The Sammic PP-12+ is a batch-style commercial potato peeler designed to remove the manual effort from daily vegetable preparation. Potatoes are loaded into the aluminium chamber, where abrasive-lined walls and a rotating base plate work away the skins during the cycle. Once the built-in timer completes, the peeled product is discharged and the machine is ready for the next load. The design is intentionally straightforward — consistent, repeatable results with minimal operator involvement.
In a working kitchen, the PP-12+ fits comfortably into the morning prep routine wherever potatoes appear regularly on the menu. Cycle times are short enough that a team can work through a substantial quantity well within a standard prep window, and the quick turnaround between batches prevents a bottleneck forming. The integral timer removes guesswork from cycle length, which also helps maintain peel quality regardless of who is running prep on a given day.
Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:
- Abrasive chamber delivers consistent peel quality without manual intervention
- Integral timer supports repeatable cycles with minimal operator attention
- Aluminium construction handles the wet prep environment reliably
- Simple controls reduce the training burden on kitchen staff
- High batch throughput eases time pressure during the prep window
Installation is generally straightforward. The PP-12+ requires a standard electrical supply alongside a cold water connection and floor drainage to manage discharge during and after the peel cycle. It is worth confirming your drainage arrangements before the machine arrives — water management is a practical consideration, not an afterthought. Sammic offer a purpose-built stand as a separate accessory, which is worth factoring in if worktop space is limited or if the machine will be used throughout the day rather than just during morning prep. Check the footprint against your available prep area before ordering.
The PP-12+ is well suited to pubs, restaurants, schools, care homes, and contract catering operations where potatoes feature consistently on the menu. It covers the majority of single-site operations without over-specifying. For central production kitchens, large-scale event catering, or any site processing particularly high volumes daily, a higher-capacity machine would be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether the PP-12+ suits your prep volumes or fits your kitchen layout, the team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

The IMC SP25 is a floor-standing electric potato peeler built for commercial batch peeling. Mounted on a low pedestal, it is designed to handle the steady daily volumes that smaller restaurants, pub kitchens, care homes, and school catering operations typically produce. The pedestal positions the discharge point at a practical working height, which works well where produce is emptied directly into prep containers or sinks at bench level.
In a working kitchen environment, the SP25 holds up well under repeated daily use. The carborundum liner and reversible rust-proof peeling plates are built to withstand the consistent handling that commercial veg prep involves, and the stainless steel lid with secure push-fit keeps mess contained during each cycle. The combination of stainless steel and cast alloy construction cleans down quickly and resists the wear that comes with high-frequency use.
From an operational standpoint, the SP25 offers a number of practical advantages:
- Carborundum liner doubles as a fill guide, supporting consistent batch loading
- Reversible rust-proof peeling plates extend service life and reduce consumable costs
- WRAS-approved Class A air-break ensures compliance with UK water regulations without additional fittings
- Stainless steel and cast alloy construction is straightforward to clean after service
- Low pedestal discharge height aligns well with bench-height prep containers
Installation requires a suitable electrical supply and a cold water connection. The floor-standing base needs a stable, level position with adequate drainage nearby, as water is used throughout the peeling cycle. It is worth allowing clear access around the unit for cleaning and for reversing the liner plates when planning placement.
The SP25 is well suited to smaller and medium-volume operations where daily peeling loads are steady but do not justify a larger machine. For higher-volume sites — hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, or central production units — a heavier-duty machine with greater batch capacity is likely a better fit. If you are unsure whether the SP25 matches your throughput requirements, we are happy to talk it through.
From £2,330.00(£2,796.00 inc VAT)
The Metcalfe GU4 is a floor-standing, pedestal-mounted electric potato peeler with a 14lb working capacity. It occupies a modest footprint on the kitchen floor, making it a practical choice where worktop space is limited and a dedicated, reliable peeling machine is needed without the scale of a full production unit.
The motor and gearbox sit enclosed within the pedestal column, which keeps external surfaces clean and removes exposed moving parts from the prep environment. A flexible coupling between the motor and drive shaft provides a degree of overload protection — a useful feature in a busy kitchen where the occasional jam is unavoidable. The peeling chamber uses an abrasive-bonded rotor plate combined with cast-in abrasive serrations on the chamber wall, eliminating a separate lining and reducing one ongoing source of wear and replacement cost.
Day-to-day, ease of cleaning is as important as peeling performance. The top casting lifts away without tools, the rotor plate removes quickly for inspection or a thorough clean, and the chamber supports a flush-clean method that keeps turnaround time short between prep batches. This suits kitchens running a structured daily prep cycle rather than continuous high-volume production.
