Problems solved by technology

However, the passage of fruit through the centrifugal pump can cause varying degrees of damage to the fruit processed by the device, because when the fruit enters the body of the centrifugal pump, there is a risk of the fruit colliding with the moving parts and walls of the pump, especially when the pump is required to This is also required when working at high rotational speeds to ensure that the stalks are properly and fully separated, when the flow rate of the fruit is high, when the fruit in question is sensitive due to its type or ripeness, or when separation is more difficult due to difficult stalk separation Increase the speed of the pump to get the proper percentage of efficiency in the separation

Embodiment Construction

[0054] In the different drawings, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same elements.

[0055] figure 1 A perspective view of a device for separating the stalks of fruit gathered in bunches is shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention. according to figure 1 , the device includes a fruit receiving chamber (1). In an embodiment, when the fruits arrive from the collection point, they may be transferred directly into the fruit receiving chamber (1). In other embodiments, the fruit can be transferred to a conveyor belt (not represented in any of the figures) that transports the fruit to the fruit receiving chamber (1). When the fruits come directly from the point of collection, they are gathered in bunches, linked by their stalks.

[0056] When the device that is the object of the present invention is put into operation, it is essential that the fruit receiving chamber ( 1 ) contains a liquid, preferably water, together with the fruit.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for separating stalks of fruits grouped in bunches. The device comprises a compartment for receiving fruit (1), an area for suction of fruit (10) and an area for suction of liquid (11) which comprises a first orifice (3) and a narrowing (7) which flows into a channel (12), with a water flow (14) between the narrowing (7) and the channel (12), with the channel (12) forming part of a pipe (8) which carries the impelled liquid inside the channel (12). The method comprises the steps for supplying a mixture of fruits in bunches and liquid, moving the mixture to a fruit suction area (10) through a suction entrance (6), aspirating and injecting liquid at high speed through the channel (12) generating a depression which drags the mixture towards a narrowing (7), generating turbulence which separates the stalks from the fruit and extracts the separated fruit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for separating the stalks of bunched fruits such as cherries. The invention also relates to a method for separating the stalks of fruit gathered in bunches. The invention is applied in the food industry. Background technique [0002] There is a need to separate fruits collected from production trees which are connected to each other by stalks or stems, in other words the fruits are gathered in bunches so that once separation is performed each fruit retains its respective individual stalk. Given that once the fruits are separated, they can be properly sorted eg according to size, colour, ripeness or quality, this facilitates the subsequent processing of the fruit, thus increasing the commercial performance and price that can be obtained for this product. Furthermore, automatic separation significantly reduces labor costs involved in manual separation. [0003] Documents FR2820287 and ES2319713 describe device...
