ABSTRACT:
An elongated conveyor assembly is provided upon which an aloe vera leaf may be lengthwise disposed and lengthwise advanced from one end of the conveyor toward the other end thereof. First and second cutting stations are spaced along the conveyor assembly and are operative to remove the opposite ends of an aloe vera leaf and to trim the opposite side marginal edges of the leaf therefrom. In addition, third and fourth stations are disposed along the conveyor assembly between the second station and the discharge end of the conveyor assembly and the third station includes structure for peeling the lower rind panel from an aloe vera leaf whose ends and side marginal portions have been removed while the fourth station includes structure for removing the gel layer of the leaf disposed on the upper rind panel thereof and exposed by the removal of the lower rind panel of the leaf. All cutting, rind panel peeling and gel removal operations are carried out during continuous movement of the leaf along the conveyor assembly at a substantially constant rate and the second cutting station is operative to remove corresponding longitudinal marginal edge portions of the leaf independent of the width thereof.
