Device for separating the stalks of fruit, grouped together in clusters, from one another

摘要

Device for separating the stalks of fruit such as cherries, grouped together in clusters, from one another at their joining point, includes at least one hydraulic circuit including a tank ( 1 ) receiving the fruit to be treated a centrifugal pump ( 2 ) connected to the tank for sucking up the liquid and the fruit therefrom and at least one filtration device ( 3 ) receiving the liquid and the fruit discharged by the pump and capable of separating the fruit from the liquid. The tank has a base ( 4 ) which converges downwards as far as a lower outlet orifice ( 5 ) of this tank. The pump includes a housing ( 7 ) and at least one pumping wheel ( 9 ) guided in rotation relative to the housing along an at least substantially vertical axis ( 10 ) of rotation, and the pump has an axial suction inlet ( 11 ) connected below the lower outlet orifice.
