PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve cutting efficiency and cutting quality by easily and precisely adjusting cutting conditions to be optimum according to kinds and sizes of citrus fruits, in particular, in a cutting device for the citrus fruits like Yuzu, Sudachi, Citrus sphaerocarpa, Buntan, lemon and lime of which juice and peel are mainly used.SOLUTION: A pair of rotary blades 74a, 74b facing a squeezed citrus fruit are arranged to have a truncated chevron shape narrowed in the direction facing the squeezed citrus fruit in plan view. The peel 87 of the squeezed citrus fruit is cut with the pair of rotary blades 74a, 74b. After that, the peel 87 is discharged to the outside by the centrifugal force of the rotary blades 74a, 74b, and residue 88 of the peel left after cutting is allowed to fall from between the rotary blades for discharge. The rotary blades 74a, 74b arranged in the truncated chevron shape can be adjusted in the interval and the angle of arrangement.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】柚子,スダチ,カボス,文旦,レモン,ライム等の主として果汁や果皮を利用する柑橘類果実の切削装置に関し、特には柑橘類果実の種類やサイズに応じて最適の切削状態を簡便、かつ、正確に調節可能とすることによって、切削効率と切削品質を向上させる。【解決手段】搾汁済みの柑橘類果実に対面して一対の回転刃74a,74bを平面視において搾汁済みの柑橘類果実に対面する方向が狭窄したハ字状に設置し、一対の回転刃74a,74bで搾汁済みの柑橘類果実の果皮87を切削した後、回転刃74a,74bの遠心力で切削した果皮87を外方に排出し、果皮を切削した後の残滓88は回転刃の間から落下させて排出し、ハ字状に設置した回転刃74a,74bの間隔及び設置角度を調節可能とした。【選択図】図28
