System for steam peeling of products having a skin

A system for the steam-peeling of products having a skin, comprising:

• a pressure vessel rotatable about a rotational axis in a rotational direction and having a wall which surrounds a pressure space of the pressure vessel, wherein in the wall is provided a through opening for feeding products into the pressure space via the through opening and for evacuating products from the pressure space via the through opening, the pressure vessel further comprising a closure member for closing off the through opening;
• a feeder for feeding steam to the pressure space;
• and
• an evacuator for evacuating steam and condensate from the pressure space;
• wherein the pressure vessel, on an inner side of the wall, is provided with at least one agitation member for the radially inward movement of products during rotation of the pressure vessel about the rotational axis, wherein the at least one agitation member comprises at least one agitation member of a first type, which is connected to the wall and comprises an agitation body that, viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the rotational axis, has a convex shape, and that, together with the wall of the pressure vessel, surrounds a cavity, wherein on the front side of the agitation member of the first type, in the agitation body and/or between the agitation body and the wall, at least one flow opening is provided, and wherein the agitation body, on the rear side of the agitation member, connects to the wall in a liquid-tight manner, so that condensate such as is formed within the pressure vessel during use can flow via the at least one flow opening into the cavity and cannot depart the cavity via the rear side of the agitation member, and wherein in that part of the wall which jointly surrounds the cavity is provided a further flow opening, which communicates with a collecting tank provided on the outer side of the pressure vessel, in order to further allow condensate to flow from the cavity via the further flow opening to the collecting tank.
