The present disclosure relates to a device (10) for processing pineapples comprising at least one carrier (7) for carrying a pineapple to be processed, and at least one processing unit for removing the outer ends from the pineapple (3) and/or for coring and peeling the pineapple (5). The at least one carrier (7) and the least one processing unit are located inside a housing (50) of the device (10). The housing (50) comprises an entrance (54), wherein the device (10) further comprises a pineapple introduction mechanism (52) configured for automatically introducing the pineapple to be processed in the housing (50) through the entrance (54) in the at least one carrier (7) inside the housing (50).

A peeler blade (102) of a peeler (101) is made to swing such as to come into contact with and separate from a virtual axial line of a peeler shaft (111) by a tension state of an urging member (148) being adjusted based on a rotation angle difference between the peeler shaft (111) and a center shaft (141). Peeling is performed from an upper portion side of a fruit or vegetable that is supported by a fruit and vegetable holder (161), on a counter-peeler driving section arrangement side in relation to a virtual axial line of the fruit and vegetable holder (161). The peeling device is made for, for example, peeling a fruit or vegetable having hard skin such as a pineapple.
