PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a peeling machine for surely and stably peeling a prescribed amount of root vegetables.SOLUTION: A drum 20 is equipped with a drum body 21 in which ridge line parts of adjacent rectangular plate materials 22 are mutually and rotatably connected to form a polygonal shape. A circular ring 29 is attached to one open end of the drum body 21 and a circular cover 35 is attached to the other open end, respectively. The tip part of fixing pins 32 arranged at at least one part of each of the circular ring and the circular cover is engageably attached to the ridge line part, the two adjacent rectangular plate materials 22 and 22 are opened to the outside by releasing an engagement state by the fixing pins 32. The outer circumferential surfaces of the circular ring and the circular cover of the drum 20 are placed on a pair of right and left support rollers 6 and 9 arranged on a frame 1 so as to support the drum, and the support roller 6 is rotated and driven by a motor 12 to rotate the drum 20.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】所定量の根菜類の皮むきを確実に安定して施すことができる皮むき機を提供すること。【解決手段】ドラム20は、隣り合う長方形板材22の稜線部分同士を回動可能に連結して多角形に形成したドラム本体21を設け、ドラム本体21の一方の開口端に円形リング29を、その他方の開口端に円形カバー35を夫々取り付け、円形リング及び円形カバーの各々に少なくとも1箇所に設けた固定ピン32の先端部を前記稜線部分に係合自在に設けると共に当該固定ピン32による係合状態を解除することにより隣り合う2つの長方形板材22,22を外側へ開放可能に設けてなり、フレーム1に配置した左右一対の支持ローラ6,9にドラム20の円形リング及び円形カバーの外周面を載せて当該ドラムを支持するように設け、モータ12により支持ローラ6を回転駆動してドラム20を回転させる。【選択図】図1
