    Solution

    A flame peeler utilises a conveyer belt to transport and rotate the material through a furnace heated to temperatures above 1000°C. The skin (e.g. paper shell, root hairs) is burned off and then removed by high-pressure water sprays. Flame peeling is used, for example, for peeling onions.
