Automatic pear processing machine, performing the operations of singularising the pears, picking them up from a container ( 2 ), peeling and coring them, and separating the edible parts, wherein the improvement consists, besides other things, in providing means 14, 15, 16, 17, 20 ) allowing to immediately reject pears of irregular for, which would necessarily lead to waste material, and moreover, in providing holes ( 46, 53 ) of very small diameters, on the blades ( 44, 45 ) used for cutting the pears into segments. The holes ( 46, 53 ) of very small diameter, or “microholes”, allow to inject a fluid, so as to ensure the detachment of the core from both halves of the pears, and the detachment of these parts from the blades ( 44, 45 ). |
