Potato Peeling Machine FIMAR PPF/10M

A potato peeler machine removes skins from root vegetables by tumbling them against an abrasive surface. The drum rotates, pressing the potatoes against a coarse disc while a steady stream of water washes away the loosened peel. This method leaves the flesh intact and reduces manual labour compared to hand peeling, making it practical for large batches in professional kitchens.

To operate the FIMAR PPF/10M, load up to 10 kg of potatoes through the transparent polycarbonate lid. Close the lid to engage the security microswitch, then set the timer for the desired peeling duration between 0 and 4 minutes. Start the machine; the drum will rotate, and the automatic water jet will rinse the contents continuously. Once the timer elapses, press the unloading button to release the peeled potatoes into a waiting container.

The machine is built with a stainless steel body for durability and hygiene. The transparent lid allows operators to monitor the process without opening the drum. A removable abrasive disc (PTA type) is included, designed for loads of 5 to 18 kg, and a tray (CI) is provided for collecting the peeled vegetables. The PPF/10M does not include a lateral abrasive, which is fitted only in the PPN-PPF/25 model.

The 0.75 kW motor runs on either 230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase power, accommodating standard kitchen electrical supplies. The machine's footprint of 830 x 530 mm fits on most worktops, while its 36 kg weight ensures stability during operation. The 10 kg capacity allows for consistent batches, reducing the need for repeated loading in high-demand settings.

Cleaning is straightforward: the automatic water jet flushes the drum during operation, and the removable abrasive disc and tray can be taken out for thorough washing. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and simplifies sanitisation.

The PPF/10M is categorised as a medium-capacity vegetable preparation machine, suitable for restaurants, catering services, and institutional kitchens where efficiency and consistency are essential.
