Die Erfindung betrifft ein elastisches Transportband (100) zum Transport von Gütern auf dem Transportband (100) in eine Transportrichtung (TR) in einem Transportsystem (200). Das Transportband (100) weist eine Führungsfläche (110) auf, wobei in die Führungsfläche (110) mindestens zwei entlang der Transportrichtung (TR) verlaufende Führungsnuten (111) zur Führung des Transportbandes (100) entlang der Transportrichtung (TR) eingebracht sind, wobei die Führungsnuten (111) quer zur Transportrichtung (TR) mit einem Nutmittenabstand (NA) voneinander angeordnet sind. Das Transportsystem (200) umfasst mindestens zwei Führungselemente (211), die dazu eingerichtet sind, zur Führung des Transportbandes (100) entlang der Transportrichtung (TR) in die Führungsnuten (111) einzugreifen, wobei die Führungselemente (211) quer zur Transportrichtung (TR) mit einem Elementmittenabstand (EA) voneinander angeordnet sind. Der Nutmittenabstand (NA) ist in einem unbelasteten Ruhezustand des Transportbandes (100) um einen Zusatzmittenabstand (ZA) größer gewählt als der Elementmittenabstand (EA). Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Transportsystem mit dem Transportband und ein Herstellungsverfahren für das Transportband.

The present invention relates to a machine for automatically preparing a whole pineapple (P) for consumption at a pineapple point of sale, the machine comprising a number of processing stations (110, 150) for removing a top end of the pineapple (P), a bottom end of the pineapple (P), a peel of the pineapple (P) and/or a core of the pineapple (P); a cutting station (160) for cutting the pineapple (P) into a plurality of pineapple pieces; a loading device (200) for loading the pieces into at least one recipient (191) having at least two compartments (192) separated by at least one partition wall (193); at least one horizontal shutter (190), the horizontal shutter (190) being movable between a closed position holding the pineapple pieces above the recipient (191) and an open position letting the pineapple pieces fall into the recipient (191); and at least one deflector element (210) for deflecting the falling pineapple pieces from an upper edge of the at least one partition wall (193) of the at least one recipient (191). The invention further relates to a method for automatically preparing a whole pineapple (P) for consumption at a pineapple point of sale using the machine.

The present invention relates to a machine (100) for automatically preparing a whole pineapple (P) for consumption at a pineapple point of sale, the machine (100) comprising a first processing station (110) having a top knife (111) for removing a top end of the pineapple (P) and a bottom knife (112) for removing a bottom end of the pineapple (P), wherein the top knife (111) and the bottom knife (112) have parallel cutting directions and parallel cutting planes, and the top knife (111) is arranged at a distance measured perpendicularly to the cutting planes from the bottom knife (112); a length measuring device (120) for measuring a length of the pineapple (P) along the longitudinal axis of the pineapple (P); and an adjustment device (130) for automatically adjusting the distance between the top knife (111) and the bottom knife (112) depending on the length of the pineapple (P) measured by the length measuring device (120). The length measuring device (120) comprises an optical sensor (122) for measuring the length of the pineapple (P) and/or a mass sensor (121) for measuring a mass of the pineapple (P). The invention relates also to a method for automatically preparing a whole pineapple (P) for consumption at a pineapple point of sale using the machine (100).

The present invention relates to a machine (100) for automatically preparing a whole pineapple (P) for consumption at a pineapple point of sale, the machine (100) comprising a coring/peeling station (150) for removing a core and/or a peel of the pineapple (P), wherein the coring/peeling station (150) comprises at least one circular blade (151) for separating the core and/or the peel from the pulp of the pineapple (P), an axial pusher (152) for pushing the pineapple (P) along its longitudinal axis through the at least one circular blade (151) while the circular blade (151) is stationary with respect to the surrounding of the machine (100), and a mobile support element (154) for supporting the pineapple (P) before and after being pushed through the at least one circular blade (151).
