The gorgon peeling machine generally adopts a rotary peeling method, which can quickly separate the shell from the meat without damaging the gorgon meat. It is small in size, simple to operate, saves a lot of processing time, and is suitable for family processing operations.

5. However, machine peeling can easily crush the water chestnuts, and the processed water chestnuts are of poor quality and low price, so some growers still use the traditional peeling method. The traditional method is to spread the fruit on the threshing floor, beat it continuously with a wooden pestle to make the shell crack and break, then put it into a basket and step on it to let the film on the outside of the seed fall off naturally, crack out the seed, wash it with water and dry it to get the edible water chestnut.
