Hobart 6460-2 Electric Vegetable Peeler, 50-60 lb. Capacity, 230V

Description

Why We Love It: The Hobart 6460-2 Electric Vegetable Peeler is a high-performance kitchen tool designed for efficiency and durability, capable of peeling 50-60 pounds of potatoes in just 1 to 3 minutes. Its robust 1 HP motor features manual reset thermal overload protection, ensuring reliable operation and safeguarding the machine from overheating during heavy use.
Constructed with welded stainless steel housing and a stainless steel drive shaft, this peeler combines long-lasting durability with a sleek, easy-to-clean finish. The cylindrical design and heliarc-welded stainless steel construction provide structural strength and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for demanding commercial kitchen environments.
The unit includes a removable NSF-approved Lexan liner and a silicon carbide abrasive disc that is permanently bonded to a lightweight fiberglass-reinforced plastic disc. This abrasive disc is designed for high-volume usage and can be quickly removed for cleaning, enhancing sanitation and maintenance efficiency.
Ease of use is enhanced by a 5-minute timer with 15-second increment markers, allowing precise control over peeling time. A gray molded, heavy-duty hopper cover with an opening lets operators monitor the product during operation. The rear-mounted water inlet with a 5-foot fill hose promotes interior self-cleaning by directing water to strike the curved surface of the hopper cover, preventing splashing and maintaining hygiene.
Safety features include a bowl cover interlock that prevents operation unless the cover is securely in place, and thermal overload protection with manual reset located on the outside of the hopper opposite the discharge chute. The peeler also utilizes a poly V-belt drive for direct speed reduction between the motor and peeling disc, with sealed grease-packed ball bearings to prevent water intrusion and ensure smooth, long-lasting performance.
Additional benefits include the ability to position the peeler unit at 90-degree intervals relative to the peel trap for flexible installation, and accessories such as a cabinet base and peel trap with stainless steel strainer for enhanced operational convenience.
Overall, the Hobart 6460-2 Electric Vegetable Peeler offers a combination of power, durability, sanitation, and operator safety, making it an essential asset for commercial kitchens focused on productivity and quality.
