Steam peeling solutions from tna

TNA’s high-efficiency Florigo ultra-peel^{® SSC} 3 steam peeling solutions for vegetables offer processors a tailored steam peeling solution depending on their production requirements. They are engineered to provide high yield and uniform skin removal while cutting average maintenance costs by 50%.

The 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.

Split vessel designs for vegetables with high water content

tna’s new split vessel designs work for raw materials with high level of water content, such as baby carrots. They maximise the reach of the steam while keeping the product out of the water. Hence, operators have complete flexibility over steam time, pressure and vessel rotation speed.

The Florigo ultra-peel ^SSC 3 loosens the skin by exposing each item to uniformly dispersed, high-pressure steam, delivering optimum peeling efficiency and a high yield. It can reduce peel loss by 6% maximum.

The machine has 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.

“Steam peelers are the ideal solution when it comes to removing as little skin as possible and even work well on irregular shaped items,” comments Carel Pfaff, group product manager processing at tna.” However, they also often require regular replacement, resulting in considerable downtime and high maintenance costs. With our range of flexible steam peeling solutions, food processors not only achieve a highly efficient peeling performance, but will also invest in a system that offers one of the industry’s best returns on investment due to the equipment’s low maintenance requirements and overall reliability. What’s more, thanks to the unique modular design of the Florigo ultra-peel ^SCC 3, processors can easily upgrade to higher capacities should their production requirements change. Together with our high performance washing and destoning equipment, we offer a fully integrated solution from a single source.”
