Product Description
The IMC SP25 is a floor-standing electric potato peeler designed for commercial kitchen use. Mounted on a low pedestal, it handles batch loads of up to 25kg and is capable of peeling at a throughput of up to 250kg per hour. The low pedestal configuration brings the discharge point to a practical working height, making it a sensible choice where space or workflow layout calls for a lower-profile installation.
In a working kitchen environment, the SP25 suits operations that peel in volume but don't require the largest-capacity machines — smaller restaurants, pub kitchens, care homes, and school catering operations being typical examples. The carborundum liner and reversible rust-proof peeling plate hold up well under daily use, and the robust stainless steel and cast alloy construction is built to withstand the kind of repeated, heavy-handed use that commercial veg prep involves. The stainless steel lid with secure push-fit helps contain mess during the peeling cycle.
From an operational standpoint, the SP25 offers several practical advantages:
- Carborundum liner acts as a fill guide, helping operators load consistently
- Reversible rust-proof liners extend service life and reduce consumable costs
- WRAS-approved Class A air-break ensures compliance with UK water regulations
- Stainless steel and cast alloy construction cleans down quickly after service
- Low pedestal discharge height suits bench-height discharge into prep containers
Installation requires a suitable electrical supply and a cold water connection. The WRAS-approved air-break means it meets water regulations without additional fittings. The floor-standing pedestal base means it needs a stable, level floor position with adequate drainage nearby, as water is used during the peeling cycle. Access for cleaning and liner reversal should be factored into the placement decision.
The SP25 is well suited to smaller and medium-volume operations where daily peeling loads are consistent but don't justify a larger machine. For higher-volume sites — larger hotel kitchens or contract catering operations peeling significantly greater quantities — a heavier-duty model with greater batch capacity may be a better fit. If you're unsure which capacity is right for your operation, we're happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the SP25 is well matched to smaller commercial operations with daily peeling volumes that don't require a high-capacity machine. It handles up to 25kg per batch and can sustain throughput of up to 250kg per hour, which comfortably covers the prep requirements of most smaller kitchens. If your operation is peeling significantly larger volumes across a busy service day, it's worth discussing whether a higher-capacity model would give you a better return.
- The SP25 requires a mains electrical connection and a cold water supply. The machine has a WRAS-approved Class A air-break built in, so it meets UK water regulations without additional components. You'll also need a nearby floor drain, as water is used throughout the peeling cycle. The pedestal base requires a stable, level floor, and you should allow clear access around the unit for cleaning and routine maintenance.
- The SP25 is designed with practical maintenance in mind. The stainless steel and cast alloy construction wipes down readily, and the peeling liners are reversible, which extends their usable life before replacement is needed. The push-fit lid and accessible interior mean a thorough clean-down after service doesn't require specialist tools or lengthy disassembly.
