Potato Peelers

The theory of potato peelers has hardly altered in 50 years. The sides of the chamber are gritted with a revolving gritted base plate, which actually does 90% or the peeling work. The only real advance has been in double-sided base plates, which feature a coarse grit for peeling old potatoes and a lighter grit for soft-skinned new potatoes.

Choosing a potato peeler size is all dependent on daily throughput, but do the calculation based on 75% of the stated capacity. Overfilling the machine slows down the process, tends to throw squared potatoes and is very wasteful. Another important working practice is to get the machine running before putting the potatoes in. To load the machine before switching on puts the motor under great strain to get moving against the resistance of the potatoes.

Carrots will clean in a standard potato peeler, most manufacturers offer a gentler base plate for skinning onions and salad baskets are available for spinning off washed salads.
