The professional 30kg potato peeler for high-volume kitchens
The Sammic PI-30 Commercial Potato Peeler is designed for fast, hygienic and
consistent peeling in high-demand operations. Built with a 30kg load capacity and
capable of processing 600–720kg/hr, it is ideal for restaurants, hospitals, catering
centres, hotels and commissary kitchens.
As confirmed in the official Sammic technical sheet, the PI-30 is manufactured from
stainless steel and uses silicon carbide–lined side stirrers and abrasive plate for
efficient peeling action. It features a transparent locking polycarbonate cover, hermetic
aluminium door, IP65 water-resistant control board and automatic waste draining.
Engineered for professional performance
Heavy-duty stainless build with NSF-approved abrasives
Sammic integrates silicon carbide lateral stirrers and a silicon carbide–lined aluminium
base plate, both approved by NSF for food safety (source: product spec sheet). This
ensures faster abrasive action with minimal product damage. The 0–6 minute timer
and continuous operation mode allow precise control for different potato types.
Safety systems automatically stop the motor when the cover or door is opened, as detailed
in the PI-30 user manual. The waterproof IP65 control board protects against moisture,
improving longevity in wet prep areas.
