An electromechanical double-bladed fruit and vegetable peeling and cutting machine comprising a holding mechanism (1), a peeling mechanism (2), and a cutting mechanism (3) sequentially provided in a direction of fruit and vegetable processing. The holding mechanism receives and holds a fruit or vegetable, and pushes the fruit or vegetable toward the peeling mechanism for positioning. The peeling mechanism performs positioning, measures actual cutting height of the fruit or vegetable, and adaptively peels the fruit or vegetable by means of two peeling blades. The cutting mechanism removes a top and a bottom portion of the peeled fruit or vegetable, and cuts the fruit or vegetable into pieces. A processing method for the electromechanical double-bladed fruit and vegetable peeling and cutting machine is also disclosed, and comprises: using a holding mechanism to hold and fix a fruit or vegetable in a processing position; using a peeling structure to accurately measure the height of the fruit or vegetable to be processed; using two peeling blades to efficiently and adaptively peel the fruit or vegetable; and finally engaging a pushing cylinder (27), to sequentially push multiple fruits and vegetables toward a cutting blade (37) such that the fruits and vegetables are cut into pieces. A third telescopic cylinder participates in the processing steps by pushing cutting blades such that the bottoms and the tops of the fruits and vegetables are removed. The invention reduces processing time, and improves productivity.

A peeler blade (102) of a peeler (101) is made to swing such as to come into contact with and separate from a virtual axial line of a peeler shaft (111) by a tension state of an urging member (148) being adjusted based on a rotation angle difference between the peeler shaft (111) and a center shaft (141). Peeling is performed from an upper portion side of a fruit or vegetable that is supported by a fruit and vegetable holder (161), on a counter-peeler driving section arrangement side in relation to a virtual axial line of the fruit and vegetable holder (161). The peeling device is made for, for example, peeling a fruit or vegetable having hard skin such as a pineapple.

Described is an apparatus for peeling a mango which includes: a frame defining a seat designed to receive a mango to be peeled; an operating element projecting in the seat and designed to constitute a pivot of rotation for a mango; a handling device having an operating surface designed to interfere with the peel of a mango for exerting on it a traction by friction; the handling device facing the operating element in such a way that a passage for a mango is defined between them; drive means connected to the operating surface to operate it according to a movement designed to force a mango against the operating element and through the passage; elastic means designed to oppose the distancing of the operating element from the operating surface in order to elastically adapt the width of the passage to a mango; a blade placed in the passage and spaced from the operating surface in order to remove a surface layer of the mango.
