Abstract

A peeling machine (1) includes individual device groups (2, 5, 63, 7) which can be centered and clamped at guide rails (23, 24). The guide rails also furnish a particular sliding possibility for a selective moving apart of individual device groups (2, 5, 63). This allows for maintenance, inspection, and repair of the device groups, which are made accessible by moving the individual device groups apart without any heavy equipment. The device groups, which are not to be separated during the pulling apart of the peeling machine at the guide rails, are connected to each other (64, 65) such that the peeling machine can be separated and subdivided at the desired location. The guide rails extend parallel to the rotation axis (62) of the cutter head (26) of the peeling machine and can be quickly bolted and released.
