Batch peeler for potatoes and root vegetables
For processors looking to efficiently peel potatoes and root vegetables, maintaining high yields and consistent peeling quality is essential. Challenges include reducing peel loss and ensuring smooth, contaminant-free surfaces for frying or further processing.
Precisely control peeling and increase yields
The Batch Peeler from Heat and Control offers excellent control and high yields for potato and root vegetable processing. This peeler confines the product within a peeling chamber, offering superior control compared to continuous peelers where products can escape by bouncing on abrasive rollers. By using two peelers in tandem—a coarse abrasive in the first for rapid peel removal and a fine abrasive in the second for surface polishing—less scrap is transferred downstream, reducing product waste. The fully adjustable batch size and dwell time ensure repeatable, high-quality peeling. The peeler’s stainless steel construction and easily removable abrasive surfaces facilitate quick cleaning and maintenance. Ideal applications include potato chips and French fries, as well as other root vegetables like beets.
