New carrot peeling machine introduced by Sormac

Sormac proudly introduces the latest carrot peeling machine: UP-8000. Developed in close collaboration with Hepro GmbH from Germany, this is a good example of looking ahead and anticipating the customer's wishes. A brief introduction to the big brother of the KP-60/HS:

Knife peeling, as the UP-8000 does, is a popular alternative to abrasive peeling with its emphasis on grating the carrots. This latest knife peeler has the advantage that it effortlessly and extremely flexibly follows the shape of the carrot. This flexibility allows accurate peeling of even irregularly shaped carrots. The UP-8000 guarantees continuity in the production flow and guarantees a reliable, very high net capacity compared to its predecessor.

The new UP-8000 has the following specific features:
• High capacity: 1,500 kg/hour
• High reliability;
• Carrots do not need to be orientated;
• Machine does not use compressed air;
• Peel waste percentage only 17% (depending on the weight of the carrot);
• Dry peeling waste;
• Smoothly peeled carrot looks attractive;
• Low susceptibility to white colouration of the carrot;
• Low energy consumption.

Sormac’s aim, is the perfect customized solution, with the focus on the customer. Being able to respond directly to the specific need in the global market, the knife peeler UP-8000 guarantees an optimal production process with a high net capacity. This innovation will be introduced to the public for the first time at the FRUIT LOGISTICA trade fair in Berlin (5-7 February 2014, hall 3.1 stand C-17).
