Automatic Potato Steam Peeling Machine

Automatic Potato Steam Peeling Machine is a modern peeling equipment, which relies on high pressure steam and a physical peeling process to remove the peel of the potato with minimal peeling losses. The potatoes enter the pressurized chamber of the steam peeler via a feeding conveyor belt. High-temperature and high-pressure steam is quickly released to evenly coat the surface of the potatoes. The steam causes the potato skin to soften and separate from the inner flesh in a short period. When the pressure is released, the skin breaks down due to expansion and the separated skin is then removed by rotating drums or water jets, resulting in clean potatoes. This process is not only efficient, but also minimizes potato waste. Automatic Steam Peeler Machine is widely used in the processing of potatoes, sweet potatoes, beetroot, carrot and other tuberous foods. Because of high efficiency and environmental friendliness, steam peelers are becoming an important tool in the food processing industry. Lonkia steam peelers, in particular, provide a reliable solution for the potato processing industry with excellent performance and innovative technology. Industrial steam peelers in the food industry are used in the production of peeled potatoes, French fries, potato slices, potato cubes, etc.

Working Principle of Potato Steam Peeling Machine

1. The potato product is filled into a pressure container. The pressure vessel is then automatically closed and steam of up to e.g., 16 bar (approx. 200° C) is let in. Due to the high temperature, the water under the bowl wants to boil, i.e., turn into steam, but is prevented from doing so by the 16 bar counter pressure.
2. After a preset steam time of approx. 30 – 60 seconds (depending on the product), the steam supply is stopped, and the steam pressure is released in a flash (relaxed) by opening a release valve. This means that the water under the peel is able to turn into steam and, as it expands, it separates the peel from the fruit.
3. the potato peels are completely removed. A following brusher and a washing machine clean the potatoes so that all peel residues are removed.
4. The softened shell is then removed by brushing in a peeling brush machine and a washing machine is used to ensure that all shell residues are rinsed clean.

Advantages of the Potato steam peeler

• Energy efficient: The steam peeling machine reduces energy consumption by optimizing steam utilization, while ensuring fast and uniform peeling of potatoes. Its advanced automation design also reduces production cycles and increases yields.
• Low wastage: The potato steam peeler design ensures that the high pressure steam is evenly distributed so that the skin of each potato can be softened and removed uniformly. This precise treatment reduces the loss of potato flesh and lowers processing costs. The steam peeler is therefore one of the essential pieces of equipment in the French fries potato chips line.
• Easy to clean and maintain: steam peelers are designed in all stainless steel for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. The modular structure makes maintenance quick and easy, thus reducing equipment downtime.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for peeling potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, etc.Now it is widely in food industry and beverage industry, like french fries, snack food, fruit juice beverage etc.
• Eco-Friendly: Uses steam, reducing the need for chemicals and minimizing environmental impact.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials for long-lasting performance.
