Used Sormac MS-20 Continuous Stainless Steel Knife Peeler

The Sormac knife peelers MS are suitable for continuous peeling of pre-washed or pre-peeled root products, like potatoes, red beet, celeriac, etc. The produce to be peeled is conveyed by a transport auger through a horizontal, rotating drum. The inside of this drum is equipped with a large number of knives. The dwell time and peeling effect can be controlled by varying the RPM of the drum and the speed of the transport auger. The special shape of the drum and the way the knives are positioned effectively avoids the produce from being flat peeled. The peeling waste is separated from the peeled product immediately and ejected by the rotating drum. The waste can be collected for removal in a crate or waste transporter via the waste funnel at the base of the machine.

• Capacity:  The MS-20 knife peeler has a peeling waste capacity of 600 to 700 kg per hour
  • With 40 percent waste, the input capacity is therefore 1,500 to 1,750 kg per hour
  • When polishing a pre-peeled product (waste percentage of approximately 20 percent) the input capacity is consequently between 3,000 to 3,500 kg per hour
• Product specification: washed (round) tuberous products of a diameter of between 30 and 180 mm. There must not be any stones or sand residues in or with the product
• Floating suspension for quiet and stable drum rotation, hardly any friction and few wearing parts
• The entire product surface is peeled; flat peeling is avoided
• Large drum hatch: a hatch over the full length of the drum provides easy access to the drum and the transport auger for cleaning and inspection
  • Drum length: approximately 78 inches
• Aseptic motors
• Belted discharge
• Water consumption: 0-2 cubic meters per hour
• Electrical:
  • Volts: 400