- Enclosed pedestal column keeps motor and gearbox clean and inaccessible during use
- Tool-free top casting removal gives quick access for cleaning and rotor inspection
- Flush-clean chamber design reduces turnaround time between prep batches
- Wall-mounted starter includes emergency stop, no-volt release, and overload protection
- Available in single or three phase supply and standard or low pedestal height configurations
Installation requires a suitable electrical supply — single or three phase depending on the specification ordered — along with a water connection and adequate drainage. The water inlet includes an air break in line with current UK water regulations. Pedestal height variants are available to suit different counter and workflow heights, and clearance should be allowed around the unit for daily cleaning and rotor removal.
The GU4 is well suited to schools, pubs, care homes, contract caterers, and independent restaurants with a consistent daily potato prep requirement. It is not intended for continuous high-throughput production. Sites running multiple sittings with short prep windows, or kitchens with significantly higher daily volumes, may find a larger-capacity machine a better fit for their workflow. Equally, lower-volume operations with worktop space available may be equally well served by a countertop model.
If you are working out whether the GU4's capacity suits your prep routine, or have questions about electrical supply and positioning, the team is happy to talk through the detail before you order.

The Sammic PP-6+ is a commercial electric potato peeler that uses a rumbler-style tumbling action to move potatoes against an abrasive-lined chamber, removing skin consistently without manual effort. It is a well-established piece of veg prep equipment with a straightforward, reliable design built around the everyday demands of a working kitchen.
During the pre-service prep window, the PP-6+ handles repeated peeling cycles without fuss. The abrasive base plate and chamber walls work consistently across batches, and the integrated timer allows operators to set the cycle and move on to other tasks rather than standing over the machine. The aluminium construction holds up well under regular daily use and is practical to maintain in a busy environment.
From an operational standpoint, the main day-to-day advantages are:
- Eliminates manual peeling, freeing staff for higher-value prep tasks
- Consistent results batch after batch with minimal supervision required
- Built-in timer keeps operation simple and reduces the need for constant monitoring
- Aluminium body is durable and straightforward to keep clean
- Simple push-button controls mean minimal training is needed
The PP-6+ is a countertop unit, so a stable work surface is required. Where bench space is limited, a dedicated stand is available to allow floor-level positioning. The peeling process generates wastewater, so positioning the machine within reach of a suitable drain is worth factoring into your kitchen layout. Confirm your electrical supply is compatible before installation.
This machine is well suited to small and medium catering operations — pub kitchens, independent restaurants, school canteens, and care homes where potato peeling is a regular part of the prep routine but volumes are not exceptionally high. For sites processing substantially larger quantities across a shift, a higher-capacity model would be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through your prep volumes or how this fits into your kitchen layout, we are happy to help you make the right choice.
From £2,804.00(£3,364.80 inc VAT)
The IMC SP12 is a floor-standing electric potato peeler mounted on a low pedestal, designed for commercial kitchens that need dependable, repeatable vegetable preparation as part of daily mise en place. It operates on a batch basis rather than continuous feed, making it practical for sites where potato prep happens in stages throughout the day rather than in large unbroken runs.
In a working kitchen environment, the SP12 performs consistently across batches. The carborundum liner abrades and peels evenly, and because the liners and peeling plate are reversible and rust-proof, the machine maintains its performance over time without requiring frequent consumable replacement or specialist servicing. The stainless steel lid with push-fit closure keeps the process contained, which helps maintain a cleaner prep area during operation.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:
- Batch peeling that meaningfully reduces hand-prep time during busy service preparation
- Reversible liners that extend consumable life and lower ongoing replacement costs
- Stainless steel and cast alloy construction that holds up well under regular commercial use
- WRAS-approved Class A air-break fitting, compliant with current UK water regulations without modification
- Low pedestal discharge height suited to compact prep areas or lower worktop configurations
Installation requires a water supply, a drain connection, and an electrical supply. The WRAS-approved air-break means the machine meets UK water regulations as standard. The low pedestal keeps the unit stable on the floor, but it is worth checking the discharge height and overall footprint against your prep area layout before ordering, particularly in tighter kitchens.
The SP12 is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, pub kitchens, school catering facilities, and smaller restaurant kitchens — where potato preparation is a daily requirement but throughput volumes do not justify a larger continuous-feed machine. For higher-volume sites processing significant quantities per shift, a heavier-duty model with greater batch capacity is likely to be a better fit.
If you would like to talk through whether the SP12 is the right match for your prep volumes or installation setup, our team is glad to work through the details with you before you make a decision.
