ABSTRACT:
A machine for repitting peach halves which have previously been subjected to a pitting operation, but wherein the peach halves are not completely pitted because of split or fragmented pits remaining attached to the fruit. The machine automatically feeds the peach halves, centers them relative to a pitting knife, and re-pits the halves to remove any pit fragments which have escaped the initial pitting operation. Since the initial pitting is done by first cutting whole peaches in half along their entire planes and the resulting peach halves cannot be repitted in the same machine, the present peach repitting machine provides a recovery system for the primary pitting operation in order to increase the overall yield without hand-pitting.
