Product Description
The IMC VQ3.5 is a compact electric potato peeler designed for commercial kitchens where counter space is limited but consistent veg prep output is still a daily requirement. It operates on a batch basis, accepting a 3.5kg load per cycle, and is built to handle repeated use across a full service shift without complication.
This machine suits kitchens that work through a steady volume of potatoes each day but do not need a high-capacity floor-standing unit. Construction is stainless steel and cast alloy throughout, which holds up well in the wet, demanding environment of a working prep kitchen.
- Compact footprint makes it practical for smaller prep areas or tight countertop layouts
- Simple controls keep training time to a minimum and reduce the chance of operator error
- WRAS-approved Class A air break ensures compliance with current UK water regulations
- Easy to strip down and clean at the end of service, supporting good hygiene practice
- Low maintenance design reduces downtime and keeps running costs manageable
Installation is straightforward — the machine requires a standard electrical connection and a water supply with a compliant drain arrangement. This machine is well suited to smaller restaurants, pub kitchens, care homes, and similar operations where daily potato volumes are moderate.
If you are unsure whether the batch size and hourly output align with your service volumes, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The VQ3.5 works well for moderate daily volumes. If your kitchen is working through large quantities in a short prep window, a higher-capacity machine would give you a more comfortable throughput margin.
- WRAS approval with a Class A air break means the machine meets current UK water regulations for backflow prevention. You can connect it directly to your water supply without needing to install additional compliance components.
- The machine is designed to be stripped down quickly at the end of service for cleaning. The reversible peeling liners mean you can extend their working life by flipping them before replacement is needed.
