Floodable peeling vessel

The patent employs a water vortex system where water flow is used to propel bodies through a peeling chamber. The hydraulic action creates a spiraling vortex that moves bodies along a defined pathway, eliminating the need for mechanical conveyors or complex drive mechanisms while maintaining continuous processing capability.

The water vortex automatically propels bodies through the peeling chamber without external mechanical assistance. The system uses the water flow itself to provide both the cleaning action and the transport mechanism, allowing bodies to move through the process autonomously once introduced into the chamber.

The peeling chamber is designed with a rounded or circular cross-section, creating a vortex pathway that efficiently utilizes the available space. The curved geometry allows water to flow in a spiraling pattern that maximizes the length of the peeling pathway within a compact volume, increasing residence time without proportionally increasing vessel size.

The system transitions from linear or planar processing to three-dimensional vortex flow. Bodies are propelled through a spiraling pathway that utilizes vertical and radial dimensions simultaneously, effectively increasing the peeling pathway length and processing capacity without a proportional increase in vessel footprint.

The peeling action is achieved by extracting or removing small portions of the exterior surface through repeated contact with peeling members during the vortex pathway traversal. Rather than applying complex mechanical forces, the system relies on the cumulative effect of multiple light contacts as bodies spiral through the chamber.

The system replaces complex mechanical peeling mechanisms (such as rotating drums, reciprocating blades, or pressing rollers) with a simpler water vortex propulsion system. The peeling members are passively engaged by the flowing water and bodies, eliminating the need for powered mechanical peeling components.
