tna Florigo ultra-peel SSC 3 steam peeling

tna has expanded its range of Florigo ultra-peel SSC 3 steam peeling solutions for potatoes, baby carrots and other vegetables to offer processors tailored steam peeling depending on their individual production requirements. The three different steam vessel designs are engineered to deliver high peel efficiency, high yield and uniform skin removal, while cutting average maintenance costs by 50%.

The product’s portfolio includes high-capacity steam peelers for large root vegetables like potatoes for French fries and vessels with centrally controlled steam inlets for smaller, irregular-shaped produce to enable uniform steam coverage. The company now also offers split vessel designs for raw materials with high level of water content, such as baby carrots. These maximise the reach of the steam while keeping the product out of the water. Each steam peeling solution offers operators complete flexibility over steam time, pressure and vessel rotation speed to further optimise the peeling process for each product.

With the capacity to reduce peel loss to a maximum of 6% depending on the raw material, the peelers loosen the skin by exposing each item to uniformly dispersed, high-pressure steam, delivering optimum peeling efficiency and a high yield. Suitable for any root vegetable, the product features a robust, hygienic design with very few wearing parts that can be easily accessed, reducing the industry’s average maintenance costs by 50% with the potential to double the vessel’s lifespan, according to the company.

The modular design means processors can easily upgrade to higher capacities should their production requirements change.

The range can process between 7 and 52 tonnes of potatoes per hour and can be combined with the Florigo ultrapeel OC 3 cyclone destoner, Florigo ultra-clean WT 3 drum washer and Florigo ultra-peel COMBO 3.
