How do you use a potato peeling machine?
Fill the reservoir of the potato peeling machine with the vegetables you want to prepare. With potatoes, its wise not to put them in straight from the bag, but first to wash and remove any dirt. With carrots, take off the foliage. Observe the maximum capacity of the machine: this is up to where the sanding wall turns into the smooth material. Place the lid on the machine and secure it with the safety latches on the side. Connect the water supply, so that the peels come off more easily.
Now you just need to turn on the machine. After two or three minutes, the machine will be finished. Then turn the machine off and open the hatch at the front to collect the peeled vegetables.
You can also use a peeling machine for other vegetables, such as: beets, turnip, ginger, carrots and celeriac.
What should you consider when buying a potato peeling machine?
When buying a potato peeling machine, first look at the capacity you need. How many potatoes or carrots do you use per hour? The capacity of these machines is indicated in kilogrammes and ranges from eight to thirty kilogrammes. Generally, you can run the machine for approximately twenty cycles per hour. So, with an eight kilo capacity, you can scrape as much as 160kg per hour.
Keep in mind that the larger models also take up more space. Maxima also offers the more ‘deluxe’ models. These have a control panel with a separate start and stop button, and an output button to eject the vegetables from the machine. In addition, a deluxe model also has a convenient timer that allows it to automatically stop after the set time.
Finally, it is good to look at the weight of the machines. They weigh between 42kg and 80kg so they are not easy to move. Thanks to the sturdy rubber feet, you don't have to worry about them moving around during use.
There are many kinds of appliances that can also help with food processing available at Maxima. Have a look at our food processors and for a few examples.