£1,360.00(£1,632.00 inc VAT)
The IMC VQ3.5 is a countertop electric potato peeler designed for commercial kitchens that process a steady daily volume of potatoes but do not require the continuous throughput of a larger floor-standing machine. It operates on a batch basis — a measured load per cycle — and is simple enough to run consistently across a full prep shift without demanding close operator attention.
In practice, this machine sits comfortably alongside other morning prep tasks. It is not intended as a production-line unit, but as a reliable piece of kit that does its job cleanly and gets washed down without fuss. The stainless steel and cast alloy construction holds up well in the wet, busy conditions of a working prep kitchen, and the straightforward mechanical design means there is little to go wrong under normal daily use.
From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are:
- Compact countertop footprint suits smaller prep areas and tight bench layouts
- Simple controls reduce training time and the risk of operator error
- WRAS-approved Class A air break keeps the installation compliant with UK water regulations
- Straightforward strip-down at the end of service supports good hygiene practice
- Low-maintenance design helps keep running costs and unplanned downtime to a minimum
Installation requires a standard electrical supply and a water connection with a compliant waste arrangement. There are no exceptional space or access demands, which makes it practical for prep areas that are already working hard. It is worth confirming your available bench space and waste routing before ordering.
This machine is well suited to smaller restaurants, pub kitchens, care homes, schools, and similar operations where daily potato volumes are moderate rather than high. For sites with significantly greater throughput requirements, a larger-capacity unit would likely serve better.
If you would like to talk through whether the batch size and daily cycle capacity aligns with your prep volumes, the team is happy to help you work that out.
From £3,502.00(£4,202.40 inc VAT)
The IMC SP25H is a floor-standing electric potato peeler built for commercial kitchens that need a reliable, repeatable approach to batch veg preparation. It uses a carborundum-lined drum to abrade skin cleanly without manual intervention, and the high pedestal version raises the discharge point to a more practical working height — reducing operator bending and making it easier to transfer product directly into prep containers or sinks nearby.
In a working kitchen this kind of machine earns its place through consistency rather than spectacle. Load, run, discharge, clean — the cycle is straightforward, and that predictability matters when a prep shift is running against a service deadline. The stainless steel and cast alloy construction holds up well to the wet, heavy conditions typical of a veg prep area, and daily use across a long period is well within what the machine is designed for.
The practical advantages from an operational standpoint include:
- Reversible, rust-proof carborundum liners extend service life and reduce consumable cost over time
- Liner also acts as a fill-level guide, helping operators avoid overloading the drum
- Secure push-fit stainless steel lid keeps the machine safe during the peel cycle
- WRAS-approved Class A air-break keeps the installation compliant with UK water regulations
- Designed for straightforward cleaning with minimal disassembly between uses
Installation requires an electrical supply and a plumbed water connection with adequate drainage. The WRAS-approved air-break means backflow prevention is handled within the machine in most standard installations, though your plumber should confirm this against your specific site setup. Make sure the floor area is adequate for the loaded weight of the machine and that drainage can handle the water volume used per cycle.
The SP25H is well suited to kitchens where potatoes are peeled in batches as part of a daily prep routine — pub kitchens, care home catering, small hotels, and busy cafés are typical environments. It is not designed for near-continuous high-volume peeling across a long service window; if your operation demands that level of throughput, a heavier-duty machine with greater load capacity would be worth considering instead.
If you'd like to talk through whether the SP25H is the right fit for your prep volumes or want to go over the installation requirements before committing, our team is glad to help.
£2,676.00(£3,211.20 inc VAT)
The Sammic PI-30 is an electric batch potato peeler designed for continuous use in commercial prep kitchens. It works by tumbling produce against abrasive-lined chamber walls and a removable base plate, removing skins through friction rather than cutting. Beyond potatoes, it handles a range of root vegetables, making it a practical multi-purpose machine across daily prep routines.
In a busy prep environment, the PI-30 earns its place through consistency and reliability under repeated daily use. The abrasive lining across both the chamber walls and the base plate ensures even coverage across a full load, which reduces the amount of hand-finishing required and keeps prep moving at a steady pace. The built-in cycle timer — running up to six minutes — allows operators to adjust peeling time to suit different produce types and varying peel thicknesses, which is a genuine practical advantage when the menu extends beyond standard white potatoes.
