Model 2920 Peeler

The Model 2920 peeler, represents a major change for the company in how we design and build our famous food processing equipment. It truly represents what we call "The Shape of Things to Come." 

The Model 2920 peeler was the focus of an extensive test program in a production facility where Vanmark was given the rare opportunity to evaluate design changes under “real world”, factory conditions.  Based on test results and input from our customer, our R & D team was able to optimize the design for best performance under a wide range of conditions.

The test program allowed Vanmark to try out some advanced design concepts, such as our unique “Natural Flow Gate”, that would simply have not been possible in a laboratory setting.  The new gate has since been introduced to the marketplace as an upgrade to the Series 2700 and 2800 peeler / washers with incredible acceptance.  In virtually every case where it has been installed, the Natural Flow Gate has made significant improvement to peeler efficiency.   Independently tested and verified.

A member of the design team commented that the new gate is something that has been a long time coming, simply because we have never been able to simulate the test conditions necessary to properly evaluate the design approach. The Natural Flow Gate has proven to work extremely well in improving peeler efficiency.  It is a standard feature of the Model 2920 peeler.

Many other exciting innovations are built into this new peeler to enhance the original time-proven Vanmark design. Some of these are visible and immediately apparent, while others are more subtle and only become apparent when performance and overall efficiencies are compared against those of older models and competitive machines.

Just a few of the many features designed into the new Model 2920 peeler are listed below.

Fewer parts, less maintenance, and lower cost of operation mean higher profits and quick Return On Investment (ROI).

Significantly reduces peel loss by improving tumbling action inside the peeler and flow of product from the peeler. Increases peeler efficiency by 1 or more basis points.  

Unique belt and sprocket drive reengineered to make it even better.  The all new stainless steel drive case has super strong PolyChain® belts, new sprockets and no-lube bearings.  The result: a virtually maintenance free drive.

Rounded surfaces and fewer hard-to-clean pockets, shelves, crevices, and corners to collect unsanitary debris.

Allows upgrades and options to be quickly and easily added.

New bearing block is machined from food grade Delrin® plastic.  Improved resistance to moisture and hot sanitizing solutions.

No mild steel to cause corrosion problems.

A Vanmark exclusive.  Much greater efficiency than older "U-Bed" designs.

A new Vanmark innovation - these waste grids help get rid of peeling waste quickly, improving efficiency.  

Switch from left-hand to right-hand to suit your operation in less than a minute.  No expensive modifications if you change the production line.

Complete, unhampered access to the peeling chamber for servicing and sanitizing.  Improved doors are easier to close than on other peeler models.

A wide variety of brushes and abrasive rolls can be combined to give you the best peeling action for your product and conditions.

Because it comes standard with the Natural Flow gate, the peeler is "automation ready".  An upgrade will be available in the near future to enhance your investment and make it even more efficient.  Tests to date have been very successful  as reported in a recent issue of UPTIME.

Vanmark stands ready to help you optimize the peeler and roll configuration to your operations.
