Melon Peeling Machine

When selecting a pumpkin melon peeling machine, consider the size and shape of the fruit you need to process. For long, cylindrical fruits melon such as pumpkins or melons which height is within 70cm, a double-head or single-head standard fruit peeling machine is ideal. However, for shorter, flat, or spherical fruits such as pineapple, mango, round pumpkin, which height is within 35cm, a short melon fruit peeling machine is more suitable. This ensures optimal peeling efficiency and effectiveness for various types of produce. 

1. Check the power supply before working and start the “main power switch”
2. When the “power indicator light” is on, start the “down” button.
3. Facing the machine, the gear lever is backward, and the knife works upward; the gear lever is forward, and the knife works downward; the gear lever is in the middle, which is neutral, and the knife stops working.
4. Press the “up” pedal to reset the cylinder upward.
5. Insert the melon body into the lower positioning pin.
6. Press the “cylinder down” switch to make the cylinder go down and insert the upper positioning pin into the center of the top of the melon body.
7. Push the gear lever backward so that the left knife is close to the melon body.
8. Start the “down” button. At this time, the left knife naturally moves downward, the melon body rotates, and the melon skin is cut off by the knife. When the peeling is completed, the left knife will press the “lower limiter” and the machine will stop automatically.
9. Pull the gear lever to the center position (neutral), press the “up” pedal to reset the cylinder upward, and the cylinder will naturally reset upward.
10. Take out the melon body by hand.
11. Insert the second melon body into the lower positioning pin, press the “down” pedal, the cylinder is downward, the upper positioning pin is inserted into the center of the top of the melon body (it is best to remove the hard melon stem at the top first), and pull the gear lever forward. The right knife is close to the melon body.
12. Start the “up” button, the right knife naturally moves upward, the melon body rotates, and the melon skin is cut off by the knife. When the peeling is completed, the machine stops automatically.
13. And so on, repeat the above 4-12 steps.

Positioning Pin Issue: If the upper positioning pin cannot be inserted into the melon, first check the air pressure in the machine’s pressure reducing valve. Ensure the valve pressure is adequate; if not, adjust it by turning the valve to the left to increase the pressure. 

Water in Pressure Reducing Valve: If water accumulates at the bottom of the pressure reducing valve, manually push up the needle at the bottom to remove the water. 

Lubrication: Lubricate the bearings at the top of the machine and the threaded rod in the middle once every quarter to ensure smooth operation. 

Air Compressor Maintenance: Drain the air compressor every 12 hours of operation to maintain optimal performance. 

These maintenance steps will help ensure the continued efficiency and longevity of your fruit peeling machine. 

Blade Positioning Check: If the left blade is in the upward position and not functioning properly, ensure that the power cord is plugged in correctly; it may need to be reversed. 

Blade Functionality Check: If, while facing the machine, the “blade up” button is pressed and the right blade is downward, this indicates improper functioning. Verify that the power cord is plugged in correctly and adjust if necessary. 

Automatic Stop Checks: When the machine stops automatically, confirm that the left blade is pressed against the lower limiter, which is normal. Similarly, if the right blade is pressed against the upper limiter, the machine’s automatic stop function is operating correctly. If the blades are not reaching their respective limiters, inspect the motor and bearings for potential blockages or malfunctions.
