Robot Avocado Line

A robot-assisted, automatic system for pitting, halving and peeling avocado and various types of fruit: for maximum reliability and hygiene, flexible use, capacity planning, very gentle processing and high product quality.

The avocados are placed in an inlay tray by an employee. The individual processing steps are then carried out fully automatically by the robot(s):

• The robot removes the avocado with a gripper specially adapted to the fruit and pits the first half by means of a rotating movement on a pitting unit.
• The knives cut the flesh in half and clamp the stone.
• The avocado is then peeled. The robot separates the shell from the pulp by moving over the peeling knife. 

In the system with a robot, the second avocado half is now pitted and also peeled. Then the cycle starts all over again.
