Abstract: A pitter for removing whole or half pits from clingstone drupe halves in which relative movement between a drupe half and a member on the pitter toward each other, from a spaced position, is effected, until said member engages the planar surface of the drupe half around the exposed pit, and thereafter, continued movement in the same direction automatically actuates a mechanism that causes pit engaging elements on said member to engage the side of the pit adhered to the pit cavity, and to apply yieldable outward pressure on the pit to tension the fibers holding the pit in said pit cavity. At the same time such pressure is applied said elements are revolved relative to the pit to break the tensioned fibers and to rotate the pit relative to the peach half when adhesion is weakened, and said member and elements are thereafter automatically actuated to withdraw and to release the detached pit from the half, and to restore the member to its spaced position preparatory to another pitting operation. The invention also includes the provision of a plurality of pitters operatively connected with a single source of power for simultaneously pitting a row of drupe halves employing the above structure and for simultaneously positioning and removing successive rows of drupe halves to and from said pitting position.

Abstract: A pitter for removing pits from clingstone peaches and the like, in which conveyor and orienting means is provided for delivering a plurality of drupe halves having pits or pit halves therein to pit removing devices that operate in synchronism with the delivery of said halves thereto for removing said pits from said halves, and which orienting and conveyor means automatically adjusts the positions of the drupe halves for pitting and the conveyor means holds them for resisting rotation while applying a rotary force to the pits relative to said halves to remove said pits.