Several design details are worth noting from an operational standpoint:
- Removable abrasive base plate simplifies cleaning and can be replaced independently when worn
- IP65-rated waterproof control board improves reliability in wet prep environments
- Electrically operated water inlet valve with non-return air break supports controlled, hygienic water flow
- Liftable polycarbonate cover with locking safety device prevents access during operation
- Aluminium door with hermetic seal and safety interlock supports food safety compliance
The control panel is straightforward — on/off push buttons with minimal complexity — which keeps training requirements low and reduces the risk of operator error during a pressured prep shift. A separate stand is available where benchtop installation is not practical for the kitchen layout.
On the installation side, the PI-30 requires a mains electrical supply and a plumbed water connection with drainage. It is a machine of meaningful weight, so access and positioning should be considered during planning. It is not suited to mobile or temporary kitchen setups where fixed services are unavailable.
The PI-30 is well suited to restaurants, hotels, pub kitchens, and contract catering operations where potato and root vegetable prep is a regular part of service. It represents a practical step up from entry-level machines for operations running meaningful daily volumes. Kitchens with significantly higher throughput demands may find a larger-capacity model a better fit, while sites with only occasional peeling requirements may find a smaller unit a more proportionate investment.
If you are unsure whether the PI-30 matches your kitchen's prep volumes and workflow, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.
From £2,858.00(£3,429.60 inc VAT)
The IMC SP12H is a floor-standing electric potato peeler built around a carborundum-lined drum that removes skin consistently through tumbling action, without manual effort. The high pedestal raises the machine's discharge point to a comfortable working height, which reduces unnecessary bending when transferring peeled product to a container or sink — a practical consideration across a full prep shift.
In a working kitchen, this machine is well suited to steady, repeated loading throughout a morning's prep. It handles a solid batch per cycle and is capable of turning over a meaningful weight of potatoes before service, making it practical for sites that prepare potatoes daily at moderate volume. Turnaround between batches is simple — empty, reload, and run again with minimal interruption to the prep workflow.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:
- Carborundum liner doubles as a fill-level indicator, supporting consistent loading across shifts
- Rust-proof peeling plate and reversible liners extend component life and reduce running costs
- WRAS-approved Class A air-break ensures compliance with UK water regulations without modification
- Stainless steel and cast alloy construction holds up reliably in wet prep environments
- Push-fit stainless steel lid contains water and debris effectively during operation
Installation is straightforward. The machine requires a mains electrical connection and a cold water supply. The WRAS-approved air-break means it meets current UK water regulations out of the box, with no additional fitting required. The high pedestal suits kitchens where operators work at standard counter height; if your prep area has restricted headroom, or a lower discharge point would integrate better with your workflow, an alternative pedestal height is worth considering before you order. Floor space requirements are modest, making this a practical fit for smaller prep sections.
This model is well suited to smaller restaurants, gastropubs, care homes, school kitchens, and similar operations with regular but moderate daily potato volumes. For sites with significantly higher throughput or central production requirements, a heavier-duty machine with greater capacity would be a more appropriate choice.
If you'd like to talk through whether this model fits your prep volumes or kitchen setup, the team is happy to help you work it out.
From £2,810.00(£3,372.00 inc VAT)
The Metcalfe GU8 is a floor-standing pedestal potato peeler with a 28lb peeling chamber, built for commercial kitchens where bulk vegetable preparation is a daily requirement rather than an occasional task. It sits in the mid-to-upper range of the Metcalfe pedestal peeler lineup, sized for operations that need to move meaningful volumes of potatoes and root vegetables through prep each day without the machine becoming a bottleneck.
The motor and gearbox are enclosed within the pedestal column, keeping the external profile clean and reducing the risk of accidental damage during a busy shift. A flexible coupling between the motor output shaft and the peeling drive shaft provides a practical safeguard against jams and overloads — a detail that matters when the machine is running multiple cycles daily across a long prep window. The abrasive rotor plate works in combination with cast-in abrasive serrations on the inner chamber wall, so the peeling surfaces do not depend on coatings that degrade with repeated use.
In day-to-day operation, the GU8 is designed to keep prep moving with minimal interruption. Practical advantages include:
- Tool-free top casting removal for straightforward rotor plate access during cleaning
- Flush-clean chamber — a direct water rinse clears peel residue without full disassembly
- Wall-mounted starter panel with on switch, emergency stop, no-volt release, and overload protection as standard
- Water inlet with air break fitted as standard for water regulations compliance
- Available in single or three phase, and in low or standard pedestal height to suit different kitchen layouts
Installation requires a dedicated electrical supply matched to the chosen phase specification, a nearby water connection, and adequate drainage. The machine is freestanding and does not require wall fixing, but the wall-mounted starter panel needs a suitable surface in close proximity. Post-cycle rinse and flush-clean produce a reasonable volume of water and peel slurry, so drainage positioning is worth planning carefully before the machine is placed. The GU8 is substantial in build and floor surface suitability should be considered as part of the installation planning.
