Removing pineapple flesh from its skin has become a major problem for pineapple consumer. The problem that appears is when removing the flesh, there are some flesh attached to its skin. The skin that also has sharp thorn make the process difficult. Thus, when cutting, it is not a clean cut. In order to solve this, we improvised the pineapple flesh remover by adding motor to make it works automatically. To operate it, cut at the top of the pineapple and place the pineapple flesh remover at the open top of the fruit. When the switch is on, the machine rotate and the blade move vertically inside the pineapple to get its flesh. The former pineapple flesh remover use a lot human energy to make it work. We choose this product because it already have commercialization value in market.
