A steam peeling device comprising a vessel provided with a closable opening near one end for introducing and removing products to be processed into and from, respectively, a receiving space for the products in the vessel, wherein the opposite end of the vessel is closed by an end wall, and means for supplying steam to the vessel, wherein the vessel can be rotatably driven 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, characterised in that a perforated jacket surrounding the receiving space all round is disposed within the vessel, spaced from the wall thereof by a short distance, and a supply pipe for steam opens into the space present between the wall of the vessel and the jacket.
A steam peeling device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that a partition plate which is fixed to the inner wall of the vessel is disposed in the vessel, between the end of the vessel comprising the end wall and the substantially horizontal axis of rotation, in the central portion of which partition plate a passage is formed, whilst means for removing condensate are provided, which means communicate with the space between the end wall and the partition plate, wherein the device includes a valve mechanism, which shuts off the passage in the central portion in a first position and which releases said passage in a second position so as to place the space between the end wall and the partition plate into open communication with the other part of the interior of the vessel.
