Abrasive peeler questions
How does an abrasive roller peeler work?
A screw moves product along a bed of abrasive-coated rollers. Each roller has its own drive, so roller speed and dwell time can be set for the product, while spray nozzles wash the peel off the rollers.
Steam or abrasive?
Abrasive peeling needs no pressure vessel or large steam supply and suits smaller lines, onions and mixed products. Steam peeling is preferred at higher throughput and where peel loss drives the economics. See steam vs abrasive peeling.
What happens to the peel water?
A filtration system can be added to separate peel solids from the spray water so water is re-used and waste is easier to handle.
Which products can it peel?
Potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, celeriac and other root crops, onions, and citrus where outer peel is removed before juicing.
Need a peeler for a smaller line?
Send the product, hourly volume and how it is used. We recommend steam or abrasive and size the machine.
