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: Machine for the preparation of pieces of an oval or spherical fruit, such as a melon or watermelon, comprising: a first cutting station (10), predisposed to cut a fruit (100) into round portions (101) along parallel planes; a second cutting station (20), with two or more shaped blades (21a,b,c) predisposed to cut the round portions (101) into prismatic fragments; a sorting device (40), predisposed to detect a diameter of the round portions (101) and to assign each round portion (101) to a shaped blade (21a,b,c), selected on the basis of the diameter of the round portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a machine for stoning mangoes. The method includes a stage of blocking the mango fruit frontally of a cutting blade (3), which performs a first cut below the stone and a second cut above the stone; the cuts, performed with the same or with different blades, intersects a whole length in a longitudinal direction of the fruit and are performed by thrust-insertion of a cutting blade in the longitudinal direction of the stone. The machine for implementing the method includes one or more work stations (6, 7, 8, 9), each of which includes at least a blocking group (10) which blocks the fruit in a desired position thereof; at least a station includes a blade (3) with a shaped cutting profile which is provided with straight motion and performs the cuts envisaged by the method; sliding means (11) are provided to cause the straight motion of the blade.
