Potato Peelers
Commercial potato peelers are absolute game-changers for UK restaurants, chip shops, and busy kitchens needing to process mountains of spuds without the faff. These robust machines strip potatoes clean in seconds, handling 5-20kg loads depending on the model, with powerful motors designed for continuous operation. The beauty is in their simplicity—load, set, and crack on with other prep while the machine does the hard graft. After 50 years kitting out professional kitchens, we've seen how these workhorses pair brilliantly with commercial fryers and prep tables, saving countless hours of tedious manual peeling. They're essential kit for any venue where potatoes feature prominently on the menu!

How Commercial Potato Peelers Work
Ever wondered how these clever machines make light work of spuds? Commercial potato peelers use a rotating abrasive disc or drum lined with carborundum—essentially, an extremely rough surface. When you load potatoes and water into the chamber and switch on, the spuds tumble against this rough lining, which gently but effectively scrapes away the skin. Most models feature powerful 0.37-1.5kW motors that maintain consistent speed even under full loads. The peeled skins wash away through a waste outlet, leaving you with perfectly prepped potatoes in just 2-3 minutes. It's like having a dedicated prep chef working tirelessly in the background!

- Power Off Always switch off before loading/unloading—avoids injury.
- Water Supply Ensure water is flowing before starting—prevents motor damage.
- Clean Hands Keep hands dry when operating electrical controls—prevents shocks.
- Floor Safety Manage water spillage—prevents slipping hazards.
- Electrical Safety Regular inspection of cables and plugs—keeps team safe.
Top Tips for Using Commercial Potato Peelers
For optimal performance, always rinse potatoes before loading to remove excess dirt that might clog the waste outlet. Don't overload beyond the stated capacity—this ensures proper tumbling action for even peeling. Clean the abrasive lining daily to maintain efficiency, and regularly check the waste filter to prevent blockages. For vegetables with thinner skins like carrots, reduce the cycle time to avoid excessive waste. Pair with a good quality vegetable preparation machine for a complete prep station.
