This machine consists of i) stationary drum fitted with silicon bouncers and battens, ii) rotating polar grid as fruit carrier, iii) lid with feeding chute, iv) outlet for peel, v) main frame and vi) Three phase 0.75 kW geared electric motor. Segments of pomegranate fruits are fed to the aril extracting unit through the feeding chute. The segments are carried by the fruit carrier plate. The arils are extracted by the silicon bouncers and battens. The pomegranate arils are passed through the fruit carrier plate and collected through the aril outlet. This machine has capacity of 80 kg/h with aril extracting efficiency of 93-95%. This machine is highly suitable for small scale pomegranate processing industries
