Carrot peeler Orbit series

potatopumpkinvegetable

Overview
The ORBIT steam peeler by TOMRA processes a wide variety of vegetables using minimal steam while supporting variable steam pressures to optimise resource use and throughput.

Key benefits

• Consistent peeling quality across a broad capacity range (approx. 1,000–50,000 kg/h).
• Efficient operation at low or high steam pressures to reduce steam consumption.
• Fast cycle times and gentle product handling to minimise peel loss.
• Sensor-driven monitoring optimises each batch for shortest steam time and lowest waste.

Technology highlights

• Patented vessel lifters rotate batches to ensure quick, uniform heat treatment of the skin.
• Embedded sensors in the vessel provide real-time feedback to the control system for process optimisation.
• Operator interface allows recipe adjustment, process control and production-volume management.
• Design focused on minimising steam use and operational costs.

Applications

• Industrial peeling of pumpkins, butternut, potatoes, carrots and baby carrots.
• Adaptable to small, medium and very large throughput lines.

Product details

• Uniform peeling performance over different capacities and configurations.
• Built on TOMRA experience for reliable peeling performance and operational savings.