The GU8 is well suited to hotel kitchens, pub groups, school catering operations, and contract caterers with consistently high daily prep volumes. It represents a step up from bench-top and lighter pedestal models, so sites with more modest throughput may find a lower-capacity machine a better fit. At the other end of the scale, very high-volume central production kitchens with heavy daily cycle counts should consider whether a larger-capacity machine would serve them better over time.
If you are working out which peeler capacity matches your prep volumes, or need to talk through the installation requirements for your site, we are happy to go through it with you before you commit.
£1,026.00(£1,231.20 inc VAT)
The Sammic M-5 is a commercial electric potato peeler that operates on the rumbler principle — tumbling potatoes against an abrasive-lined chamber to strip skins consistently and without manual effort. It is a straightforward, well-built machine designed for the daily demands of professional prep environments, with an aluminium body that holds up to the repetitive loading cycles a working kitchen requires.
In practice, a machine at this capacity earns its place quickly in kitchens producing roasts, chips, mash, or boiled potatoes at regular volume. A simple on/off control and a timer keep operation accessible for any member of the prep team, and the timer helps prevent over-peeling — which matters both for yield and produce quality during a busy prep shift.
The practical advantages in day-to-day use are clear:
- Removes the labour cost and inconsistency of hand-peeling at volume
- Abrasive chamber lining maintains peeling efficiency over time
- Aluminium construction resists corrosion in wet prep environments
- Timer control reduces waste from over-processing
- Compact footprint suits prep areas without monopolising bench space
Installation is uncomplicated. The M-5 connects to a standard electrical supply and requires a nearby drain or waste receptacle for peel and water discharge. It should be positioned on a stable, level surface with an accessible water connection — planning the drainage routing before committing to a location is worth doing early to avoid awkward retrofitting.
This machine is well suited to small and mid-sized operations: pub kitchens, hotel prep areas, school canteens, and similar environments where daily potato volumes are meaningful but don't yet justify a larger-capacity unit. Sites peeling significantly higher volumes per service may find a heavier-duty model better matched to their throughput demands.
If you'd like to talk through whether the M-5 suits your prep volumes and existing kitchen layout, we're happy to help you work that out before you commit.
£1,766.00(£2,119.20 inc VAT)
The Sammic PI-20 is a batch-load potato rumbler designed for commercial kitchens where peeling root vegetables is a regular, high-volume part of the daily prep routine. It works by tumbling produce against an abrasive silicon carbide-lined chamber — the base plate and walls strip skin evenly and consistently without manual effort. Beyond potatoes, it handles other root vegetables including carrots and beetroot, making it a practical piece of kit in a dedicated veg prep area.
In a working kitchen, the PI-20 earns its place through reliable throughput and consistent output across repeated batches. It removes the manual peeling burden during prep shifts, freeing staff for higher-value tasks, and the abrasive-lined chamber is built to withstand the sustained daily use typical of a busy veg section. The aluminium body holds up well in the wet, heavy-use conditions that come with the territory.
A few design details are worth noting from an operational standpoint:
- IP65-rated waterproof control board — reliable where splashing is routine
- Liftable polycarbonate cover with locking mechanism and safety interlock — safe loading and unloading
- Hermetically sealed aluminium door — prevents operation unless properly closed
- Removable abrasive base plate — straightforward to clean and replace when worn
- Built-in timer (0–6 minutes) — consistent peel cycles without constant supervision
The machine requires a mains water connection, as continuous water flow is integral to the peeling process. An electrically operated valve with a non-return air break controls the supply, so a suitable water inlet and drainage point close to the installation position is essential. An optional stand is available separately and is worth considering both for working-height ergonomics and to allow waste water to drain freely beneath the unit.
The PI-20 is well suited to pub kitchens, hotel operations, schools, care homes, and contract catering sites where potato and root vegetable prep forms a regular part of the daily workload. For sites running near-continuous peeling cycles or processing considerably larger volumes, a higher-capacity machine may be a better fit. For smaller or lower-frequency operations, a reduced-capacity model may be more proportionate.
If you'd like to talk through whether the PI-20 suits your prep volumes or have questions about water and drainage requirements before committing, we're glad to help you work it out.
£1,934.00(£2,320.80 inc VAT)
The IMC MF5 is a compact countertop vegetable preparation machine designed to handle more than one prep task from a single unit. Where a standard potato peeler does one job, the MF5 is built to peel potatoes and carrots, wash mussels, and spin salads — a practical arrangement for smaller kitchens where bench space is limited and every machine needs to justify its footprint.
