Knife peeler for long root vegetables
Optimize your root vegetable processing with a high-speed knife peeler that ensures precision peeling, maintaining the natural appearance and quality of your produce.
Efficiently Peels Long Root Vegetables
The UP-8000 Universal Knife Peeler from Sormac is designed for peeling long root vegetables such as carrots, radishes, and cucumbers. It stands out due to its efficient handling of high volumes, processing approximately 6,000 to 8,500 pieces per hour without needing product orientation unless extremely tapered. This machine uses a series of eight knife stations to ensure thorough peeling while preserving the natural color and smooth surface of each vegetable. Ideal for food processing, agriculture, and fresh produce industries, it supports applications ranging from preparing peeled carrots for packaging to producing ready-to-eat vegetable snacks.
The UP-8000 integrates seamlessly into production lines, featuring air-filled transport rollers made of food-safe plastic and a V-conveyor that simplifies product transfer. Its quick-release system allows rapid disassembly for cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime. Frequently paired with Sormac’s singulators and cutters, it forms part of a complete processing solution. While designed for durability and reliability, the UP-8000 accommodates customization and engineering support tailored to meet specific production needs.
