| The PIONEER PEELER was
designed to achive the above objectives and as a result gives up to 600 Kgs. per hour of
expertly peeled potatoes and carrots with an average waste factor of 10 to 12%. The disk is not flat but specially designed with two tapered
deflectors in order to give an even distribution of the abrasive action over the whole
surface of the potatoes or carrots. It follows the contours of the potatoes or carrots
thus avoiding the excessive waste encountered with other methods of peeling. The amount of
waste material is therefore greatly reduced and is instantly disposed of by a jet of
water. When the operation is compleated, the disk can be easily removed and cleaned. Fixed
disk machines do not have this facility and therefore it can be claimed that the PIONEER
offers a more hygienic approach. |