In a working kitchen, the MF5 performs well across a moderate prep workload. Cycle times are short, which allows a well-organised prep team to move through a reasonable volume of produce during a prep window without the machine creating a bottleneck. Recovery between loads is quick, the controls are straightforward, and the adjustable integral timer helps achieve consistent results across different produce types. It does not require specialist training to operate, which is a genuine advantage in kitchens where staffing levels vary.
Key operational advantages include:
- Multi-function capability covers peeling, washing and spinning from one machine
- Short cycle times support steady throughput during prep periods
- Positive latch lid and polycarbonate inspection window allow safe, supervised operation
- WRAS-approved Class A air break ensures compliance with UK water regulations
- Accessible design makes routine cleaning and day-to-day maintenance straightforward
Installation is uncomplicated. The MF5 runs from a standard electrical connection and requires a plumbed water supply. The WRAS-approved air break means the unit meets current UK water regulations without additional modification. A sturdy, level surface close to a drainage point covers the main practical requirements — proximity to drainage makes a meaningful difference to how cleanly the area can be managed during use.
The MF5 is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, independent restaurants, and smaller contract catering operations where prep volumes are moderate and versatility matters. It is not the right choice for high-volume central production kitchens where continuous large-batch output is required — in those environments, a heavier-duty machine with greater throughput capacity would serve better.
If you would like to talk through whether the MF5 fits your prep volumes or slots into your existing workflow, the team is happy to work through the detail with you.
£1,653.00(£1,983.60 inc VAT)
The IMC VQ7 is a countertop potato peeler designed for commercial kitchens where bench space is limited but consistent, reliable peeling is a daily requirement. It works on a batch-load basis, using an abrasive peeling action to process potatoes before discharging cleanly, making it well suited to kitchens that prep in controlled cycles rather than running continuous high-volume lines.
In regular kitchen use, the VQ7 performs consistently batch to batch. The abrasive action is even and repeatable, and the reversible rust-proof liners help maintain that standard over time without requiring frequent attention. It runs quietly relative to others in its class, which is a practical consideration in smaller kitchens where prep and service periods can overlap.
The day-to-day operational advantages are straightforward:
- Compact countertop footprint fits prep benches where floor-standing units are not an option
- Stainless steel and cast alloy construction handles the demands of daily commercial use
- WRAS-approved Class A air break keeps the water connection compliant with current UK regulations
- Quiet running reduces additional noise during busy prep periods
- Easy to clean between batches, supporting good kitchen hygiene practice
Installation is uncomplicated. The VQ7 requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and a cold water connection with a suitable drain. The WRAS approval means no additional backflow protection is needed. It will sit comfortably on most existing prep benches, though it is worth confirming your bench is rated to carry the loaded machine weight before positioning it.
This machine is best suited to smaller operations — pub kitchens, cafés, smaller restaurants, and contract catering units — where potato peeling is a regular but not industrial-scale task. Sites processing significantly larger volumes per session, or running back-to-back batches continuously across a full prep shift, should consider a higher-capacity model to avoid placing sustained demand on a unit designed for this throughput range.
If you are unsure whether the VQ7 matches your prep volumes or want to talk through the installation setup, we are happy to help you work that out before you order.
£1,920.00(£2,304.00 inc VAT)
The Sammic PES-20 is a dual-function vegetable preparation machine that combines potato peeling and salad drying in a single unit. The peeling chamber uses a silicon carbide abrasive plate to remove skins cleanly and consistently, while a separate drying basket centrifuges washed salad leaves and prepared vegetables to remove excess moisture before service. For kitchens where prep bench space is limited or where consolidating equipment makes practical sense, having both functions in one machine is a straightforward advantage.
In a working kitchen, the PES-20 performs reliably across steady, moderate daily prep volumes. It is commonly used in restaurant kitchens, pub operations, hotel properties, and contract catering sites that run a structured prep cycle rather than continuous high-throughput processing. The removable abrasive base plate keeps the machine straightforward to clean between sessions, and the watertight controls hold up sensibly in the damp, busy conditions typical of a commercial veg prep area.
Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:
- Combined peeling and salad drying removes the need for two separate machines
- Removable abrasive plate simplifies cleaning and day-to-day maintenance
- Liftable cover with safety interlock supports consistent, safe daily operation
- IP65-rated controls resist water ingress in wet prep environments
- Stainless steel construction supports hygiene and durability under commercial use
The PES-20 requires a mains water connection, a suitable drainage point, and a standard electrical supply. It is worth confirming that your available prep space allows comfortable access around the unit for loading, unloading, and cleaning. The NSF-approved abrasive base plate is a useful detail for sites subject to food safety audits.
