<p>Fruit processing apparatus includes a first belt conveyor (23) for sections (47) of fruit from which the seed or core has been excised, and a second or cleated belt conveyor (15) for interacting with the fruit on the first conveyor (23) and carrying it over slicing blades (29) which slice the flesh of the fruit into pieces (47a) and further, bearing against the inside of the fruit peel (47b) serve as guides to bring the leading end of the fruit section (47) to and past a curved peeling blade (36) which parts the peel from the flesh, a peel tongue guide (42, 43) leading and discharging the peel clear of the flesh pieces. The fruit may be divided into cheek sections to be processed and a central excised section by a seeder consisting of a double conveyor (50) for holding fruit pieces and conveying each in sequence to and past a pair of adjacent seeder blades (64) with correspondingly outwardly bowed middle parts (67), the blades being counter-reciprocated by a motor (65), the excised central section being carried by a chute (68), the cheek sections by ramps (70).</p> |
