Poor
quality and blemished potatoes previously discarded
by sorting systems in potato storage facilities,
peeled by DORNOW RAD-series Radical Roller Peeling Machines
(Attention: this is not possible with all
peeling machines!)
The preparation of potatoes for the fresh market (kitchen
at home (housewife), central market, catering) or for more
elevated industrial purposes is nowadays carried out in
large sorting lines, which are, for the most part, installed
in big potato storehouses. Here, potatoes are not only
sorted out according to their sizes, but also blemished
potatoes with foul spots like scurf, digging damages or
rottenness are sorted out.
Approximately
6 to 7 per cent of the potatoes have such damages and are
not normally suitable for human nutrition.
For
the sorting lines (at least in “Western” countries) it
appears to be a problem to sell these potatoes at all.
One
of the possibilities often applied to use these potatoes in
a sensible way is to peel them. The large sorting plants
will normally deliver the bad potatoes “for nothing”, if
a peeling factory is ready (by contract) to accept these
potatoes permanently.
The
peeling of these potatoes can be carried out rapidly and
thoroughly on the DORNOW peeling machines of the RAD
production series. (Note: this is not possible at all on all
peeling machines!)
It
must be said that the final product (the peeled waste potato)
will not meet top quality requirements! It often occurs that
the potatoes sorted out and delivered to the peeling factory
do not even stem from the same sort…
However,
the final product can be used, for instance, for potato
salad or in other products where potatoes are accounted only
part of a final product made in a factory.
