WHAT’S NEW: Peeling taro in Thailand with the PL 40K

The PL 40K is more than just a potato peeler

The PL 40K potato peeling machine is proving its versatility at a customer site in Thailand, where the company is successfully using two of the KRONEN machines to peel taro roots. The roots, with a diameter of approx. 80–100 mm, are prepared and cut into pieces with a maximum length of 150 mm. They are then peeled in batches using the two PL 40K machines. The result: perfectly peeled taro roots in no time, processed gently and with minimal waste – much to the customer’s satisfaction.

Proven technology for root vegetables, in use worldwide

The PL 40K impresses users with its robust stainless-steel construction, easy operation, and cost-efficient performance – ideal for small and medium-sized businesses. It processes potatoes, carrots, beetroot, kohlrabi, and other root vegetables with a capacity of up to 600 kg per hour.

Thanks to its efficient yet gentle processing and proven, reliable technology, the PL 40K demonstrates that it is much more than just a potato peeling machine. Whether handling classic root vegetables or specialties such as taro, it consistently delivers optimal peeling results for customers worldwide. In addition, it can be seamlessly integrated into processing lines that enable efficient, semi-automatic production.
