Potato & Vegetable Peelers

Commercial potato peelers and vegetable preparation equipment are essential time-savers for busy UK restaurants, hotels, and catering operations handling high volumes daily. With capacities ranging from 5kg to 20kg and built from robust stainless steel, these workhorses can peel a full load in just 2-3 minutes—transforming what would be hours of manual labor into mere moments. After 50 years supplying professional kitchens, we've seen how these machines pair brilliantly with food processors and commercial mixers to create a complete prep station. For any establishment serving fresh chips, mash, or vegetable dishes, these peelers aren't just convenient—they're absolutely crucial for consistent quality and operational efficiency.

How Commercial Potato & Vegetable Peelers Work

These clever machines operate using a remarkably simple yet effective principle. A rotating abrasive plate or drum spins at the bottom of the unit while water continuously flows through. As your potatoes or root vegetables tumble inside, the rough surface gently removes the skin through friction—much like rubbing with sandpaper, but far quicker! Most units operate between 250-400W, providing enough power to handle tough root vegetables while water flushes away the peelings. The abrasive action works its magic in circular motions, ensuring uniform peeling without excessive waste. In just 2-3 minutes, you'll have perfectly peeled vegetables ready for the next stage of preparation!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Potato & Vegetable Peelers

For optimal performance, always load your machine to the recommended capacity—overloading leads to uneven results, while underloading wastes water and energy. Clean the abrasive plate or drum daily to maintain peeling efficiency, and check the water filters regularly to prevent blockages. Try pre-soaking particularly dirty root vegetables before peeling for better results, and remember that different vegetables require different timer settings—carrots and turnips typically need less time than potatoes.

Real-World Success with Commercial Potato & Vegetable Peelers

The Castle Inn, a bustling gastro pub in Yorkshire, illustrates the dramatic impact our commercial peelers deliver.
