A commercial pineapple corer built for fresh-cut presentation

Fresh, ready-to-eat pineapple gives customers a convenient alternative to buying and preparing a whole fruit themselves. For produce teams and foodservice operators, the challenge is preparing that fruit cleanly and consistently without creating unnecessary labor or waste.

The S961 Commercial Pineapple Corer is designed to help. Its knife turns 90 degrees as it cores and peels, allowing the machine to prepare pineapple without crushing the fruit. The result is a clean, fully peeled and cored pineapple that is ready to display, sample, package, or serve.

The heavy-duty, freestanding design includes a corrosion-proof stainless steel cutter bed and a factory-installed pivoting safety shield. Wheels and a handle allow the machine to be repositioned when needed, while hose-down cleanup and accessible parts support routine care in a busy commercial environment.

The S961 is especially relevant for grocery stores, produce departments, farmers’ markets, produce stands, and other operations that want to make fresh pineapple more convenient for customers.
