This is the last ABL innovation, able to peel up pineapples or melons at a speed of 12 fruits per minute. AP15 is manually fed, and works for outer peeling: all fruits, even if not sized, can thus be easily peeled. The working process offered by this machine is even simpler: once peeled and without ends, fruits are conveyed onto a belt still whole. Pineapples can be also cored, based on the customer’s needs, while melons are kept whole (inner seeds included).
Blades used to remove fruit ends are of the self-centring type to suit each fruit dimension, resulting in improved machine efficiency. To work together with one of ABL cutting systems, fruits can be at first longitudinally cut in halves. No special adjustment is needed when shifting from melons to pineapples; only the peeling thickness shall be changed using a special adjustment knob. Very high efficiency levels, almost always above 50%, and easy use, make AP15 a very efficient machine and a reference point in this field.
