PURPOSE: A method for peeling a chestnut by peeling the rind of green walnuts with a peeler and then spraying high-temperature and high-pressure steam and compressed air to remove inner skin thereof is provided which reduces the installation space thereof and has increased peeling rate without damage to the chestnut surface. CONSTITUTION: A chestnut whose rind is removed is conveyed into a peeling room(115). High-pressure vapor with a temperature of 110 to 120deg.C and a pressure of 3 to 5kg/cm¬2 and compressed air with a pressure of 3 to 4kg/cm¬2 are injected thereinto to remove the inner skin thereof, wherein there are an air cylinder(109) to open an upper cover plate(107) installed on the upper part of the peeling chamber, a high-pressure injection nozzle(114), a friction plate(108), and a flow amount control valve(116) in the peeling room.
