The prunes are each supported by an annular trough (21A) of the tank (20A), on which trough abuts a sleeve (50A) mounted slidingly counter to an elastic return (52A) along a pitting rod (46A). The sleeves (50A) are juxtaposed one next to the other, while the rods (46A) are operated simultaneously by a jack (43A). The fall of the pits is checked by detection means (90A). These detection means (90A) are connected to a programmable automatic mechanism (95A), which controls the actuation of the means for removing the pitted prunes, and the unpitted prunes, if necessary, as a function of the values sensed by the detection means.

A fruit-pitting device, particularly for prunes, comprising means for actuating a pitting rod (46), so that it goes down in a holding position where a prune is held, characterized in that said holding position is defined by an annular trough (20) for collecting and holding a prune in a substantially vertical position, and by a sleeve (50) mounted slidingly along said rod (46) and carried therewith under the effect of an elastic return in compression within said sleeve (50) when said prune is in said holding position, said sleeve (50) having hallowed-out free end (60) at the trough end and disposed opposite thereto, said trough end of said sleeve contacting said trough when said prune is in said holding position and said elastic return is compressed.
