How Commercial Mandarin Peelers & Processors Work
Curious about these citrus wizards? Most commercial mandarin processors use a clever combination of rotating blades and rollers that delicately remove the outer peel without damaging the fruit inside. The machines typically feature adjustable settings for fruit size, ensuring proper handling of different mandarin varieties. Some models use gentle abrasion techniques with specially designed brushes, while advanced units employ water jets to assist in separating the peel from the fruit. Most processors can handle batches of 5-10kg at once, completing the job in minutes rather than the hours it would take to peel by hand!

To get the most from your mandarin processor, sort your fruit by size before loading for more uniform results. Clean the machine thoroughly after each session—citrus oils can build up and affect performance. For maximum efficiency, prepare fruit in batches rather than continuous small loads. Keep blades and rollers well-maintained with regular checks, and use the recommended cleaning solutions rather than harsh chemicals that might damage components or affect food safety.
