SAMMIC PES-20 Peeler and Salad Spinner for Professional Kitchens

A commercial peeler and salad spinner combines two essential steps in one unit: removing excess water from leafy greens and vegetables after washing, and peeling root vegetables when needed. The process relies on centrifugal force generated by a high-speed rotating basket. As the basket spins, water is flung outward through perforations in the basket walls, separating it from the produce. This method dries ingredients faster and more thoroughly than manual shaking or patting, reducing preparation time and improving salad quality by preventing soggy textures.

The operator loads the washed produce into the stainless steel drying basket, ensuring the load is evenly distributed. The transparent lid is closed, and the machine is started. The unique Vibration Control System automatically checks the load balance before the basket reaches full speed, preventing uneven spinning that could damage the motor or produce. Once the cycle completes, the lid opens automatically via a self-opening mechanism, and the dried or peeled ingredients are removed. A safety device prevents the machine from operating with the lid open, protecting kitchen staff during use.

Constructed from highest quality stainless steel, the body and basket resist corrosion and withstand frequent cleaning. The transparent, heavy-duty lid allows operators to monitor the process without stopping the machine. A filter with a no-foam feature prevents suds from escaping during operation, keeping the workspace clean.

The 0.55 kW three-phase motor is designed to connect to a single-phase electrical supply, making it suitable for professional kitchens with standard power setups. The 400 V voltage requirement indicates the unit is intended for commercial electrical circuits, ensuring consistent performance under continuous use. Weighing 39 kg, the unit is stable on worktops but may require two people to move safely. Its footprint of 433 mm depth, 635 mm width, and 786 mm height fits into most kitchen layouts without occupying excessive space.

Cleaning involves removing the drying basket and washing it separately, while the stainless steel body can be wiped down with a damp cloth. The filter should be checked regularly to ensure it remains free of debris and foam build-up. The no-foam feature reduces maintenance by minimising residue during operation.

The PES-20 is a standalone unit with no additional variants listed. It is placed in the catalogue under commercial food preparation equipment, specifically for vegetable processing and salad preparation.
