Boema S.p.A. manufactures steam pressure peeling machines SPB that work in batch according to a cycle subdivided into six phases exploiting the principle of the pressure drop. The advantages of the steam pressure peeling method studied by Boema are several:

- high yield according to the quality of the product peeled and independent from the shape of the singular pieces;

- relatively high capacity;

- quick and easy adjustment;

- preserving of organoleptic features (taste and flavour of fruit, in particular if compared with soda peeling);

- reduced processing cost;

- ecological peeling both for the absence of chemical substances as for the low quantity of organic matter in the process waste waters.
