The Atlas Pear Machine is the leader in mechanically peeling pears. The pear machine allows efficient peeling, coring and slicing of pears, with minimal skin removal to retain natural flavors and produce higher yields. All machines meet OSHA and UL508 requirements.
Pears are oriented stem-down into six feed cups.
The feed cups hold and center the pears in place with four mechanical fingers and then transfer the pears to the core tubes where the pears are cored and peeled. Once the cores, seed cells, blossoms, stems and peels are removed, the pears may be sliced in halves. An apron separates the peels and cores from the finished fruit and delivers each to separate conveyors provided by the cannery. Air-operated clamps ensure that a large variety of pears are oriented. The machine may be adjusted to set the depth of the seed cell and blossom trim.
