Steam Peeling is the most efficient method of removing skin from potatoes, vegetables and fruits. Steam Peeler System – Model DANA- is designed in a number of sizes depending on capacity. Product: Potatoes, carrots, and other root vegetables. Capacity: Up to 10 t/h input raw material based on potatoes, corresponding to approx. 7.5-8 t/h finished product (depends on the quality of the raw material) with a steam exposure time of 20 seconds. Steam peeler type: Steam Peeler Model 600 DANA Please note that the mentioned capacity is based on potatoes, and with a steam exposure time of 20 seconds the potatoes must be of a fairly good quality, i.e. at the end of the season it will be difficult to reach the highest output of final product. The same conditions will apply for other root vegetables. Operation: • From the bulk screw elevator a pre-set product quantity is discharged into the steam pressure vessel. • The pressure vessel is made of mild steel and mounted on two reinforced shafts welded onto it. One shaft is hollow for steam injection into vessel as well as for steam release to exhaust pipe vessel. • The door is hinged to avoid direct product contact with closing mechanism. Door control by pneumatic cylinder mounted on the outside. • The door inside the vessel ensures minimum wear and tear of gaskets etc. caused by dirt, peels, etc. Consequently, the unit has proven to imply very low main­tenance and servicing costs. • The pressure vessel is rotated, the door automatically opened, and the product is discharged into the accumulation discharge screw hopper feeding the line.
