RC "WATERLESS" Peeler & Scrubber

The RC series Peeler and Scrubber cleans and peels your products without the use of water. conventional peelers and scrubbers require tremendous amounts of water for cleaning their abrasive rolls. The RC series accomplishes the peeling of the product without any water through the use of high speed brushes in a cage revolving at high speed thus creating the centrifugal force necessary to peel the product and eliminate the waste. The RC Peeler improves your yield by simply brushing the peel away and will reduce your water and related water treatment costs since none is used. For example, customers have seen their peel loss numbers reduced by nearly one-half after the introduction of the RC Peeler in a potato chip plant. Canning plants have seen yield increases, (based upon case yield/ton) in beet, carrot and potato applications from 8 to over 15%.

RC Peelers have been successfully applied on the following products:
