Abstract
A peeling head is provided for use in a peeling machine wherein a fruit or vegetable (such as an apple or pear) is skewered and rotated about an axis and wherein at least one elongated pivotable shaft housing with a rotary peeling cutter mounted on its distal end articulates to move the rotary peeling cutter around the surface of the fruit or vegetable. The peeling head has a plastic guard carried at the distal end of the shaft housing, and a ceramic tracing shoe insert carried by the plastic guard wherein the ceramic tracing shoe insert has a peel string guide which constantly urges the peel string in the proper direction in order to facilitate breaking of the peel string.