The PES-20 is a practical choice for mid-sized kitchens with consistent but not exceptional daily prep requirements. For operations running significantly higher volumes on a continuous basis, a heavier-duty model from the wider range is worth considering. At the other end, for very low-volume sites where salad drying is not needed, a simpler peeler-only unit may represent better value.
If you are working out whether the PES-20 is the right fit for your prep volumes and kitchen setup, we are glad to talk it through before you commit.
£1,510.00(£1,812.00 inc VAT)
The Sammic PI-10 is a commercial electric potato peeler designed for repeated daily use in busy prep environments. It handles 10kg of produce per cycle using an abrasive-lined chamber and base plate to peel potatoes and other root vegetables evenly across the full load. The result is a cleaner peel with less hand-finishing than manual methods or lower-quality machines typically require.
Where potato prep represents a genuine bottleneck during prep shifts, a machine at this capacity earns its place. Kitchens serving pub menus, school canteens, staff restaurants, and contract catering operations will find the throughput well suited to moderate to high daily volumes. The integrated timer allows operators to set consistent cycle times, which helps standardise results across different staff and shifts — a practical advantage in kitchens where prep is shared across a team.
Features that translate directly into day-to-day operational value include:
- IP65-rated waterproof control board, reliable in wet prep environments
- 0–6 minute integrated timer for consistent, repeatable peel cycles
- Removable abrasive base plate, straightforward to clean and replace over time
- Polycarbonate cover with safety interlock, preventing operation when open
- Aluminium door with hermetic seal, containing water and debris during the cycle
Installation requires a mains cold water connection via the electrically operated inlet valve, which incorporates a non-return air break. This is worth accounting for when planning the machine's position relative to your sink or drainage point. An optional stand is available separately and is worth considering where bench space is limited or drainage alignment is a practical constraint.
The PI-10 is well suited to kitchens with consistent, moderate to high daily prep demands. For sites with significantly larger throughput requirements, a higher-capacity model may be the more appropriate choice. Equally, if prep volumes are modest, a smaller unit could be a more proportionate fit.
If you'd like to talk through whether the PI-10 suits your prep volumes or installation layout, the team is happy to help.

The Hobart potato peeler is a floor-standing commercial unit designed for continuous preparation in busy kitchens. It operates on a direct-feed basis, with a hose connection for water supply during the peeling cycle, and is built to the manufacturing standards Hobart are known for in the catering industry. The stainless steel construction makes it practical to clean and suited to the demands of a working kitchen environment.
In practice, this unit suits kitchens that peel potatoes in volume across a shift — pubs, school and contract caterers, hotel kitchens, and care home operations among them. The 6.3kg per-cycle capacity means it works well for steady, repeated batching throughout a preparation period rather than large single loads. The motor is designed for reliable, continuous running and consistent results regardless of potato size or age, which matters when you are working against a prep deadline.
Key operational points worth noting:
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and cleans down quickly
- Hose connection simplifies water supply and rinse-down during use
- Consistent peeling results across different potato grades and sizes
- Built for repeated batching through a prep shift, not occasional light use
- Relatively compact footprint for a floor-standing commercial peeler
Installation requires a suitable cold water supply for the hose connection, a floor drain or drainage provision nearby, and an appropriate electrical supply. The unit weighs 40kg, so positioning should be considered before installation — access for routine cleaning and maintenance is worth planning at the outset.
This peeler is well suited to kitchens preparing moderate to high volumes of potatoes daily. For very high-throughput operations such as large-scale contract catering, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering. Lighter-duty or lower-volume kitchens may find a smaller bench-top unit more practical.
If you are unsure whether this model suits your preparation volumes or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Hobart potato peeler is a floor-standing commercial unit designed for continuous, high-throughput vegetable preparation. With a 13kg peeling capacity per cycle, it is intended for kitchens where potatoes form a significant part of daily prep — not the occasional side dish, but volume prep that needs to be reliable and repeatable across every service. The hose connection allows spent water and peelings to be discharged directly, which keeps the workflow clean and reduces handling between cycles.
