Solon a variant, these blades corresponding to the number of spirals of scales that anaras can be mounted on a circular support, the pineapple being fixed on an axis, and the peeling being done in a single operation, by means of a crank, the displacement of the blades being guided by tigessouples and spirals. Enchanting the fruit.

According to a variant, blades corresponding to the number of spirals of pegs go pineapple may be mounted on a circular support, the pineapple being fixed on an axis, and the peeling itself in one operation, by means of an engine electric, moving the blades elart guided by flexible rods and spirals enchanting the fruit.
