The
Combined DORNOW "Step-by-Step" Carborundum -
Blade
Peeling Systems SBS - KM, Working in Steps -
for
the Production of Peeled Potatoes for the
Catering
Industry
(Abridged designation: SBS- KM - plant)
Introduction:
In
large-scale production plants a DORNOW roller peeling
machine will be used as carborundum pre-peeling machine.
For
factories with smaller or medium throughputs the solution
described here appears to be appropriate: The combined
carborundum and blade peeling in one
plant, in the DORNOW "step-by-step" carborundum
and blade peeling system (K = carborundum peeling, M = blade
peeling).
Capacities
of the SBS-KM-plant (in kg/hr of final produce, approximate
values):
(When
using potatoes from medium to big sorting sizes)
| SBS-KM-II: | 300 - 400, | with 1 x peeling unit 20 K-AT-OS and |
| with 1 x peeling unit 20 M-AT-OS. | ||
| SBS-KM III: | 450 - 600, | with 1 x 20 K-AT-OS and |
| with 2 x 20 M-AT-OS. |

Special features of the SBS-KM-plants:
| - |
The "step-by-step" carborundum blade peeling system may consist of one peeling unit of the type "20 K-AT-OS" and one or two peeling units "20 M-AT-OS". Throughputs: as cited above in kg/hr of finished produce. |
| - |
During the first stage of investment you can start production by means of the combined peeling units "20-K-AT-OS" and "20 M-AT-OS", with the idea of completing the plant later by adding a further peeling unit ("20 M-AT-OS"). Thus, the throughput will be enhanced to 500 - 600 kg/hr of finished produce. |
| - |
The machines are, as a rule, put on platforms. For two reasons: 1. The ready-peeled potatoes can, this way, drop directly into a storage bin or on an inspection table. 2. The peel waste, even from three peeling units, can fall directly into the collecting bin of a pump or of a conveying device. The discharge height of the last peeling unit will be adjusted according to the investor's requirements. |
| - |
The peeling can be carried out either totally dry or in atomised water. This way of processing does not necessarily produce waste water. A very small quantity of water results from atomisation and "disappears" in the waste peel. |
| - |
There is very little floor space required. The erection of the machines can, for instance, be arranged in a way that their sides form a right angle. Normally they will be put up in a line. |
| - | The potatoes leave the machine as though they had been peeled by hand. |
| - | The inefficient "flat peeling" occurring in many other machines will be avoided. |
| - | The peeling units are constructed in a way that guarantees a controlled and continuous peeling. |
| - | The construction is very sturdy and permits easy maintenance. Few spare parts required. Simple technology. |
| - | The blades are made of strong blade steel. |
| - |
Provided the machinery is properly adjusted, the use of the blade peeling units need not necessarily lead to a higher waste rate, with the carborundum peeling unit taking off correspondingly less material. |
| - |
The plant includes a precisely working weighing and dosing device. This has to be purchased only once, even if further peeling units will be added later. |
| - | To operate the plant, compressed air, i. e. a compressor is required. |
| - | By exchanging the peeling elements, the carborundum peeling unit can easily be transformed into a blade peeling unit (or vice versa). |
| - |
If higher throughputs should be required later, a DORNOW roller peeling machine (working as pre-peeler) can be purchased. In this case, the SBS-KM-plant described here can be used as a pure blade re-peeling system. |
Résumé:
| - | plain technique | - | controlled peeling |
| - | robust construction | - | continuous and smooth peeling |
| - | low wear and tear | - | little waste |
| - | low maintenance | - | quality like peeled by hand |
| - | can be extended | - | no waste water |
| - | high capacities | - | does not require much floor space |
| - | no "flat peeling" |
