The client from Israel applied for a live demonstration for fresh avocado peeling on SIMEC innovative SXP-1000 avocado peeling machine.

Assisted by laser positioning system, the fruit can be positioned on the holder accurately and swiftly at the inlet. After the avocado fruit is conveyed into the peeling machine, a top holder lowers to fix the fruit’s top and then rotates the fruit. Meanwhile, the peeling knife raises to peel the avocado fruit from bottom to top, self-adapting to different fruit sizes and shapes.
The pericarp at both ends of the avocados can be removed swiftly by well designed ingenious cutting mechanism. This optional function can be switched on or off from the HMI touch screen.
Backed by the accurate and full-fledged PLC controlling system, one avocado fruit can be completely peeled within 3~4 seconds. Then the peeled avocado fruits will be discharged automatically through the outlet.
