Product Description
The Sammic PI-10 is a commercial electric potato peeler designed to handle 10kg of produce per cycle. It uses an abrasive-lined chamber and base plate to peel potatoes and other root vegetables evenly across the full load, reducing the hand-finishing that typically follows manual or lower-quality machine peeling. It is built for repeated daily use rather than occasional preparation.
In operational terms, the value of a machine at this capacity sits in throughput and consistency. A 10kg cycle suits kitchens where potato prep is a significant daily task — pub kitchens, school canteens, staff restaurants, and contract catering operations where hand-peeling creates a genuine bottleneck during prep shifts. The integrated timer allows operators to set repeatable cycle times, which helps standardise results across different staff and shifts.
Features that translate well into day-to-day kitchen use 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 — worth accounting for when planning positioning 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 factor.
The PI-10 is a practical fit for kitchens with moderate to high daily prep volumes. For sites with significantly larger throughput requirements, a higher-capacity model may be worth exploring. Equally, if your volumes are modest, a smaller unit could be a more proportionate choice.
If you'd like to talk through whether the PI-10 is the right fit for your prep volumes or installation setup, the team is happy to help before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For most pub kitchens and mid-sized canteens where potatoes are peeled once or twice daily, a 10kg per cycle machine is generally sufficient — operators can run back-to-back cycles where volumes are higher. If your site is peeling significantly more than 30–40kg per prep session regularly, it may be worth considering a larger-capacity model to avoid extending your prep window.
- The PI-10 requires a mains cold water connection to feed the electrically operated inlet valve, which includes a non-return air break as standard. You'll also need a suitable drainage point nearby and a standard mains electrical supply. Positioning near an existing sink or prep drain simplifies installation considerably, and if bench space is tight, the optional stand is worth factoring into your planning.
- Yes — the abrasive chamber is suitable for other root vegetables such as carrots and beetroot, making it a more versatile addition to a prep area than its name suggests. Results will vary slightly depending on the size and density of the produce, so it's worth running a small test batch when introducing a new vegetable type to dial in the correct cycle time.
