Abstract: A system for steam-peeling products including a rotatable pressure vessel having a wall surrounding a pressure space, an opening for products, and a closure member for closing the opening. A feeder feeds steam to the pressure space. An evacuator evacuates steam and condensate from the pressure space. At least one agitation member is disposed on an inner wall of the vessel for radially inward movement of products during rotation of the vessel. The at least one agitation member has an agitation body with a convex shape that together with the wall surrounds a cavity, and on a front side has at least one flow opening in the agitation body and/or between the body and the wall. Part of the wall jointly surrounds the cavity and has a flow opening to a collection tank outside of the pressure vessel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a steam peeling device comprising a vessel provided with a closable opening near one end for introducing and removing products to be processed. The opposite end of the vessel is closed by an end wall. A device for supplying steam to the vessel are furthermore provided. The vessel is rotatable about an at least substantially horizontal axis of rotation, which is positioned between the two ends of the vessel and which extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the elongated vessel. A perforated jacket surrounding the receiving space all round is disposed within the vessel, spaced from the wall thereof by a short distance. A supply pipe for steam opens into the space present between the wall of the vessel and the jacket.
