What Is a Potato Peeler?
A potato peeler is a machine designed to automatically peel a large quantity of potatoes.
Commonly used in school and institutional kitchens, these machines typically operate by peeling the skin through an internal peeler and flowing water. A propeller-shaped peeler rotates, gradually removing the potato skin, and the water flow generated by the rotation helps remove the skin.
In larger-scale machines used in food factories, wastewater treatment issues can arise due to water drainage. Therefore, there is a preference for dry potato peelers. These are often equipped with drum-shaped peelers covered in holes which shave off the potato skin, resulting in a smooth finish.
