Why this potato peeler earns its place
Peeling by hand is the job that quietly eats a prep shift. One person, a bowl, a sack of potatoes and most of a morning gone before anything else starts. A machine like the PP-6 turns that into a loading job: fill the chamber, set the run, walk away and come back to peeled veg. The abrasive lining on the base plate and the chamber walls does the work, scouring the skin off rather than cutting it, so there is no blade in the chamber to sharpen, set or replace, and no knife skill involved in getting an even result.
The 0-6 minute timer is the control that matters. Peeling time is yield: a short run leaves skin on and someone finishes the job by hand, a long one takes good potato off with the skin and you have paid for weight that goes down the drain. Once you know the run time for the veg you buy, the timer repeats it exactly, whoever is on prep that day. The on/off push buttons sit on an integral panel on the machine itself, so the controls are where the operator is standing rather than on a box somewhere behind them.
The body is cast aluminium, grey, which is a machine built to sit in a wet prep area and get hosed round rather than nursed. One thing to plan for before delivery day: the PP-6 is supplied without a plug, so a qualified person needs to fit the plug of your choice on site before it can be run.
