摘要： A pear feeder for multi-lane processing has, on a frame (1), a shuffle feeder (2), a plurality of chutes (3), a plurality of feed channels (4), small belts (5) running on respective pairs of belt holder pulleys (9, 90) mounted on each feed channel (4) and moved by a motor (10) through a first transverse shaft (11) so as to be transmitted to the belts (5) a retrograde motion with respect to the pear advancement and allow each pear to continue advancing along its own advancement channel (4) with the stem downward up to the exit end, and a plurality of aligned jaws of reception (15) which can be opened simultaneously. On the frame (1) of the apparatus, in a position below the plurality of aligned receiving jaws (15), a cutting device (18) is mounted movably by means of a second pneumatic piston (19) on horizontal end guides (20).

摘要： A method for processing pears advancing on housing and centering cups (9) of a multilane belt (7) with its calycine end facing upwards, in order to be cored, pitted and halved the method provides, in a first step, locking each pear against rotation inside its housing and centering cup (9), to measure the distance of the calycine end, and to communicate said distance to a control unit (14) that determines the height position of the endocarp of that pear, and, in a second step, to lower simultaneously, by the control unit (14), a coring rod (24) and a pitting knife (26) from a rest position to the height of the endocarp of the underlying pear, as determined by the control unit (14). A multilane apparatus for processing pears is also disclosed.

摘要： A method for pitting and re-pitting fruit halves, in particular peach halves, has steps of lifting fruit halves from a loading area to a feeding zone, feeding the fruit halves to an advancing lane, moving the fruit halves forward, detecting the supporting condition of each fruit half and a presence of pit or pit fragments, if any, assessing the supporting condition as correct or incorrect, communicating the presence of pit or pit fragments, if any, in the fruit half, pit removing, if any, delivering the fruit halves to their further treatment or bringing them back to the step of lifting the fruit halves, in case their supporting condition is assessed as incorrect. There is disclosed a multi-lane machine having a detecting station (9), a control unit (10), communication means for sending information to a cutting station (8) and to a separating station (13) for delivering the fruit halves to their further treatment or to the loading area of the machine.

摘要： A clamping tool for clamping a fruit, in particular a peach, in a given position in a processing station of a pitting machine has a tubular shape, extends around a given axis and is provided with a first opening configured to allow the clamping tool to be arranged over and around the fruit; a second opening arranged on the opposite side relative to the first opening to allow for the insertion of cutting tools inside the clamping tool in a direction parallel to said axis; two through channels, which are parallel to said axis and extend from the first to the second opening; and two walls facing each other, separated by the channels and converging towards the axis between the first and the second opening.

摘要： An avocado cutting method discloses feeding, orientation and traveling along multi-lanes of avocados (A), a pre-cutting stage to create an incision in the upper and lower portions of each avocado (A) while the avocado (A) is held with its axis stem-blossom vertically oriented, and a cutting stage for cutting each avocado (A) in the sides thereof in order to divide the avocado (A) into two halves with simultaneous hit on its pit. A multi-lane machine is also disclosed having a cutting section (54) with a plurality of pairs of separate cutting blades (55). The cutting section (54) has a plurality of plungers (56) in the form of rods, each plunger (56) being movable between the separate cutting blades (55) with respect to an upper head (43) to strike the pit (N) and move it inside the avocado (A) in order to detach it from the pulp (P).

摘要： A process for recognizing the orientation of a fruit (F), having a central axis of symmetry passing through the concave parts of the fruit (F), comprises an initial measurement step in which the measuring instrument measures its distance from the sample fruit (Fo), an individual measurement step of each fruit (F) to be treated travelling on the fruit multiple lanes tape (7), a comparison step in which the distance measured in the individual measurement step of each fruit (F) to be treated is compared with the distances measured in the initial measurement step of the sample fruit (Fo), in order to assess whether the distance measured in the individual measurement step is that one of a concave part of the fruit (F) or that one of a convex part of the fruit (F), and a check step that determines that the fruit (F) is correctly oriented or not. An apparatus that embodies this method is also described.

摘要： A fruit pitting and cutting method provides a fruit feeding along more fruit lanes, a pre-cutting stage to create an incision in the upper portion and the lower portion of each fruit (P), a pitting stage, in which the pit is separated from the flesh but remains inside the fruit, and a subsequent cutting stage in which a vertical cut is made in side parts of each fruit (P) to be divided into two halves. A multi-lane machine is also described that has a longitudinal frame (1), a fruit flight conveyor (3), movable upper and lower transverse heads (8, 9), a station (7) including a pre-cutting section (10), a pitting section (11), and a cutting section (12) separated in succession.
