Features and benefits of
FMC FoodTech’s peach
processing system 
Semplicity of design, high
quality and greater yield.
The FMC FoodTech’s CT800
Automatic Cling Peach Pitter is
designed to singulate, orientate and
remove the pit from clingstone 
peaches. 
With the CT800 you will not only
get high yields, you will get a high
quality end product with improved
pit cavity definition, less bruising
and fewer slivers. 
With the SELECTIVE KNIFE if the
peach has a split pit, it is sensed
prior to twisting and the peach is
selectively knife pitted during the
normal pitting cycle. 
Increased proflts
The filler closer system, designed by
FMC FoodTech’s engineers, is a 
comple tely integrated filler-closer
group providing single source
responsibility

The FMC FoodTech’s pre-vacuumizing
filler can help you increase the 
profitability of your processing 
operation in many areas when it is 
compared with gravity filler/exhaust box
or gravity syruper/steam flow closer 
combinations. The efficient removal of
free and trapped air from the product and
container permits faster and deeper liquid
penetration of the product. 
Pre-vacuumized products also have a 
better color retention, longer shelf life
and are more uniformly processed because
the same headspace is main tened in all
the cans. 
Better processing:
increased heat 
penetration/reduced
cooking time
By using the induced convection method,
the Rotary Cooker/Cooler System 
increases the rate of heat penetration. 
This ensures the even cooking of every
can thus reducing cooking time. 
Rapid heat penetration and reduced
cooking time preserve the natural 
flavour, nutritional value and 
appearance of the product.

Receiving - Dumping
Upon receipt at the cannery the bins are unloaded by fork trucks and stacked in holding areas. Bin Dumpers empty
the bins into a water-filled tank which cushions the fall of the product. An appropriate Elevator will remove the
product from the water while fresh water sprays wash the product before discharge. 
Inspection
A proper designed Sorting Belt will allow the inspection of the product before being processed. 
Unwholesome and immature fruits are removed at this point.
Sizing and distribution
Peaches are conveyed to a mechanical Sizer which eliminates the fruits too small and then separates the balance of
the product into a number of different diameters accordingly to the pitting operation set-up. The different grades
are discharged onto a Distributing Belt (merry-go-round) and conveyed to the Pitters. 
Pitting
The whole peaches are delivered from the Merry-go-round to the Pitter through a feeder then transferred to the 
aligning section. Orientation begins immediately and continuesuntil the peach is transferred to the pitting station.
At this stage the pit is oriented on the same vertical and horizontal center lines of the twist mechanism. The pit is
held between two blades while a pneumatic activated diaphragm envelops each half of the fruit which rotates less
than one-half turn in opposite directions (counter-twisted). Once the pitting cycle is completed the two cleanly 
pitted halves and the pit are discharged to a fluming system below the machines. 
Repitting
The flume discharges the product into a Vibrating Pit Separator which allows the loose pits to fall through a 
perforated screen. A Cup-Up turnover orients all halves on an Inspection Belt with the pit cavity up so that fruits
containing pit fragments can be removed and conveyed to FMC FoodTech’s Repitters for final pit removal. 
Peeling
The fruit peel is removed by an FMC FoodTech’s LYE PEELER. The half fruits are oriented with the pit cavity
down by a Cup Down Turnover, transferred into a chemical application section, held by steam, washed and rinsed.
During this section the skin is disintegrated and washed out without harming the flesh. 
Size grading of halves
The peeled peach halves are pumped to an FMC FoodTech’s Shaker Sizer. Perforated screens set in descending steps,
separate the halves into four diameter sizes plus oversize. The four grades are conveyed to the sorting area while the
oversized fruit is delivered to the Slicing Line.

The product is never still in the can, eliminating burning and caramelization. The FMC FoodTech’s line uses an operating
principle which agitates the can, permitting short time, high temperature cooking, and rapid, efficient cooking in an 
automatic, continuous operation. In short: improved product quality.

Sorting and filling
Inspection of the fruit prior to filling is effected with the halves in cup-up and cup-down positions in a properly
designed Sorting Belt. Inspectors sort the halves for uniform color and defects. Product suitable for canning is 
automatically transferred into cans by an FMC FoodTech’s Halves Filler fed through a vibrating bed. 
Syruping and closing
The filled cans are fed into an FMC FoodTech’s Pre-Vacuumizing Syruper. The Syruper is set for a specific can size
and grade of syrup. The cans and contents are completely vacuumized and then filled with syrup to a 
predetermined headspace. The Syruper is synchronized with a Closing machine. The Closer directs a jet steam
across the top of the can to remove air from the headspace before sealing the lid onto the can. This operation 
provides a final vacuum in the can when the steam condenses. The closed cans now proceed to the pasteurization
and cooling equipment. 
Pasteurization and cooling
FMC FoodTech’s Continuous Rotary Cookers are extensively used for applications that require a degree of 
automation and high thermal efficiency. The seamed cans enter the pasteurizer through a feed device which delivers
the cans to the revolving reel of the Cooker. The reel, working in conjunction with the stationary spiral, carries the
cans through the cooking steam. The continuous spiralling motion through the cylinder assures even cooking for
every can. At the end of the cooking process the cans are fed, via transfer mechanism, into the cooler unit where a
similar process slowly cools them under pressure. 
Slice canning
Oversized fruit from halves Size Grader or fruits which fail to make grade halves are normally destined for slicing.
These halves are fed into a Cup-Down turnover, followed by a single Filling Belt and Slicer. A set of rotary knives
cut the peach half into the desired number of segments. The Slices are next inspected for blemishes and other
defects. Upon completion of inspection, the slices are conveyed to an FMC FoodTech’s Volumetric Filler for filling
to prescribed weight. Vacuum syruping, closing, sterilizing and cooling operations are performed as described for
peach halves. 
Syrup preparation plant
Syrup is prepared in Jacketed Kettles and then transferred to the holding tank located in the upper part of the
platform. The hot syrup is then conveyed by gravity to the Syrupers by means of sanitary piping connections. 
Packaging and wakehousing
Following the sterilization process, the finished canned product may be handled in various ways. The cans may be
conveyed directly to packaging lines where they are labelled, packed in fiber cartons, sealed by compression and
stacked on shipping pallets. The cases can either be shipped immediately or stored in the warehouse. Alternatively,
the cans may be conveyed to a palletizing machine where they are stacked in layers, unlabelled, on a warehouse 
pallet. This method, referred to as «bright stacking», allows the canner to delay labelling operation. 
The palletizing machine can be used as depalletizing unit during the labelling operation in off-season; the bright
stacked pallet is mechanically depalletized and the cans are labelled and packaged as described above.
