Root crop peeler and scrubber
When processing root vegetables such as potatoes, beets, and carrots, achieving a clean, peeled product efficiently can be challenging. Traditional peeling methods often result in high waste and inconsistent results, making it difficult to maintain quality and reduce operational costs.
Peel and scrub root vegetables efficiently
The War Horse from Lyco Manufacturing is a peeler and scrubber specifically designed for root crops such as potatoes, beets, and carrots. Suitable for both after-steam peeling and stand-alone raw peeling, it ensures efficient removal of skins while minimizing waste. The War Horse features hydraulic-driven motors with variable speed options, making it adaptable to different processing needs. Rolls operate between 400-500 RPM to optimize peeling and scrubbing action. With a capacity of up to 50,000 pounds per hour, the machine is built for high throughput and reliability. Its full-length auger design improves recovery rates, yielding up to 2.80% more product compared to traditional methods. Additionally, the War Horse boasts low maintenance requirements, using half the bearings of competitive systems, which reduces downtime and operational costs.
