Potato peeling line
In industrial potato processing, achieving high-quality peeled potatoes with minimal peel waste is crucial. This requires precise peeling techniques that cater to the condition of potatoes and the desired end product.
Maximize peeling yield with efficient steam technology
The Tummers potato peeling line is designed to ensure optimal peeling results with minimal waste. The process begins with potatoes entering the peeling drum from a weighing hopper, maintaining an optimal balance of peeling yield and steam consumption. The Tummers steam peeler uses a high-speed rotating steam drum to expose potatoes to steam evenly. It heats the water under the peel above 100°C, and a blow-off system causes a pressure drop that loosens the potato peel. Subsequently, a brushing machine removes the peel. Depending on the required capacity and peeling result, Tummers offers either the U-Brusher or the ZicZac-Brusher. The brushed-off peels can be further processed, such as for animal feed, since no water is used during brushing. The final stage involves washing systems that remove any remaining peel residue and loose starch by rubbing the potatoes against each other and the drum wall. Tummers offers drum washers or washing screw conveyors, with recycled water ensuring minimal water consumption.
