ABSTRACT:
A processing machine for washing, scrubbing, or peeling products, such as vegetables or fruit, comprises a plurality of elongated rotatable processing rollers (with brushes or abrading elements thereon) arranged to define a U-shaped trough through which the products pass for processing. A rotatable waste discharging auger is located below the trough. A rotatable product mobilizer apparatus, comprising a drive shaft, helical rods arranged around and supported on the drive shaft and located in the trough, and augers on the drive shaft at the opposite ends of the helical rods, operates to raise the product layer next to the processing rollers thereby creating a tumbling action, to positively move the products toward the discharge end of the processing rollers, and to control product load level in the trough as a function of the rotational speed of the product mobilizer apparatus. Each processing roller, the waste auger, and the product mobilizer apparatus is rotatably driven by an individual hydraulic motor supplied from a hydraulic pump and speed-regulating flow control valves are provided for the hydraulic motors. One end of each processing roller and one end of the waste auger is rotatably supported by the associated hydraulic motor.
