[Problem] To provide a peeling device for root vegetables and the like with which peeling can be performed in either a dry or wet manner depending on the type of vegetable, and uniform and thin peeling can be achieved. [Solution] This peeling device (10) for root vegetables and the like is provided with: columnar drums (16A, 16B) having perforation blades for peeling and polygonal drums (18A, 18B) formed in a polygonal shape and having perforation blades. These columnar drums and polygonal drums are arranged in parallel at a distance from each other. The peeling device is configured so that a space formed between the columnar drums and the polygonal drums serves as a processing path in which root vegetables and the like are peeled, a feed screw (20) having a helical feed vane is disposed along the processing path, the feed screw is rotated to transfer an object to be processed, which has been introduced from an introduction opening into the processing path, along the processing path to a discharge opening side, and the surface of the object is peeled by the perforation blades formed on the columnar drums and the polygonal drums during transferring.Le problème décrit par la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif dépluchage pour légumes-racines et similaires avec lequel un épluchage peut être effectué de manière sèche ou humide selon le type de légume, et qui permet dobtenir un épluchage uniforme et fin. La solution de linvention porte sur un dispositif dépluchage (10) pour des légumes-racines et similaires, ledit dispositif comprenant : des tambours en colonne (16A, 16B) ayant des lames de perforation pour lépluchage et des tambours polygonaux (18A, 18B) formés en une forme polygonale et ayant des lames de perforation. Ces tambours en colonne et tambours polygonaux sont disposés en parallèle à une certaine distance les uns des autres. Le dispositif dépluchage est conçu de telle sorte quun espace formé entre les tambours en colonne et les tambours polygonaux
