Drum-type Roller Peeling Machines

(Art. – No. 0161, 0162, 0163) 

Advantages and Disadvantages, Fields of Application

Drum-type roller peeling machines are those models of peeling machines provided with two to three meters long carborundum coated peeling rollers which rapidly rotate around worm conveyors (augers). The peeling rollers are mounted in a "ring" which, in its turn, rotates around the mentioned worm conveyor. 

We offer drum-type roller peeling machines in different sizes and capacities. The diameters of the worm conveyors (augers) are approximately 450 and 600 mm for smaller machine sizes (number of peeling rollers up to 20), and approximately 800 mm for bigger machines (number of peeling rollers up to 24). 

The machines are especially suitable for peeling small potatoes, Paris carrots and carrots of smaller size, some sorts of fruit etc. In some  cases, diced potatoes are peeled into a round shape. 

Note: 

1.   The peeling drums with the interior worm conveyors (augers) form a self-contained construction unit. Thus, the cleaning of the interior parts of the machine is not impossible, but problematic. 

2.   The machine has many moving parts like bearings and V-belts. 

3.   The peeling rollers of these machines have no profiles (sections); thus, a thorough and more aggressive peeling of bad tubers and roots or of e.g. celery or kohlrabi roots, which might become necessary, will hardly be possible or take a very long time!  

4.   When peeling, one has to add some water. The water can possibly be added to the skin mash. This does not necessarily mean that waste water is produced. – In case of problematic peeling waste one must work with full water addition. 

The machines are put onto an under-frame. According to the products to be peeled, the waste peeling (mash) is led via a chute or through a worm conveyor (auger) into a pump (or into a container).
