PURPOSE:To enable improved and efficient peeling of tomatoes without causing problems of food sanitary and pollution, by bringing a given circulating high- temperature hot air flow into contact with tomatoes while preheated tomatoes are rotated and transported through a hot zone. CONSTITUTION:The hot zone 51 is formed on the way to the circulation duct 41 connected to the generating part 13 for a high-temperature hot air flow, the transporting means 71 positioned at the hot zone 51, transporting tomatoes with rotating them, is set, and the preheating zone 81 connected to the hot zone 51 is made at the inlet side of the transporting means 71. While preheated tomatoes preheated by the preheating zone are rotated and transferred by the transporting means 71, a given circulating high-temperature hot air is brought into contact with the tomatoes. Consequently, improved and efficient peeling of tomatoes is made possible without causing problems of food sanitation and pollution.
