Pear Coring CTI-EPC

To make pear coring more effective, precise and fast, CTI FoodTech developed the CTI-EPC.

The name stands for “Electronic Pear Coring”, which highlights the great quantum leap the machine stands out for compared to competition. The CTI-EPC is in fact capable of detecting electronically the fruits height differences, to adjust the degree of processing in such a way each channel and station is independent and to process each fruit in a different way. This allows to minimize waste and maximize yield, for a more effective processing. A major benefit is the choice of designing the CTI-EPC to core only previously peeled pears, unlike slower and more costly alternatives, which lose a conspicuous yield percent because of the mechanical peeling process. With low costs and high yield, at the speed of 300 fruits per minute, the CTI-EPC can definitely contribute to make the final product more competitive on the market. The machine can also optionally cut the fruit in two, which makes it a complete cutting solution for industrial pear processing.

The CTI-EPC was extensively tested in two campaigns in Spain, and was officially introduced on the American market at the Food Processing Expo in California (USA).

Description

The CTI-EPC pear corer can orient, core, pit and split in half pear-shaped pears at a speed of 280 fruits per minute.

An electronic system installed on the machine can optimize the amount of processing each fruit should be assigned, by detecting individually its height (through sensors) and dimensions (through self-adjusting flaps).

The CTI-EPC is protected by an international patent and represents the ideal industrial solution for processing pears intended for canning.
