The object of the present invention is a machine and the continuous cycle processing process for pears, which includes mechanisms for feeding and distributing, housing and holding, aligning and expelling, enucleating the endocarp and peeling the pears, whether they are of variable shape or length and in which said mechanisms are synchronized and form a single or more aligned and integrated processing stations In each work station, the distribution of the pears in the fruit bowls takes place automatically and vertically; the measurement of the endocarp of the pear starting from the measurement of its calyx end, takes place through the alignment mechanism of the pears, which does not cause unnecessary compressions on the fruit, and the pulp is stressed as little as possible, maintaining its necessary consistency, and making so that the part to be enucleated, where the seeds really are, always finds itself in correspondence with the small knives in charge of carrying out this function and part of the edible fruit is not eliminated. Furthermore, the peeling takes place using a tool which, positioning itself at the measured point, tilts following the profile of the pear closely.
Continuous cycle machine, having a single or more processing stations, aligned and integrated on a carriage of pears loading, with which it is possible to carry out the enucleation and peeling of the pears, and in which each single processing station, served by a system of feeding, is provided by the assembly forming a housing cup, of a mechanism that carries out the alignment starting from the calycine end of the pear to be worked, of a tool for enucleating the endocarp of the pear, with its rotating blades, with an alignment and expulsion pad, fixed to a cylindrical rod, of a rapid peeling tool and an activation sensor of a retraction control solenoid valve of each housing cup, characterized in that:
Pear coring and peeling method for a continuous cycle machine with a single or more aligned and integrated processing stations, characterized by the fact that a vertical gripping and distributing rack, in its downward movement, determined by the length of a slotted rectangular plate (19D), measured along its longitudinal centreline, meets the pear on loading carriage (1) and stops;
