PEELING DEVICE FOR ROD-SHAPED VEGETABLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that a conventional peeling device for rod-shaped vegetables includes a gripper, an operation tool for opening or closing a supply channel, a pressing body for pressing the rear end of the rod-shaped vegetable, a feeder, a cutting tool with many blade holes, and a drive device, but since the blade hole is circular, the thickness of peeled skin tends to become thin, and for example, thickly peeling is required depending on production area, cooking or the like. SOLUTION: There is provided a peeling device for rod-shaped vegetables produced by arranging on a machine casing; a gripper for holding and supporting the periphery of the rod-shaped vegetable in its longitudinal direction; an operation tool for opening or closing the supply channel of the vegetable in liaison with the gripper; a feeder for feeding the vegetable downward from above by pressing the rear end of the vegetable to the supply channel by the pressing body; a cutting tool provided freely rotatably; and a drive device for rotating the cutting tool. A blade body is composed of a rectangular blade hole opened at a slant in a contact part having a ginkgo leaf shape and a blade edge provided in the blade hole, and at least three of the blade bodies are disposed.
