A machine for stemming, coring and slicing pears includes a horizontal plane indexing turret having six fruit cups moving to feed, stemming, coring, slicing and idle stations. The cups are pivotally supported by a discharge cam. The tools are mounted on a vertically reciprocating nonrotatable carriage above the turret, so that one individual operation is performed at each station. The cups have jaws that are opened slightly at the slicing station and closed at the stemming station. |
