machine: is able to indifferently peel one or the other type of fruit, after a simple replacement of a kit of sharp blades; is able to remove the peel (skin) of the fruit, by acting on the inside of the fruit; is able to separate the pips and the central part of melons which contains these pips, and to remove the fibrous inner stem of the pineapple.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device suited to peel pulpy fruits, like citrus fruits, mango, kiwi, papaya, apples, pears, and particularly oranges and other fruits whose skin has not a uniform thickness. The peeling of fruits whose skin has an uneven thickness is made possible by the fact that the inventive device is equipped with a mechanism capable of varying continuously—according to a program—the amount of projection of the peeling tool relative to the feeler device, in the peeling step. The device is applicable to any kind of peeling machine, or to a machine that foresees a peeling step.

Abstract: The invention relates to a machine used for the industrial peeling of citrus fruits and specifically oranges. The only manual operation to be performed corresponds to the loading, since the orange must be oriented. The machine has a high productivity, and does not lead to production reject, since even the peel is recoverable. The machine can be realized in a form that includes a single production line, or in one which includes several simultaneously operating production lines.

Abstract: Automatic pear processing machine, performing the operations of singularizing the pears, picking them up from a container (2), peeling and coring them, and separating the edible parts, wherein the improvement consists, besides other things, in providing elements (14, 25, 26, 27, 20) allowing to immediately reject pears of irregular form, which would necessarily lead to waste material, and moreover, in providing holes (46, 53) of very small diameters, on the blades (44, 45) used for cutting the pears into segments. The holes (46, 43) of very small diameter, or “microholes”, allow to inject a fluid, so as to ensure the detachment of the core from both halves of the pears, and the detachment of these parts from the blades (44, 45).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an industrial machine used to process a lot of pears, and its object is to obtain an end-item which can be readily stored in vases or containers, or utilized to prepare fruit salads, confectionery products, etc. The work cycle of the machine starts with the automatic collection of the pears from a basin, their successive orientation, the removal of the stem and the related woody part, up to the central core, the external peeling, the removal of the flower, the end cutting, the removal of the central core, and finally the cutting into segments, all of which is done automatically.
