outer cover and thin inner membrane without damaging the seeds. It has a
capacity of deseeding 50-55 kg of pomegranate fruits per hour. The
machine has also been exported to Turkey and the USA. A motorized blade
is incorporated in the machine, which halves the pomegranate fruits, one
at a time. The halved pomegranates are then fed into the hopper from

seeds from the peel and other fibrous parts take place. He seeds are
collected via collecting tray while the other unwanted parts are ejected
from another outlet.
