Pineapple processing — faster, with less waste, and consistent results.
01. High-speed peeling and coring for pineapples Peeling, coring, and discharge are fully automated in one continuous process, making this machine ideal for factories that process large volumes of pineapples every day. Capable of processing approximately 450 pineapples per hour. 02. High yield performance While conventional tubular cutters typically achieve a yield of around 40%, the FAP-3000 delivers a yield of approximately 53% after coring. By preserving over 10% more edible fruit per pineapple, the machine contributes significantly to cost reduction. 03. Slim and precise coring The core is securely held from both ends, ensuring accurate alignment and precise coring. With a slim 30 mm core diameter, the machine removes only what is necessary, maximizing edible yield. Coring can be enabled or disabled via settings, depending on processing needs. 04. Simple and easy maintenance Parts handling and maintenance are designed to be straightforward. Daily cleaning and regular maintenance can be performed easily, reducing operator burden and downtime. 05. Handles mixed pineapple sizes The peeling thickness is automatically adjusted according to the pineapple size, allowing mixed sizes to be processed without sorting. This flexibility improves efficiency and simplifies on-site operations.

Company information
ASTRA Inc. is a leading manufacturer of fruit and vegetable peeling machines that is strongly committed to "speed and beauty." The company primarily develops its business around high-speed electric peelers and has received recognition, including the "KITCHEN INNOVATIONS AWARD" in 2018, the "25th Tohoku New Business Award" in January 2019, and the "14th Nippon New Business Creation Award Entrepreneur Category Excellence Award" in December 2019. ASTRA's "Blade Peeler" technology makes its peeling machine one and only. The principle is similar to manual peeling. When the peeled fruit is rotating, the blade moves in a polygonal way, while always tightly pressed to the surface of the fruit. This makes the peeled fruit surface beautiful. ■Benefits of the “Blade Peeler” 1)Faster peeling Simply, the peeling speed will be faster. Since the blade is sharp, even if the rotation speed is very fast, the peeling quality will not change. 2)Smooth surface While most of the normal peeling machines make bumpy, rough surfaces, ASTRA machines can make a smooth surface. 3)High yield rate A smooth surface leads to less waste and a high yield rate because it peels minimum edible parts. 4)Less juice dripping Since the surface is smooth, fruit juice will be kept inside the fruit, which expands the shelf life. 5)Peeling depth adjustable You can peel only the yellow surface of the lemon, which is loved by the lemon liquor distilleries. With the same machine, you can peel the thick skin of grapefruit. ■Main Products - KA-700H A compact model capable of peeling a variety of fruits and vegetables such as apples, pears, persimmons, kiwis, oranges, grapefruits, lemons, yuzu, peaches, pears, tomatoes, turnips, and onions, all with one machine. - KA-750PM A product that can handle larger materials such as pineapples, melons, and mangoes.
