Then the leek goes through 2 rotating peeling tumbles with peeling fingers, which travels the leek continuously from the roots to the leaves. It takes the dirty leaves and pulls them off. It washes and peels leeks and cuts the roots and surplus green to size. The peeling drums are easily adjustable via a lever. The speed of the belts, drums and knives is adjustable.
