Abstract

An avocado cutting and pitting process has steps of: vertically approaching pairs of knives to the fruit-holding flights so that blades of each pair of knives are inserted in opposite sides of the avocado and in diametrical slots of fruit-holding flights recesses; horizontally moving the pairs of knives so that the blades approach each other around the same avocado pit; horizontally moving the pairs of knives so that the blades move away from each other with respect to the pit; lowering plungers for beating the pits; lifting the plungers with respect to the pits; and vertically removing the pairs of knives with respect to the avocados cut and pitted on the fruit-holding flights. A multi-lane machine for the process is also described.
