Ryo said.Īs Astra Inc. Over the past 20 years, Astra have been fully dedicated to automatic peeler innovation.

Under the covid-19 environment travel is not easy, so when the machine is delivered on site, local staff can easily install and test the machine by themselves, with our engineers’ online support.” Another advantage is that the machine is very easy to install. But if they have any questions or need us to check something, we can easily check online.

We rarely receive calls from clients who experience problems with our machines. When asked about maintenance and after sales service, Ryo said, “Though the working principle sounds complicated, the operation is actually very simple, and not much maintenance is needed. This also allows our machine a high durability.” Ryo said. We can say that behind the simple performance, is our continuous investment in R&D and an enormous amount of time spent experimenting. All these factors play a role, and interact with each other. “A peeler is a combination and balance of many elements such as the material of the blade, the shape of the peeler, the way it touches the fruit and the way it moves and speed control, etc. Simple performance supported by complicate technologies “Besides kiwis and citrus, the machine also works well for more than 20 types of fruits and vegetables” But our machine allows a high peeling speed with peeling accuracy.” Ryo said.

Either way requires a manual application and costly labour.

At the moment, factories either peel the zest manually, or first peel the whole skin and then cut yellow layer from the white part.

#Fruit peeler how to#

How to separate the yellow skin from the white one is the biggest challenges during processing.

However, the white inner skin tastes bitter and needs to be peeled out very cleanly. The yellow outer skin contains high levels of aromas, which can serve as flavoring for drinks. “Speaking of beverage and limoncello factories, citrus zest is used often in the beverage sector. “This is especially suitable for fruit processing factories, large scale catering companies and beverage and limoncello factories that require a high yield rate.” Ryo said. All kiwi fruit sizes, can be quickly peeled with minimum waste.”Īs an industrial scale peeler, FAP-1001 works at high speed, with a capacity of 1200 fruits/hour. After testing, now the factory has replaced all processing lines with our FAP-1001. So the factory contacted us, asking if we can provide a better solution. The factory used to use a ‘round-type peeling unit from another brand, but when peeling a 35-45mm small size yellow kiwi, or the over ripened soft ones, almost two-thirds of the fruit flesh was cut off, which resulted in a very high waste. Take kiwi fruit as an example, we recently sold one unit of FAP-1001 to a kiwi processing factory. When turning, the blade moves in a polygonal way, while always tightly pressed to the surface of the fruit. When talking about the uniqueness of FAP-1001, Ryo said, “unlike other types of peeler you see in the market, FAP-1001 uses a ‘blade peeling method’, and shares a similarity with the manual peeling principle. After the fruit is peeled, it will be delivered to the ejector system where the ejector automatically pushes the fruit out onto the conveyor. The blade peeler will then peel the fruit in an adjusted speed. The rotation system will deliver the fruit to the ‘peeling position’. Only one staff member is needed to place the fruit on the fixing heads and operate the machine.

The machine is equipped with three fixing heads and one peeling blade. The sales manager Ryo Takeshita first introduced how the peeler works. The company’s industrial scale peeler FAP-1001 is very popular in fruit processing sectors. How to balance maximum productivity and minimum waste is a much-debated concern in the fruit processing sector.Īstra is an innovative Japanese peeler developer. For businesses that process small sized fruits, when peeling accuracy is guaranteed, productivity becomes a challenge. At the moment, factories with high capacity demand mostly use the ‘round-type peeling unit’, but it has a high wastage problem. Automatic peelers are used often in the fruit processing sector.
