Once the pit is removed from any variety of pitted olives, as you say yourself, they can be stuffed with all kinds of different things. You then ask why is it always pimiento? Well, it isn't always pimiento. It is, if you are referring to Manzanilla olives, because the recipe for Spanish stuffed olives includes using pimiento the spanish word for pepper Who came up with this recipe, would be impossible to find in my humble opinion because it is so old.
Most likely, it was someone experimenting with stuffing olives, tried it with pimiento and decided it tasted good. I guess a lot of other people did as well, so it caught on, to become the Manzanilla Olive from Spain. But the overriding question from one reader seems to be, how in the world do manufacturers get the stuffing, and specifically the pimentos, into olives in the first place?
Well that depends on the quality of the olives that you buy. For higher-end olives, the process seems to be painstaking, and all done by hand. For the not-so-high-end olives that most of us buy, the process is a little different, and a tad less appetizing. Take a look at the answer, provided by science reporter Elizabeth Weise, in the video above.
Have a question of your own? The motor 52 is carried by the bridge bracket 53, mounted on the 1 plate 4. As pairs of plates 9 pass out from under the straightening spindles in an intermittent movement, each plate carries seven olives with long axis vertically erect and ready to be stuffed I of stuffing heads.
Slidably arranged in each tube 36 is an ejector rod Hi. All the rods are fixed rigidly in the ejector plate ii, mounted for vertical movement on the guide rods 58 by a bearing bracket [2, arranged on each end of the plate. The ejector plate isgiven an independent vertical movement by a pair of like cams 13, fixed on the shaft 3 , near opposite ends of the plate; and working against cam rollers 13a, journaled on bearing blocks 14 fixed-to the plate. Springs 75 interposed between the plate and the frame effect the upward recovery movement of the plate after it has been thrust down by the cams.
The lower end of each of the ejector rods is concave, and. The concave end also tends to force the substance of the pimiento towards its own center and away from the wall of the tube. Extending from opposite sides of the tube and about midway of the length of the aperture 68, are studs 76 on each of which a slotted rocker ll slides and pivots.
Motion of the rockers'is controlled by the lever 18 pivoted in the bracket 19 extending from the tube; The lever is pivotally connected to each rocker by a pin 80 journaled in a bearing 8 fixed on the rocker. The rockers which lie; one on each side of the tube, are connected by a gate 82 comprising a short section of the tube; and the parts are so proportioned and arranged that this gate is aligned with the adjacent tube wall to substantially close the aperture 38 when the ejector rod descends past it to eject the piece of pimiento.
It then swings back to clear the aperture so that a strip of pimiento may be introduced into the tube. These two positions are shown in Figures 14 and 13 respectively.
The lower edge 83 of the gate and the adjacent edge of the tube are both sharpened to a cutting edge, and when the gate closes upon the strip, which tends to fold up as it is pushed in, the gate not only compresses the folded strip into a slug filling the bore of the tube, but severs it cleanly exactly at the entrance to the tube. Since operation of the gate must be timed with movement of the ejector rod, the lever 18 is operated by a cam face 84, cut in the side of the ejector rod.
At its upper end the lever 78 is bifurcated to enclose the tube with the arms A pin 87 carried at the end of the arms engages aeoaisse the cam thru a notchi-n the side of the tube;. Eormedon the lower end of the lever 18 is a tongue '89 whichiprojects thru a hole in the wall of the tube and blocks the passage thru the tube just below the gate, when the gate is open.
The purpose of the tongue is to catch the end of the limp strip of pimiento as it enters the tube andw cause the strip to form a downwardly opening hairpin fold. Since the pimiento strip is fed a predetermined distance with each operation, the length of strip folded into the tube isa'lways the same. A horizontal conveyor belt I, preferably faced with a waterproof fiexiblematerial, is arranged to run over pulleys , journaled in bearings on opposite sides-of the frame extension This framemayextend out at-an angle as shown, or it may extend in the same direction as the main frame.
The angular arrangement is thought to give a more convenient :access to the machine by the attendants. Closely overlying the belt9l are a plurality of guide bars 94 pointed at one end and spaced apart to provide seven passages 90 leading to a grooved forming roller An attendant lays strips of pimiento on the belt 9 in position to enter the passages 96, thru which they pass under the roller, the grooves 99 of which squeeze the strip to size and pass it along into passages IOI formed in the underside of the cover plate I The roller is journaled in bearings I03 vertically slidably arranged on the frame; and is strongly resiliently held down against the belt by springs I04; the belt at this point being supported by the underlying plate I05 secured at each side to the frame.
A motor I06 carried by a bracket on the frame, drives the conveyor belt 9 thru gear reduction I01 and chain I08 to a sprocket I09 on the shaft of one of the pulleys A rod IIO extending across the cover plate and pivotally carried in brackets III thereon provides a latch for holding the cover plate down.
The downturned ends of the rod are turned in to form a stub pin II2 which may be latched under the arcuate lug H3 on each side of the frame. The conveyor belt runs continuously, and faster than the feed will be, closer to the stuffing tubes; with the result that any interval between pieces of pimiento will be closed up by the time the strips reach the stuffing tubes.
At the end of the plate I02, each passag I8I opens adjacent to a tube II4, which is supported on the frame top H5 and extend toward the stuffing heads, curving in to end just in front of them as best shown in Figure 5. Thru each tube extends an endless chain IIO, which passes 7 around the roller H1 at one end and the roller I I8 at the other, then up over the driving sprocket H9 and under the idler roller I2I.
This chain may be a fiat wire link or a ball link, both of well known pattern, and the size of the links relative to the bore of the tubes is such as to When the gate closes, the strip is severed The guide bars are the stufling tube aperture.
Cross bars I2I and I, each with guide apertures ithru which the.
