• Preparing vegetables for freezing, dicing, or pureeing operations.
• Use in large-scale catering facilities or institutional kitchens for high-volume peeling.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of continuous roller peeler, throughput can typically range from 1,000 kg/hour to over 5,000 kg/hour, depending on product type and desired peel.

Power supply

Units of this size commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor ratings varying based on roller configuration and drive system.

Footprint

A 3-meter continuous peeler will have a significant footprint, typically requiring a floor space of at least 3.5m in length and 1.5m in width, plus access for maintenance.

Roller configuration

This unit is specified with 8 rollers, which is common for achieving a consistent peel on various product shapes and sizes.

Peeling mechanism

Continuous roller peelers typically use abrasive rollers or knife rollers to remove skin, with the intensity of the peel adjustable by roller speed and dwell time.

Water requirements

Units of this type commonly require a continuous water supply for washing and flushing away peel waste, often with a recirculating system for efficiency.

Construction material

For food processing equipment, stainless steel construction (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) is typically used for all product contact parts to ensure hygiene and durability.
