Peach Pitter 350 APA-Vision

General informations

Thanks to the innovative PLC driven recognition system, the machine is capable of detecting the correct positioning of a fruit and removing from the conveyor belt the fruits not correctly positioned, recycling them in the feeder, with the result of improving the orientation efficiency and decreasing dramatically the presence of pit fragments.

The system is composed as follows:
• A station that detects the fruit position and communicates to the PLC the information.
• A pickup stage that, in function of the information received by the PLC, removes from the conveyor belt the fruits not correctly positioned during the passage through the mechanical orienting systems.
• A system of recycle that transports to the feeder the fruits removed by the pickup system.

The new automatic continuous orientation system (patented internationally) guarantees already a percentage of well oriented fruits equal to the torque pitting system (average efficiency of 90%) and without any labor, unlike the non-continuous aligning systems. With the implementation of the Vision system, the final percent of orientation can surpass 95%. The high percentage of correctly positioned peaches, combined with the pitting system with 360° rotation of knives, driven by a brushless motor with high number of rotations per minute, guarantees a superior quality of the cut, absence of stick pits and a lower amount of pit fragments, ensuring a reduced employ of labor for the operations of inspection and reprocessing of the peaches after pitting.

Functionality

• High capacity.
• Completely automatic. Does not require manpower.
• A better orientation performance compared to any other machine, both knife and torque.
• A more uniform cut thanks to the high speed spinning knives
• Less mechanical wear, thanks to the absence of knives rotation for the repositioning.
• Reduced employ of manpower for the operation subsequent to pitting, thanks to the automatic system of orientation and recognition of the fruit position, which generates less pit breakages and helps decreasing presence of pit fragments inside the pitted fruits.
• A system of automatic lubrication, made with high end materials, guarantees a constant and dosed lubrication of all the moving parts, which results in a reduction of the necessary labor.
