Overview
Clean and gentle peeling and washing of tuber vegetables
The potato peeling machine PL 40K is the proven basic model for peeling and washing potatoes, carrots, beetroot, cabbage turnips (kohlrabi) and other root vegetables in small and medium-sized enterprises.
The standard equipment with an abrasive system enables paper-thin, gentle removal of the peel. The entire cycle of filling, peeling and emptying takes approximately 2–3 minutes.
The PL 40K offers the possibility of switching from the peeling function to a pure washing function in a few simple steps. By replacing the carborundum peeling insert with a rubber-coated insert, the peeling machine can be transformed into a practical washing machine for tuber vegetables within three minutes.
The filling and peeling process can be controlled centrally by means of an automatic control system (optional). The PL 40K can therefore be ideally integrated into complete processing lines for the washing, peeling and cutting/dicing of root vegetables.

Highlights
Washing and peeling in one step
A gentle water spray from above washes the products during peeling and rinses off the carborundum layer.
Gentle abrasive peeling and only low pressure on the product
The large inner diameter ensures gentle peeling and low pressure on the product.
In accordance with the different product requirements, the carborundum systems are available in several grain sizes from coarse to very fine.
Optimal hygiene thanks to quick peeling basket replacement
The peeling basket and peeling disk can be removed and installed in less than three minutes. In combination with the rounded base and smooth surfaces of the peeling machine, this allows effective and fast cleaning. The robust stainless steel construction and reliable mechanism make the PL 40K ideal for long periods of maintenance-free use.
Conversion from a peeling machine to a tuber vegetable washing machine
The carborundum peeling system (basket and disc) can be quickly and easily replaced with a rubber stud insert. This allows the peeling machine to be converted into the perfect washing machine for tuber vegetables in less than three minutes.
Automatic timer
The automatic timer is used to program the peeling time, which is infinitely adjustable from 1–10 minutes.
Automatic control for the optimal filling and emptying process
The filling and emptying control offers high automation potential. This automatic function serves to control the peeling and washing time, product feed and product discharge.
The PL 40K potato peeling machine can be optimally integrated into complete processing lines.
