Rating of the best industrial peelers for 2022

An industrial vegetable 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 scope of professional automatic vegetable peeling machines and the ability to process a large volume of products contribute to an increase in the popularity of models of such equipment.

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

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

Peeler device

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

The control and launch of the device is carried out by acting on the buttons of the remote control. After the products are loaded into the device, the case is closed with a lid (usually transparent). A sprinkler is connected to it, which washes away the remains 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 the participation of an operator (except for setting up, loading and unloading products). To remove the peel, special sharp knives or an abrasive surface are used.

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

After removing the skin, the vegetables are washed with water and transferred to a container, from where they can be removed for further processing. Water with the remains of the peel goes directly into 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. Clean water is supplied automatically from the tap.

The user does not need to control the device, it works completely automatically. Consumables for the device are not required, maintenance consists in the periodic replacement or restoration of abrasive discs. The second option is preferable because it costs an order of magnitude cheaper than a complete replacement. Regardless of the installation location (floor or desktop), it is recommended to foresee the possibility of connecting the device to the water supply and sewerage.

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

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

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

How to choose the best vegetable peeler and what to look for

The main criteria for choosing a unit are the power declared by the manufacturer, the load volume and performance.

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

The load volume shows how many root crops can be placed in the working chamber at a time. Popular and most often bought models on average contain 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 or more.

In order not to make mistakes when choosing a machine, it is important to know in advance the dimensions of the place where 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 a table. In addition to installation difficulties, these parameters affect the transportation of the product from the store.

Other important selection criteria are:

• the presence of additional removable disks designed for cleaning seafood and fruits;
• the amount of marriage 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 the root crops;
• material of manufacture - according to buyers, it is best to pay attention to models with a stainless steel hopper (they are not subject to rust, they do not oxidize if mechanically damaged);
• the presence of a transparent cover is not necessary, but desirable - it allows you to observe the purification process and stop it at the right time;
• if you have problems with sewer clogging, we recommend choosing devices with a mesh filter that traps large waste and prevents blockages;
• an electronic display with a timer will be an additional plus, it allows the operator to leave 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

When first evaluating the market for industrial peelers, you can get confused about what they are and what products they are used for. Most of these devices have a universal purpose, and can be used not only to peel potatoes, but also vegetables of similar 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 vegetable peeler, we recommend focusing not only on how much it costs, but also on such parameters as the volume of a single load, power, performance and the presence of a timer.

If you are constrained by free cash, 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, is only in design, as well as technical performance.

We hope that our article will help you make the right choice and buy a vegetable peeler with the best value for money, quality and reliability.
