What types of potatoes can this line process?

Continuous peeling lines are generally versatile and can process a wide range of potato varieties, from new potatoes to larger maincrop, though specific peeler settings may need adjustment.

How efficient are continuous peelers in terms of yield?

Sormac continuous peelers are known for their efficiency, typically achieving high yields by minimising skin loss while effectively removing peel. Actual yield depends on potato quality and desired finish.

Is specialist installation required for this type of line?

Yes, due to the size and complexity of integrated processing lines, specialist installation and commissioning are typically required to ensure correct setup and optimal performance.

What maintenance is typically involved with a potato peeling line?

Regular maintenance typically includes cleaning, inspection of abrasive surfaces, lubrication of moving parts, and checking electrical and water connections. Wear parts, such as peeler rollers, will require periodic replacement.

Can the line be adapted for other root vegetables?

While primarily designed for potatoes, some continuous peeling lines can be adapted to process other root vegetables like carrots or parsnips, often requiring changes to peeler settings or specific components.
