Latest Patents
Viktor Fehlmann holds a patent for an "Apparatus for pitting dates or the like." This invention features an endless apron consisting of plates with sockets for dates, which are transported stepwise by two chains. The apparatus includes a hopper that dispenses randomly distributed dates onto the upper sides of successive plates. It also incorporates an adjustable elastic refuser that intercepts overlapping dates and directs some intercepted dates into empty sockets. Furthermore, a rotary brush is employed to incline partly inserted dates in a direction counter to the movement of the plates. The design promotes complete penetration of dates into their respective sockets and includes a removing station where reciprocable tools expel pits from the dates. The apparatus is equipped with multiple nozzles that spray water to maintain cleanliness and efficiency during the pitting process.
