Tomra Sorting introduce new Eco Steam Peeler
The new Eco technology changes the nature of the steam peeling process from fixed steam supply to a new controlled steam management system, using new vessel design, new advanced pressure transmitter arrangement and new process automation. The result is a substantial improvement in processing efficiency and major savings in steam.
The new Eco steam peeler also includes a new steam peeling vessel design with the Odenberg patented design features. The new high pressure vessel includes an innovative product mixing design that enables rapid heat transfer from the steam to the surface of the potatoes. The vessel is also equipped with a new unique parallel motion vessel door. These new design features allow for even better process control and shorter steam peeling times.
The addition of a completely new process sequence and a new automatic batch control program, enables the steam peeler to peel batches faster than before. The Eco steam peeler will be the new standard for steam peeling products for the future.
Steam valve technology is another crucial part of the process. The Odenberg XPT valve that was launched in 2012, has demonstrated real savings in this area and continues to outperform other valves on the market. The XPT valve is a “T” valve that uses a unique design of spindle and seat to achieve long lifetime of internal parts and lower customer’s maintenance costs. The XPT valve is available for both the Eco and the Orbit steam peelers.
The new Eco Steam Peeler has a major focus on processors who process 15,000 kg/hr and above.
