Problems solved by technology

At a certain rotational speed, a substantial proportion of the fruit comes into contact with the pump casing or the wall of the impeller, causing damage
However, if the pump speed is too low, the efficiency of stem splitting is unsatisfactory and a high proportion of unsplit stems remains at the pump outlet

Embodiment Construction

[0030] The device according to the invention firstly comprises a hydraulic circuit comprising a main container 1 containing a quantity of a neutral liquid such as water or a food-grade aqueous solution; connected to the container 1 to absorb the liquid and the fruit contained in the liquid a centrifugal pump 2; and a downstream filtering device 3 receiving the liquid and fruit discharged by the centrifugal pump 2, which is suitable for separating the fruit from the liquid. Fruit can be continuously supplied into the container 1 by means of a conveyor belt 21 which is driven in a continuous motion and dumps the fruit into the upper part of the container 1 .

[0031] The container 1 consists of a trough with walls made of metal or hard synthetic material supported by a rigid frame resting on the ground in the manner of feet 8 . The container 1 has a base 4 which converges downwards and opens into a lower outlet opening 5 which is oriented along an at least substantially vertical...

Abstract

Device for separating the stalks of fruit such as cherries, grouped together in clusters, from one another at their joining point, includes at least one hydraulic circuit including a tank ( 1 ) receiving the fruit to be treated; a centrifugal pump ( 2 ) connected to the tank for sucking up the liquid and the fruit therefrom; and at least one filtration device ( 3 ) receiving the liquid and the fruit discharged by the pump and capable of separating the fruit from the liquid. The tank has a base ( 4 ) which converges downwards as far as a lower outlet orifice ( 5 ) of this tank. The pump includes a housing ( 7 ) and at least one pumping wheel ( 9 ) guided in rotation relative to the housing along an at least substantially vertical axis ( 10 ) of rotation, and the pump has an axial suction inlet ( 11 ) connected below the lower outlet orifice.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for separating the stems of clusters of fruit, such as cherries, from each other at their connection points. The device enables the automatic separation of fruits in order to separate them for subsequent sorting and / or packing operations. Background technique [0002] FR2820287 already discloses such a device comprising a container with a base inclined to a lower transverse outlet hole connected to a centrifugal hydraulic pump, wherein the axis of the pump is horizontal as the axis of the hole. The pump's discharge pipe returns the water and fruit to the element used to collect and distribute the cherries after separation. This document teaches that under certain conditions a free passage greater than 45mm is used with the pump and that at low speeds the stems of the fruit are separated due to a certain hydraulic pressure from the fruit located in the very center of the pump. [0003] However, the regulation of such ...
