PND: new upgrades, unchanged performance

PND Srl is continuing to work side by side with their customers answering to all their requests actively and carefully. In this way the new melon and pineapple peeler and corer mod. PL4D was born, always manually fed and works for the outer peeling of all fruits, even if they are not calibrated or have an irregular shape. They can thus be easily peeled with maximum efficiency.

To increase the production, the new system allows the peeling of two heads while the other two are loaded. Besides, as per the models in the market, the machine is equipped with an ejector that discharges the fruit directly onto the belt, so to make the processing easier and have better hygiene and fruit maintenance.

The machine has a stainless steel structure. All components are easily changeable; all parts in touch with the fruit are made in food-approved material. The machine is provided with an electrical board equipped with two inverters: one to adjust the fruit speed and the other one to adjust blade speed. The peeler PL4D is equipped with two belts, one for peeled fruit and the other one for waste.

PND offers a wide range of products including peeling, coring and cutting machines for apples, pears, kiwi, oranges, pineapples, melons, watermelons, mangos with manual or automatic feeder, prewashing tank and treatment tank. The company also offers complete automatic lines for the canning industries and manual lines for fresh-cut fruit, for small laboratories and processors who want to start business in fruit processing.
