The apparatus is easy to move to a workplace due to the simple constitution, and is simple to use as a worker can hold the apparatus with one hand to use. In addition, the apparatus can remove a large area of the outer skin at a time as the outer skin removing unit has a curved shape same as the fruit tree, and thereby the present invention is very useful. |
