Potato Washing and Peeling Machine

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction

A potato washing and peeling machine removes soil, stones and skin from raw potatoes before they are sliced or cooked. It is the first step in chip, french fry, flake and starch processing, and a good washing and peeling result directly improves product color, taste and safety.

Two main systems are used. A brush washer or drum washer cleans the surface using water and rotating brushes, while an abrasive roller peeler or steam peeler removes the skin. Roller peelers use carborundum rollers and suit small to medium sizes, while steam peelers are used in large plants.

The machine can be a stand-alone unit or part of a full line with elevators, sorting tables, trimming conveyors and slicers. It also works with sweet potato, cassava, carrot, taro and other root crops.

Application

Suitable for potato chip, french fry, mashed potato, flake, starch and prepared vegetable plants. It can also process sweet potato, cassava, yam, carrot, beet and taro.

Central kitchens and food service suppliers that process large volumes of root vegetables use it to reduce labor and improve hygiene.

Advantages

Efficient cleaning removes soil and stones before they reach slicers and fryers.
Adjustable peeling time controls skin removal and reduces loss.
Water saving with recirculation and filtration.
Gentle handling reduces damage on soft or irregular potatoes.
Wide crop range for various root and tuber vegetables.
Easy cleaning with open design and stainless steel parts.

Payment and Shipping

Standard payment terms are 30 percent deposit by T/T before production and 70 percent balance before shipment, with L/C at sight also accepted for larger orders. A formal quotation, technical agreement and layout drawing are confirmed before the deposit is made, so both sides have the same specification on record.

Production lead time is generally 25 to 45 days, depending on configuration and order volume. Washer and peeler combinations are confirmed against the buyer's raw material size and capacity target. Equipment is shipped by sea freight in standard 20ft or 40ft containers for most overseas orders, with export wooden crating, anti-rust treatment and moisture protection as standard. Air freight can be arranged for urgent spare parts.

Documents supplied with each shipment include commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and an English operation manual with wiring diagrams. Remote commissioning support is available after delivery, and on-site installation can be arranged on request.

FAQ

Q: Which is better, a brush peeler or a steam peeler?
A: Brush and abrasive roller peelers are low in cost and suit most small and medium plants. Steam peelers suit large continuous plants and give higher yield.

Q: How much loss should I expect from peeling?
A: Typically 8 to 15 percent, depending on potato shape, skin condition and peeling time.

Q: Can the machine remove stones?
A: A destoner or washing stage can be added before peeling.

Q: Can it peel sweet potato or cassava?
A: Yes. Roller settings and peeling time can be adjusted.

Q: How much water does it need?
A: Usage depends on capacity, and a water recycling tank reduces consumption.

Q: Can I connect it to a slicer and fryer?
A: Yes. Elevators and inspection conveyors are available for a full line.
