In the vast world of food processing machinery, few innovations have made as significant impact as the new CTI 320 APA peach pitter. This marvel of engineering not only showcases technological advancements but also stands as a testament to human ingenuity in improving processes that once required great manual effort and precision. But before diving into the technical details, let’s take a brief journey through the history and curiosities of pitters.
A journey through the history of pitters
Pitting fruits has been an essential task since humans began cultivating and processing fruits on a large scale. Initially, this labor was done by hand, making it a long and tedious process, especially when dealing with large volumes. It was in the 19th century that the first pitting machines appeared, rudimentary and manually operated, focusing on fruits like cherries and olives.
Over time, industrialization and the growing demand for efficiently processed products drove the evolution of these machines. The first automatic pitters began to appear in the mid-20th century, offering significantly higher production capacity and reducing the need for labor. However, these early versions had their limitations, especially in terms of precision and care of the fruit during the process.
CTI 320 APA: The new frontier in automatic pitting
Today, we find ourselves at a pinnacle of this evolution with the CTI 320 APA pitter, a machine that redefines standards of efficiency and precision in fruit pitting. Designed specifically for “freestone” and “clingstone” peaches, this pitter can process up to 320 fruits per minute, making it one of the fastest and most effective machines on the market.
One of the standout features of the CTI 320 APA is its continuous automatic orientation system, an internationally patented technology that ensures precise fruit alignment before pitting. This system, which requires no manual intervention, guarantees that 90% of the peaches are perfectly aligned, which is crucial for a clean pitting process without damaging the fruit.
The efficiency of the CTI 320 APA doesn’t stop at alignment. Its high-speed rotating blade system ensures uniform and high-quality cuts, minimizing the possibility of bone fragments remaining in the fruit. Additionally, the machine’s design includes independent fruit-holding cups and an extended feeder, features that further enhance the precision and speed of the process.
Unmatched advantages
The advantages of the CTI 320 APA pitter are numerous and varied. Among them are:
- High production capacity: It processes large volumes of fruit quickly, making it ideal for industries that handle large quantities.
- Better pitting: The precision of the blades and the orientation system ensure superior pitting compared to other machines.
- Uniform cut: The rotating blades offer a clean and consistent cut, improving the final presentation of the fruit.
- Reduced mechanical wear: By eliminating blade rotation during the repositioning phase, it reduces wear on mechanical parts, extending the machine’s lifespan.
- Automatic lubrication system: Made with high-quality materials, the machine has a lubrication system that ensures proper maintenance of moving parts, minimizing the need for manual interventions.
Essential technical features
The CTI 320 APA comes equipped with several advanced technical features that position it as a leader in its category:
- 360° Blade rotation: Allows for efficient and precise pitting from any angle.
- Continuous automatic orientation system: Maintains a high alignment rate without manual intervention.
- Independent fruit-holding cups: Ensure each fruit stays in place during the process.
- Extended Feeder: Improves fruit entry and increases process efficiency.
