PEELERS
by Ryan Atkinson
Commissaries and central kitchens
routinely need a large amount
of potatoes and other vegetables
ready for chopping, cooking, packaging and more. To help in labor
savings and cost, facilities can turn
to peeling equipment to take care
of perhaps the most troublesome
portion of the process.
Today's peelers not only process large amounts of vegetables,
but they do so while minimizing
waste and showcasing ﬂexibility.
"Our role is to help facilities
reduce the volume of vegetables
they have to bring into play to get
the high-value, high-quality and
safe food that can be taken to
the supermarket," says Eammon
Cullen, market unit manager for
Tomra, headquartered in Norway.

Unexpected impact

TOMRA

Cullen says his company's Eco
Steam Peelers have handled
changes in produce from an
unexpected source.
"Climate change is impacting the growing conditions of

the vegetables," he says. "The
quality of the vegetables coming
from the ground is varying quite
signiﬁcantly."
In some cases, he says,
growing conditions are pristine -
sufficient rain during the season
without temperatures that rise
too much.
"Then you might have very
large vegetables," Cullen says.
"Then you have to be able to process big pieces, like two-pound
potatoes."
The other side comes when
growing conditions are poor and
the size variation is small.
"There is a big diversity in the
raw materials that are coming from the ground," he says.
"Processors are trying to achieve
a higher volume of vegetable, but
if the weather changes signiﬁcantly, they're just unable to
do that."
Cullen says another factor
impacts the product that producers bring into their facilities for
processing.

Tomra's peelers use steam to remove the outer layer of fruits
and vegetables.
