Sammic PI-20 Commercial Potato Peeler 20kg Rumbler
£1,766.00(£2,119.20 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
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.
Frequently asked questions
What water and drainage connections does the PI-20 require?
The PI-20 needs a mains cold water supply with a suitable inlet connection close to the machine, as water flow runs continuously throughout the peeling cycle. An air break non-return valve is built into the water inlet, but you'll also need a floor drain or drainage point positioned to handle the waste water discharge. It's worth confirming both are accessible at your intended installation position before ordering.
Is the PI-20 the right size for our kitchen's prep volumes?
The PI-20 suits kitchens where potato and root vegetable prep is a regular daily task but where throughput doesn't demand near-continuous cycling. It's commonly used in pub kitchens, care homes, schools, and mid-sized hotel operations. If your site processes significantly larger volumes or runs the machine back-to-back for extended periods, it's worth discussing whether a higher-capacity model would serve you better.
How do you clean the PI-20 and how often does the abrasive plate need replacing?
The abrasive base plate is removable, which makes routine cleaning straightforward — it can be lifted out, rinsed, and refitted without tools. Replacement frequency depends on usage volume; heavier daily use will wear the abrasive surface faster. Keeping a spare plate on hand is a practical approach for kitchens where the machine is in use every day.