In a busy kitchen environment, this type of machine earns its place through consistency. The motor is built to Hobart's commercial specification and is designed to handle repeated back-to-back loads without performance drop-off. Results vary appropriately with potato age and grade, which is normal for any abrasive peeler — operators working with older or irregular stock should factor that in. The stainless steel construction holds up well under daily wash-down conditions and the demands of a professional prep environment.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:
- Reduces manual peeling labour significantly in high-volume prep kitchens
- Consistent cycle results with fresh, good-grade stock
- Hose connection simplifies waste discharge and keeps the prep area cleaner
- Stainless steel construction supports regular cleaning routines
- Built to Hobart's commercial durability standards for long service life
Installation requires a suitable floor drain or waste connection to make use of the hose discharge, along with an appropriate electrical supply. At 80kg, the unit needs a permanent, dedicated position in the prep area — this is not a machine that gets moved around. Floor space and proximity to drainage should be confirmed before ordering.
This peeler is well suited to mid-to-large scale catering operations: contract caterers, large pub kitchens, hotels, and institutional catering where potato prep volume justifies a dedicated machine. For lighter or more occasional use, a smaller-capacity unit may be more appropriate; for very high-volume central production kitchens, a heavier-duty model from the range may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether the 13kg capacity is the right fit for your prep volumes or want to talk through the installation requirements, the team is happy to help you work through it before you commit.

The Sammic PPC-12+ is a batch-feed potato peeler designed for commercial kitchen use. It uses abrasive peeling — both the base plate and chamber walls are lined with abrasive material — to remove skins efficiently without manual intervention. An integral timer (running up to six minutes) allows operators to set consistent peeling cycles, and on/off push buttons keep operation straightforward. The aluminium body keeps the unit relatively lightweight without sacrificing the durability expected in a working kitchen environment.
In a busy kitchen, repetitive vegetable prep is one of the more time-consuming tasks to manage during service build-up. A machine like the PPC-12+ takes that workload off the hands of kitchen staff, allowing a batch of potatoes to be processed while other prep continues in parallel. The directable cylinder helps with loading and unloading, and the abrasive lining is built to withstand regular daily use. The timer function also reduces over-peeling, which helps control waste — a practical consideration in any operation watching food costs.
Key operational advantages include:
- Consistent peel results across each batch without manual supervision
- Integral timer reduces over-peeling and associated food waste
- Simple push-button controls require minimal operator training
- Abrasive lining designed for durability under repeated daily use
- Aluminium construction keeps the unit manageable to position and move
Installation requirements are straightforward for a machine of this type — a standard electrical connection and a suitable water supply and drainage point will be needed nearby. It is worth confirming the available space in your prep area before ordering, as potato peelers of this style need clear access for loading and waste removal. The unit is best positioned at a practical working height with drainage to hand.
The PPC-12+ is well suited to small to mid-sized catering operations — pub kitchens, hotel restaurants, care homes, and similar sites where potatoes feature regularly on the menu. For higher-volume operations processing large quantities each service, a heavier-duty or larger-capacity model within the range may be a better fit.
If you are unsure whether this model suits your prep volumes or kitchen layout, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to an order.

The Sammic PPC-6+ is a commercial potato peeler designed for kitchens that process significant volumes of root vegetables as part of their daily prep. It uses abrasive peeling — a proven method in which both the base plate and chamber walls are lined with a hard-wearing abrasive surface that removes skin quickly and consistently as the drum rotates. The directable cylinder allows waste water and peelings to be discharged efficiently, keeping the prep area manageable during busy periods.
In a working kitchen environment, consistency and speed during prep are just as important as performance during service. The PPC-6+ is built around this reality: the abrasive lining is designed to withstand repeated daily use without rapid degradation, and the integral timer — adjustable up to six minutes — allows operators to run repeat cycles without constant supervision, freeing up staff for other prep tasks. The aluminium body keeps the overall weight practical without sacrificing durability.
From an operational standpoint, this machine offers several clear advantages for kitchen teams:
- Hands-free peeling cycles reduce manual labour on high-volume potato prep
- Built-in on/off controls and timer support consistent, repeatable results
- Abrasive-lined chamber and base plate handle repeated cycles without premature wear
- Aluminium construction keeps the unit manageable and easy to move if required
- Directable discharge simplifies waste handling and keeps workflows tidy
Before purchasing, it is worth considering the water supply and drainage requirements for the installation position, as these machines rely on a continuous water feed during the peeling cycle and produce a reasonable volume of water and peel waste. Ensure the intended location has appropriate drainage and that floor space allows comfortable access for loading, unloading, and routine cleaning.
The PPC-6+ is well suited to pubs, school kitchens, care homes, and smaller restaurant operations where potato prep forms a regular part of the daily routine but overall volumes do not demand a larger-capacity machine. For higher-volume sites — such as central production kitchens or contract catering operations processing very large quantities — a heavier-duty or higher-capacity model may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your prep volumes or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
