ABSTRACT:
A method of separating diced water-bearing fruit of desired size from undersize slivers, loose seeds and pieces of skin in a diced fruit mix. The diced fruit mix is fed into an upwardly moving gaseous stream which removes loose and loosely adhering residual peel from the dice and carries the residual peel, loose seeds and undersize slivers above the select dice. The select dice is recovered from the gaseous stream separately from the residual peel, seeds and slivers. The method is particularly well suited for producing select tomato dice of desired size from tomato dice containing residual tomato peel and loose tomato seeds. The tomato dice is obtained by dicing whole tomatoes which have been peeled in a mechanical peeler. The method also can be used to separate diced water-bearing vegetable pieces of desired size from a vegetable mix containing undersize slivers of the vegetable.
