Industrial potato peeler
An Industrial potato peeler is of great importance when processing potatoes into a final product, like sticks and slices for example. There are several ways to peeling potatoes, each variation varying slightly from one another. Luckily, Marcelissen has several commercial potato peelers that are ideal for peeling at a high pace. All these machines are perfect for businesses in the food processing industry.
Drum knife peeler – SMT, commercial potato peeler
The Drum Knife Peeler – SMT is an industrial potato peeler consisting of three main components, namely a frame with a stable knife drum and auger. The potatoes are peeled by the knifes while being transported by the auger.
The knives are being held firm into place by AISI 304 stainless steel beams. This way, the knives are being prevented from breaking. Additionally, the beams can easily be removed or replaced. The knives are placed in such a way, that the efficiency and capacity are increased considerably. They can also be replaced quite easily, which leads to a much lower downtime. Normally, downtime takes more than a day, because every knife bar has to be taken out separately, whereas downtime on the Marcelissen Knife Peeler can be done in a matter of hours. The life-time of the machine has also increased by using stainless steel for the bearings and bearing houses.
Other advantages include:
- Suitable for repeeling steam peeled potatoes.
- During the peeling process, it is not necessary to use water.
- A special construction ensures 100% peeling, because the potatoes will be optimally rotated.

Drum Roller Peeler – SKR (industrial potato peeler)
Unlike the SMT, The SKR is a roller peeler that uses abrasive rollers constructed in a drum (instead of knives) to remove the skin from potatoes. The potatoes are being peeled carefully but thorough, because the machine moves at a low speed.
In order to obtain the best result with this professional potato peeler, a constant supply of potatoes and a proper dosing is needed. An auger transports the product to the discharge. When needed, the speed of the dives, rollers and auger can be changed by using frequency converters. Waste is discharged underneath the machine, together with the used water. However, it can be used without water as well. For a demonstration of this potato peeler industrial, please see the video below.
Throughout the years we have found ways to improve the SKR. There have been made some important changes to the construction of this automatic potato peeler.
- Changing the rollers can be done within a few minutes
- Increase of product capacity
- Noise is reduced considerably

Batch Peeler – SKB
The Batch Peeler SKB is another industrial potato peeler out of the assortment of Marcelissen. This machine differs from the previous two models, because it uses abrasive disc peeling on the potatoes. In addition, the Batch Peeler SKB is a more compact machine made for smaller capacities. It’s important that the machine receives a constant supply of potatoes in order to obtain a high quality of peeled products. See the video below for a demonstration.
By using timers, the filling-, peeling- and discharge time can be adjusted whenever needed. Just like the Drum Roller Peeler – SKR, the waste is removed underneath the machine. This can be done with or without water.
It’s important to know that the SKB 500 and SKB 600 Batch Peelers are best used for smaller capacities of potatoes (or beets/baby carrots) that will be processed further, before it becomes the final product. The SKB 800 and SKB 900 are designed for the manufacturers of potato crisps. The diameter is quite large and is therefore more suited for shortly peeling large potatoes before slicing them into crisps. The technical details of the industrial potato peeling machines are stated below.
| Type | SKB 500 | SKB 600 | SKB 800 | SKB 900 |
| Capacity | Up to 500 kg/hr* | Up to 750 kg/hr* | Up to 1000kg/hr* | Up to 2000kg/hr* |
