The Sormac
knife peelers MS are suitable for continuous peeling of pre-washed or
pre-peeled root products, like potatoes, red beet, celery root etc. The produce
to be peeled is conveyed by a transport auger through a horizontal, rotating
drum. The inside of this drum is equipped with a large number of knives. The
dwell time and peeling effect can be controlled by varying the RPM of the drum
and the speed of the transport auger. The special shape of the drum and the way
the knives are positioned effectively avoids the produce from being flat
peeled. The peeling waste is separated from the peeled product immediately and
ejected by the rotating drum. The waste can be collected for removal in a crate
or waste transporter via the waste funnel at the base of the machine.
The produce
diameter should be between 30 and 180 mm and the vegetables must be free of
stones
The machine
consists of a stable housing in a frame, the peeling drum and a transport
auger. In line with the patented Sormac system, the drum is suspended on both
sides in 3 V-belts, and is driven by just 2 motors. The spray nozzles on the
outer circumference of the transport auger allow wet peeling if required. There
is a large cleaning hatch on two sides of the drum, so the inside of the drum
and the conveying auger can be inspected and cleaned easily. The efficient
drive and peeling methods means the energy consumption is very low
