This utility model relates to the field of cleaning and peeling devices, and more particularly to a cleaning and peeling device for sweet potato
food processing, comprising a cleaning tank and a cleaning mechanism; the cleaning mechanism is provided on both sides of the cleaning tank, a pushing mechanism is provided on one side of the cleaning tank, a moving mechanism is provided at the lower end of the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and a diversion mechanism is provided at both ends of the cleaning tank, with a peeling
machine provided at the lower end of the diversion mechanism. This utility model recycles water through the cleaning mechanism and the diversion mechanism, and the moving mechanism and the pushing mechanism transport the cleaned sweet potatoes into the peeling
machine. It solves the problems of existing devices that mostly use single water injection for rinsing, with water being directly discharged after use, resulting in low water
resource utilization, difficulty in thoroughly removing
dirt from the grooves on the surface of sweet potatoes, slow cleaning speed, need for multiple water changes, and the need for manual retrieval of sweet potatoes after cleaning and manual transfer to the peeling
machine, which is labor-intensive and prone to
skin damage due to collision and squeezing during manual transfer, affecting the subsequent peeling quality and yield.
