Professional Potato Peeler: Features and Specifications
The professional potato peeler is an essential device in the food processing industry, canteens, catering, and large-scale restaurants, for quickly peeling large quantities of vegetables and root vegetables. This tool guarantees high performance and reduces the manual effort required by the operator, optimizing time and freeing up time for other tasks.
Features
One of the most appreciated aspects of the professional potato peeler is its processing capacity. In addition to potatoes, it can efficiently peel other vegetables, such as onions and carrots. This makes it an ideal choice for facilities that need to prepare large quantities of food in short periods, such as canteens and restaurants. Models available on the market vary in load capacity, adapting to different operational needs: from small appliances with a capacity of 5 kg to larger units that can handle up to 30 kg or more.
A distinguishing feature compared to manual peeling is the ability to adjust the peeling thickness, achieving a uniform and precise result that is often impossible to achieve by hand.
In terms of materials, professional peelers are designed to withstand intensive and frequent use: the frame is usually made of stainless steel to ensure sturdiness and durability, while the lid can vary depending on the model. Safety and functionality are essential: for example, many machines automatically stop operation when the lid is lifted, in compliance with CE regulations.
These devices not only offer optimal performance but are also easy to clean, thanks to their simple design and materials.
How they work
Using a professional peeler is extremely simple and requires only a few steps:
- After correctly installing the machine, insert the vegetables into the feeding area located under the top lid.
- Once inserted into the peeling chamber, the automatic action of the abrasive disc located at the base ensures flawless peeling. Some models also have abrasive side surfaces to further optimize the process.
- Once peeling is complete, the vegetables are unloaded and ready for the next use.
The peel residue is transferred to the drain. Depending on the size of the machine, you can opt for a configuration with a large drain or a model with an internal drawer that filters waste and purifies the water.
Potato Peeler Drain: Practical Tips
If you use a small potato peeler (e.g., 5 kg), you can place it near the sink, taking advantage of the water drain and collecting peels and residues through a filter. For larger stains, however, it is advisable to place them on the floor with a dedicated drain. These models can be moved into storage when not in use.
It is essential that the drain is equipped with a siphon to prevent odors from rising and has a minimum size of DN40 for machines up to 15 kg. We always recommend consulting the technical specifications of the model purchased to find out the requirements for water and electrical connections.
The ideal solution? A complete system with a base, integrated filter, and an independent drain.
