Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Golden Fryer, a traditional and hugely popular fish and chip shop in Scarborough, found that manual peeling was creating a major bottleneck during peak hours, slowing down the entire service.
"We used to have one person just peeling spuds for hours, especially on a Friday. The HLP20 freed them up to help with frying and serving during our busiest times. It's been brilliant for our workflow and has made a real difference to our service speed."
David Chen – Owner, The Golden Fryer
The team can now process a 25kg sack of potatoes in under 10 minutes, a task that previously took over 45 minutes by hand, improving overall output significantly.

If your kitchen gets through sacks of spuds for chips, mash, or roasts, this machine is your new best mate. It's a powerful, floor-standing unit that can peel a massive 190kg of potatoes every hour, freeing up your team for more important jobs.

Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a stable, level spot on the floor near a suitable floor drain and a standard 13A socket.
- Ensure the water inlet hose is securely attached to a cold water supply tap.
- Position the waste outlet pipe so it flows directly and unobstructed into the drain.
- Before adding any potatoes, run a quick empty cycle with just water to check all connections are secure and watertight.
Keeping It Going
- Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before starting any cleaning.
- After every use, rinse the drum and abrasive liner thoroughly with water to remove all potato skin and starch residue.
- Periodically check the abrasive lining for signs of wear to maintain peak peeling performance.
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a food-safe cleaner to keep it in top condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does a commercial potato peeler machine work?
A: It uses a spinning drum lined with a rough, abrasive surface. As potatoes tumble inside with a little water, the friction gently 'sands' the skins off.
Q: Do I need a special water connection?
A: You'll just need a standard cold water tap connection, much like the one for a washing machine, to help rinse the peels away during the cycle.
Q: Where does all the peel waste go?
A: The potato skins and starchy water are flushed out through a waste pipe. This should be positioned to flow directly into a suitable floor drain.
Q: Can this machine peel other vegetables?
A: It's optimised for potatoes but can also be used for other hard root vegetables like carrots or turnips, though performance may vary depending on their shape and size.
Q: How much potato is wasted during the peeling process?
A: Abrasive peeling is very efficient. It's designed to remove only the skin, minimising flesh loss and resulting in less waste than traditional hand peeling.
Q: Is the Modena HLP20 difficult to clean?
A: Not at all. The stainless steel construction and simple drum design mean it can be rinsed out quickly and easily with water after you've finished using it.
Q: What does 'potato peeler 190kg per hour' actually mean in practice?
A: This figure represents the total weight of potatoes the machine can process in an hour, factoring in the time taken for loading and unloading each 20kg batch.
Q: What are the safety micro switches for?
A: They are a crucial safety feature that automatically shuts off the motor if the loading lid or emptying door is opened mid-cycle, preventing any risk of injury.
