Lychee Pitting Machine
A roller-cup lychee and longan pitting machine: each fruit is held in a cup while a pitting punch pushes the stone out — gentle mechanical pitting for canning, juicing and dried-fruit lines.
Applications
- Lychee and longan processing
- Canned fruit and juice production
- Dried and preserved fruit preparation
- After destemming or peeling stages
Features
- Roller-cup pittingFruit settles into individual roller cups that carry and hold it in the pitting position — no free-rolling, no missed stones.
- Punch-type stone removalA pitting punch pushes the stone out with minimal flesh loss, keeping the pitted fruit presentable for canning.
- Continuous flowInfeed and discharge conveyors run the machine continuously alongside upstream destemming or peeling equipment.
- Stainless constructionStainless steel frame with a centralized control cabinet, built for washdown-ready food processing.

Destemmed or peeled fruit feeds into the roller cups in a single layer.
Align and hold
Each fruit settles into a cup that carries it to the pitting station and holds it in position.
Punch the stone

Separate and discharge
Stones drop to the waste side while pitted fruit continues to canning, juicing or drying.

FAQ
Does it pit longans too?
Yes — lychees and longans share a similar stone structure, so the same machine handles both small tropical fruits.
Where does it sit in the line?
Typically after destemming or peeling; pitted fruit continues to canning, juicing or drying stages.
What fruit sizes can it handle?
