8. Disposal system

Subpages

Introduction

Disposal routes peels and cores into separate conveyance paths. After core ejection, cores fall into core chutes (hexagonal-tube concept beneath each peeler station) while peel material flows around the core chutes into the peel chute. Two augers convey peels vs. cores separately to support different downstream handling (e.g., secondary wash/juice extraction for cores).

Colour key & components

Peel chute, core chutes, augers — detail pages TBD. Some CAD views use alternative colours (second row).

Colour(s)Component
Peel chute — folded sheet metal; peels from sides of peelers
Core chutes — welded to peel chute; cores after core ejection
Two augers — take peels and cores away separately

Discussion

Function (cycle)

  1. Core from core ejection falls into the core chutes directly below each peeler station.
  2. Peels leave the peeler station and flow around the core chutes via chute geometry (hexagonal tubes with triangular leading/trailing faces), preventing peels from entering the core chute stream.
  3. Two augers convey peels and cores away separately.
