Efficiently peel long root vegetables
The Sormac UP-8000 knife peeler is designed for the efficient peeling of long root vegetables, including carrots, radish, and cucumbers. The product features an innovative V-conveyor that moves the vegetables onto transport rollers without requiring orientation unless the product is extremely tapered. The UP-8000 operates with 8 peeling stations that ensure each vegetable is uniformly peeled. The peeler uses air-filled transport rollers made of food-safe plastic to carefully transport the product through the machine. It also includes a quick-release system for easy removal and cleaning of knife stations and transport rollers. The waste produced by the peeling process is collected in bins located beneath the machine. The capacity of the UP-8000 ranges between 6,000 and 8,500 pieces per hour, making it ideal for high-volume operations.
