The peeling section consists of a feed device, caustic applicator, steam valve and peel remover/ washer. The coring section consists of a fruit aligner, corerstemmer, seed celling and an optional slicer. Peeling Apples are conveyed or flumed to the machine’s feed station where they are shuffle-fed, eight across, and carried into a caustic applicator. The fruit remains in the caustic solution for a predetermined time which is variable. The holding period, density, and temperature of the solution are set according to required peeling conditions. Emerging from the solution, the fruit is then transferred to an elevator on which it is carried into the high pressure steam valve. Applications The C8A Peeling, Coring and Slicing Unit is suitable for apples, either for solid pack apple or clear juice.
