Processing machinery for cleaning, scrubbing, drying, and polishing produce, such as fruits and vegetables, utilizing centrifugal force produced by the relative rotation between a produce receiving rotating disc member and an opposed stationary disc member, both of which have surfaces in the form of brushes cooperating to treat produce that passes between the two brush surfaces to the disc members' periphery. Produce is introduced by a chute communicating with an inner diameter opening in the stationary disc member and falls onto the center of the rotating disc member where the rotating motion creates a centrifugal force urging it outwardly toward the disc members' periphery between the upper and lower brushes. When the produce reaches the disc periphery it drops off and is directed to a common discharge so that the brushes produce a 360 degree discharge of produce to a single discharge path out of the machine. The basic machine arrangement can also be used for drying and polishing produce.
