<p>A potato peeling apparatus includes a drum-type batch peeler (12, 100), an unpeeled potato infeed assembly (14) upstream from the batch peeler and a peeled potato discharge assembly (16) downstream from the batch peeler. The batch peeler includes a rotary plate (26, 128), a number of vertically adjustable bands (48, 50, 52 and 116, 118, 120) of different grade abrasive material. The bands are moved up and down to position a selected abrasive band above the plate for peeling. The bands may be secured to a single vertically moveable liner or may be secured to a plurality of liners which are moved vertically or nested as required to position a selected liner above and facing the plate for peeling.</p> |
