Deskinning machines
Deskinning machines are innovative devices designed for efficiently removing skins or peels from various fruits and vegetables, enhancing food processing and reducing manual labor. They employ advanced technology to streamline the peeling process, ensuring consistent results and minimizing wastage. Deskinning machines are invaluable in commercial kitchens, food processing plants, and the catering industry, where time and precision are crucial.
Deskinning machines remove the skin or outer layer of fruits and vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and onions. They work by combining mechanical, abrasive and water-based methods to strip the skin away, leaving the flesh or inner layer of the produce intact for downstream cutting, pulping or packing.
For a processing plant, the case for deskinning equipment rests on four things: increased efficiency and productivity, consistent peeling and deskinning quality, reduced labour costs and fewer labour-intensive tasks, and reduced product waste. Because the machines are designed to be easy to clean and sanitise, they also support improved hygiene and sanitation in the preparation area.
Application ranges across common fruit and vegetable lines. Potatoes and carrots are deskinned before being cut and processed into various forms. Onions have their outer layer peeled so they are easier to handle and process into diced, sliced or chopped product. Apples are deskinned so the flesh can go on to slicing or juicing. Tomatoes and mango are deskinned to ease processing into sauces, soups and other tomato-based products, and kiwi fruits have their hairy outer layer removed to make them more visually appealing and easier to handle.
