Abstract

Apparatus for the automated removal of cores from vegetables comprises conveyor means (13) including vegetable supports for advancing of vegetables from a loading station (15) to a cutting station (16) and a cutting head assembly (20) comprising at least one hollow tubular cutting element in which the cutting head assembly is movable between a cutting position proximal to a vegetable support in the cutting station (18) and a core-removal position distal to the vegetable support. In use, a core excised from a first vegetable is retained within the cutting element and is pushed therealong and ultimately ejected therefrom by cores from second or subsequent vegetables.
