ABSTRACT:
The machine comprises a lift-conveyor with a lower return-stretch (5) followed in succession by sets of accelerator-chains (7), cutter-device (25), pressure-shoe device (26), bottle-neck exit device (27) and deflector device (22). Sets of channels composed of one fixed (39) and one movable oscillating cheek (20) are arranged in succession about the periphery of the drum (15) and caused thus to rotate. A gulley (40) located between each pair of fixed channel-cheeks provides for discharging peeled tomatoes. Each of the movable channel-cheeks is fitted outermost with a roller (21) designed to pass through the deflector (22) which causes the cheek itself to be drawn toward a fixed magnet (23) and held thereby in the open position until coming against a flexible cam profile (24) which detaches it from said magnet in order to bring about the required squeezing action performed by the channel-cheeks in causing each single tomato to eject from its covering of skin, viz. (28).
