The Peach Spoon Pitter “Zero Pit Fragments” feeds, aligns along the suture line and pits “freestone” and “clingstone” peaches with a speed of up to 320 fruits per minute.

The machine is protected by two international patents: the new pitting system “Zero Pit Fragments”, patented as process and product, and the continuous orientation system.

International Patents

Patent n. EP2731893 Continuous orientation system of the fruits.

Clingstone and Freestone Peaches

Features / Benefits

Benefits

When the peaches have empty or fragile stones, the pitting systems currently in use break the stones, producing pit fragments stuck to the pulp, hard to remove in the sorting section.

Thanks to the new patented system “Zero Pit Fragments”, the stages of the process have been inverted: immediately after the pre-cutting section, the peaches are pitted while they are still whole and afterwards they are cut in halves, so stones are already separated from the pulp. This allows to remove empty and fragile stones without producing pit fragments.

The new automatic continuous orientation system (patented internationally) guarantees a percentage of well oriented fruits equal to the torque pitting system (average efficiency of 90%) needing no manpower, unlike the non-continuous aligning systems.

Peach Pitter 320 ZPF guarantees:

  • 100% pitting of any kind of peaches (variety, ripeness, size)
  • Reduction of “stick pit” up to zero
  • Reduction of “split pit” up to zero
  • Almost zero pit fragments
  • High percentage of well-oriented fruits equal to the torque pitting system
  • The highest yield compared to any other pitters
  • The best cutting and pitting quality among spoon pitters
  • High reliable spoons, so less breakdown during pack season

 

Features

  • “Zero Pit Fragment” system to remove split pits (patented)
  • Automatic continuous orientation system of the fruits (patented)
  • 360° rotation of the knives, driven by a brushless motor, variable speed and rotation
  • Connectivity to company management systems (ready for Industry 4.0)
  • PLC and Servodriver by MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC
  • Pneumatic installation by FESTO
  • Touchscreen for function monitoring
  • Automatic fruit count
  • On-board diagnostic
  • LAN Connection (optional)
  • Remote technical support (optional)
  • Feeder with supplements to adapt the feeder’s channels to different peach sizes
  • Independent fruit-holder cups
  • Automatic lubrication system with Graco lub pump, with 72 greasing points.
  • Automatic washing jets suitable for pitting heads and aligning system
