INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION , OPERATION
Place your Blakeslee Peeler where the most evident operation is assured. The Peeler should be placed so

CO.
AND MAINTENANCE OF BLAKESLEE
POTATO AND VEGETABLE PEELERS
INSTALLATION
that the peeled potatoes can be discharged into a sink. If your Peeler was supplied in the bench model, then
the Peeler should be Installed with room for the potatoes to discharge into a metal container so that the peeled
potatoes can be submerged in water, as peeled potatoes must be kept under water to prevent their turning black.
The Potato Peeler is equipped with a removable strainer basket that catches the peelings. This strainer basket is
removed through the access door in the base of the Peeler, so when installing your Peeler, be sure there is ample
room to permit easy removal of the strainer basket. NOTE: XC (floor) model peelers are shipped with the unload
door and strainer directly over one another. It is possible to have the strainer basket in a different position. Simply
remove the attaching bolts, move the bottom cylinder In increments of 90' until you obtain the desired position
and reinstall attaching bolts.
When you have selected the proper location for the Peeler, it is then necessary to connect the motor, the drain,
and make a cold water connection to the spray inlet on the top of the Peeler. Before making the electrical,
connection, be sure that the electrical specifications on the tag attached to the motor correspond to the available
electrical current. The drain pipe should be 2" or larger all the way with as much downward pitch as possible and
without any sharp bends for good drainage. A 3/8" cold water supply line should be connected to the back of the
machine. A hose bibb, to which a hose may be attached, is recommended for cleaning the Peeler after It has been
used.
OPERATION
Before operating the Peeler, be sure that the peeling disc and cover and the peel trap strainer basket are all In
place, then adjust the cock or valve for the correct flow of water into the peeling chamber. Next turn on the
motor and then put in the potatoes. Be careful not to overload the machine as when the peeling chamber is
overloaded, the potatoes will not tumble and roll properly and there will be more waste than is necessary.
Overloading the peeling chamber can also cause uneven peeling, or what is commonly called "flats". When
peeling long Idaho potatoes, it’s often advisable to cut them in half for efficient peeling. Always be sure to
turn on the motor the peeling disc is In motion before the potatoes are dumped into the peeling chamber, as
filling the peeling chamber first and then starting the motor tends to overload the motor and the potatoes do
not tumble and roll for even peeling. It is very desirable to have a container as a measure that will hold Just
the right quantity of potatoes, 15, 20 or 60 Ibs., as the model indicates, as such a measure is insurance against
overloading.
The time required for peeling a charge of potatoes depends greatly on the condition and age of the potatoes.
New potatoes are peeled very quickly, whereas old potatoes require a longer time for peeling. Potatoes that are
being peeled for potato chips are generally peeled very lightly. Potatoes that are going to be mashed should be
peeled more thoroughly. The progress of the peeling can be watched and sometimes It Is advisable to lift out
a-few potatoes to examine the extent of the peeling that has been accomplished.
To discharge the peeled potatoes, merely open the door of the peeling chamber and the peeled potatoes will
automatically throw out. After the peeled potatoes have been discharged, turn off the water and the motor. Do
not peel the eyes out of the potatoes as it is much more economical to trim out the eyes by hand after peeling.
When peeling large quantities of potatoes, empty the peel trap strainer basket frequently.
CLEANING
When all of the potatoes and vegetables have been peeled, and before the inside of the peeler has had time to dry. remove the cover, and the peeling
disc and hose out the Inside of the peeler. Always remember to empty and clean the peel trap strainer basket.
CAUTION: Be sure motor is connected so peeling disc
operates in clockwise direction. This Is very important
as if motor is running backwards, peeler cover will fly
off when potatoes are being peeled.
