An apparatus for inspecting fruit, such as cherries, which has passed through a pitting machine is disclosed. The apparatus includes transducers for detecting whether a pit has been successfully removed from each of a plurality of simultaneously pitted cherries, and if not, causes the operation of air cylinders to reject the unpitted cherries. Timing is accomplished with photocells and shift registers. Through the use of integrated circuitry a separate circuit for each piece of fruit simultaneously pitted is provided. The inspector is adaptable for most high-speed pitting machines presently known.
