PA - Rotary Parsnip Topper

• Used in large-scale food processing facilities for initial parsnip preparation.
• Suitable for operations requiring high-volume topping of root vegetables before further processing.
• Integrated into processing lines for ready-to-eat vegetable production.
• Utilised by commercial kitchens and catering suppliers for consistent product preparation.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 500 kg/hour to several tonnes/hour, depending on the unit's design and parsnip size.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

Dimensions typically vary, but a rotary topper would generally require a floor area of 1m x 1m to 2m x 2m, plus space for infeed and outfeed conveyors.

Suitable feed size

Designed to handle a range of parsnip sizes, typically up to 300mm in length, though this can vary by model.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, inspection of rotating blades, and lubrication of moving parts are typically required to ensure optimal performance.
