Rosenqvists Upgrades Batch Peeler to Boost Efficiency and Quality in Potato Chip Production
Rosenqvists Food Technologies has introduced an enhanced version of its batch peeler, designed to offer greater control, reliability, and operational efficiency for potato chip manufacturers.
The company said the latest iteration refines key elements of the machine’s design to ensure consistent peeling results and easier maintenance. Adjustable parameters such as batch weight, speed, and peeling time allow operators to tailor the process to potato quality and production requirements. The drum and bottom disk, both optimized for uniform performance, can be quickly accessed and replaced via a simplified opening mechanism.
For processors with higher capacity needs, Rosenqvists’ twin batch peeler supports production rates of 750–1,250 kg of finished potato chips per hour, depending on potato quality. The system targets medium- to large-scale operations where throughput and precision are equally critical.
The latest upgrades include an optimized outfeed design to handle larger potatoes, a new outfeed angle for smoother transfer to the screw conveyor, and improved access to valves for faster maintenance. Additional improvements feature a new inspection lid for quick visual checks, a flexible water supply compatible with both recycled and fresh water, and a redesigned chute beneath the batch weigher to minimize drop height and product damage.
“We’re excited to bring these improvements to our clients, helping them achieve better peeler efficiency, reduced downtime and enhanced product quality,” said Mikael Larsson, Design Engineer at Rosenqvists Food Technologies.
