Rating of the best industrial peelers for 2020

An industrial peeler is the most frequently used and necessary equipment in the kitchen of cafes, restaurants, and other catering establishments. Such devices are indispensable for retail stores (supermarkets) that sell finished products.

The wide field of application of professional automatic machines for cleaning vegetables and the ability to process a large volume of products contribute to the increase in the popularity of models of such equipment.

A competent manager understands that it is not only physically difficult for employees to peel a large number of vegetables with their own hands, but it also takes a lot of time, which is why he does not spare money to purchase such a necessary gadget.

Another area of ​​use for peelers is the production and sale of peeled vegetables. For professional use in large volumes, we recommend buying devices from well-known brands, which have proven themselves well in reliability and durability. If you have a limited budget, you should consider cheaper analogs, which are practically not inferior to them in basic parameters.

Peeler device

Most of the devices have the same type of structure and consist of the following elements: body, funnel for loading products, control panel, drive.

The device is controlled and started by acting on the buttons on the remote control. After the products are loaded into the device, the body is closed with a lid (usually transparent). A sprinkler is connected to it, which washes away the remnants of the peel and promotes mixing of the products, as a result of which the peel is removed.

The principle of operation of devices for cleaning root crops

The process is fully automated and takes place without operator intervention (except for setting, loading and unloading products). To remove the peel, use special sharp knives or an abrasive surface.

After the user has loaded the products into the receiving funnel, they enter the drum, where mechanical peeling of the peel takes place using rotating discs.

After peeling the vegetables, they are washed with water and transferred to a container, from where they can be removed for further processing. Water with remnants of the peel goes directly to the sewer. In some models, a husk trap is installed at the bottom, which allows you to separate the peel from the water in order to avoid clogging the sewer. Pure water is supplied from the water supply automatically.

The user does not need to control the device, it works completely in automatic mode. No consumables are required for the device; maintenance consists in periodic replacement or restoration of abrasive discs. The second option is preferable, since it costs an order of magnitude cheaper than a complete replacement. Regardless of the place of installation (floor or tabletop), it is recommended to foresee the possibility of connecting the device to water supply and sewerage in advance.

The operator determines the degree of purification of products visually. Some models of peelers allow you to set the cleaning time using a timer, but you still need to control the device, since too long operating time will lead to the removal of a thick layer of pulp, and a short period of operation will not give the desired result.

Experts do not recommend loading too dirty root crops into the device, since they can not only clog the sewer system, but also contribute to the rapid blunting of abrasive and cutting elements. Manufacturers recommend flushing the device after each cleaning in order to maximize its service life. After a full cycle of work, the operator receives cleaned products, which must be independently removed from the tray and brought to perfection, removing minor defects and finalizing the places that have not been cleaned.

The best food processing equipment manufacturers guarantee 95% cleaning of root crops.

How to choose the best peeler and what to look for

The main criteria for choosing a unit are the capacity declared by the manufacturer, the volume of loading and productivity.

The power of appliances used in the food industry is measured in kW and ranges from 0.5 to 0.9.

The loading volume shows how many root crops can be placed in the cooking chamber at one time. Popular and most often purchased models, on average, hold 7-10 kilograms of products. For large productions, potato peelers with a capacity of 18 kg or more are offered.

The productivity of the apparatus is the number of root crops processed in 1 hour. The minimum value is 150 kg / h, the maximum is 500 kg / h and more.

In order not to make mistakes when choosing a machine, it is important to know in advance the dimensions of the place in which it is supposed to be installed, and not to forget about the weight of the device, which is especially important for electric machines installed on the table. In addition to installation difficulties, these parameters affect the transportation of the product from the store.

Important selection criteria are also:

• the presence of additional removable disks designed for cleaning seafood and fruits;
• the amount of scrap allowed by the machine. The lower this figure, the better. Average value - 5%;
• the amount of waste generated. Here, you should also strive to a minimum, in which case the device will remove only a small top layer from root crops;
• material of manufacture - in the opinion of buyers, it is best to pay attention to models with a stainless steel hopper (they are not subject to rusting, they do not oxidize with mechanical damage);
• the presence of a transparent cover is not necessary, but desirable - it allows you to observe the cleaning process and stop it at the right time;
• if you have problems with a clogged sewer, we recommend choosing devices with a mesh filter that retains large waste and does not allow clogging;
• an electronic scoreboard with a timer will be an additional plus, it allows the operator to get away and not be constantly near the device during its operation;
• design and appearance usually do not play a big role, since such devices are located in technical rooms, and only service personnel can see them.

Conclusion

At the first assessment of the market for industrial peelers, you can get confused about what they are and for what products they are used. Most of these devices have a universal purpose, and can be used not only for peeling potatoes, but also for vegetables similar in structure - beets and carrots. Expensive models have the ability to additionally install discs for processing more delicate products - garlic, onions, and even shellfish.

When choosing an industrial peeler, we recommend focusing not only on how much it costs, but also on parameters such as the volume of a one-time load, power, productivity and the presence of a timer.

In case you are constrained in free funds, you should think about buying models of Russian or Chinese production, which are practically in no way inferior to eminent counterparts, but, at the same time, due to their simple design and with proper use, they will last almost as long as cars famous brands. All devices of this type have a similar principle of operation, and perform the function assigned to them quickly and efficiently. The difference, in most cases, lies only in design, as well as technical performance.

We hope that our article will help you make the right choice and buy a peeler with an optimal ratio of price, quality and reliability.
