PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for cracking a fruit of persimmon, used for an apparatus for peeling the epicarp of the fruit of the persimmon, and for reducing time and effort required for the operation for peeling the epicarp of the fruit of the persimmon: and to provide the apparatus for removing the epicarp of the fruit of the persimmon.SOLUTION: The device 2 for cracking the fruit of the persimmon includes a supporting part 11 for supporting the fruit F of the persimmon, and a burner 12 for cracking at least the cuticule by radiating flame to the fruit F of the persimmon supported by the supporting part 11. The apparatus 6 for removing the epicarp of the fruit of the persimmon includes a disk 49 having a through-hole part 60 enabling the fruit F of the persimmon to pass through, and obtained by installing a tongue-shaped part 61 in the inside direction of the radial direction in the inner periphery of the through-hole part 60, and a rotationally driving means 64 for rotating the disk 49 around a nearly vertical central axis.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】カキ果実の剥皮作業に要する手間と時間を簡略化したカキ果実用剥皮装置に用いるためのカキ果実用クラック発生処理装置及びカキ果実用外果皮除去装置の提供を目的とする。【解決手段】カキ果実用クラック発生処理装置2は、カキ果実Fを支持する支持部11と、支持部11に支持されたカキ果実Fに火炎を放射して少なくとも角皮にクラックを発生させるバーナ12とを備えてなる。また、カキ果実用外果皮除去装置6は、カキ果実Fが通過可能な通過穴部60を有し、該通過穴部60の内周に径方向内向きの舌片部61を設けてなる円盤体49と、円盤体49を略垂直軸心回りに回転させる回転駆動手段64とを備えたものである。【選択図】図2
