DESTONERS

Destoners for removing cores or seeds from stone and pome fruits.

Destoners are designed to efficiently and precisely remove cores, seeds, and stems from various fruits, as well as for separating stones and other debris from root vegetables as preliminary washing. These machines streamline the preparation process, ensuring that the final products meet modern standards and prepares them for further processing or packaging. This comprehensive guide explores the functionality and applications of destoners in the food industry.

What are destoners?

Destoners are specialized machines that automate the removal of unwanted cores, seeds, stems and stones from fruits and vegetables. Destoners and destemmers automate these tasks, reducing labor costs, minimizing waste, and improving the overall workflow consistency.

How destoners operate

Destoners for fruits precisely remove the core, pit, or seeds from stone fruits like peaches, cherries, plums, apricots, and even mangoes. These machines use mechanical methods to extract the core while minimizing damage to the fruit's flesh. The process involves aligning the fruit in a specific orientation, after which a plunger or blade removes the core or pit, leaving the fruit intact for further processing.

Additionally, auger destoners for vegetables are used to separate stones, debris, and other unwanted materials from root vegetables as pre-washing. These machines employ a screw-like auger mechanism that helps to wash and sort the produce, ensuring only clean and debris-free vegetables proceed to the next processing stage.

Benefits of using destoners

  • Efficiency: Automating the core and seed removal process significantly speeds up production and reduces manual labor.
  • Consistency: Destoners provide uniform results, ensuring that each fruit or vegetable is processed to the same standard.
  • Waste Reduction: Precision in removing cores and stones minimizes product loss and waste, thereby increasing yield and profitability.
  • Safety and Hygiene: Automated destoning reduces the need for manual handling, lowering the risk of contamination and maintaining high food safety standards.

Applications in the Food Industry

Destoners are used across different segments of the food industry:

  • Fruit Processing: Commonly used for pitting stone fruits such as peaches, cherries, plums, and apricots, making them ready for canning, freezing, or further processing.
  • Vegetable Processing: Auger destoners are essential for cleaning root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and beets, to remove stones and debris.
  • Snack Production: Pitted fruits are often used in snacks and confectioneries, where quality and consistency are crucial.
