Embodiment Construction

[0040] The drawings are schematic and not intended to be drawn to scale. In the figures, each identical or substantially similar component that is illustrated in various figures is represented by a single numeral or symbol. For purposes of clarity, not every element may be labeled in every figure. Nor is every component of each embodiment of the invention shown where illustration is not necessary for those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the invention.

[0041] see figure 1 and 2 , shows an apparatus 2 for debarking tubers according to an embodiment of the invention. The tubers may comprise any edible tuber or a mixture of edible tubers, and the invention is particularly useful for peeling potatoes, for example for the manufacture of processed foods, typically potato chips or French fries.

[0042] The device 2 comprises a debarking device 4 defining a cavity 6 enclosed by a debarking mechanism 8 . The peeling device 4 has an input 10 connected to the cavity 6 ...

Abstract

A method of peeling tubers, the method comprising the steps of: a. providing a peeler device defining a cavity surrounded by a peeling mechanism; b. inputting tubers to be peeled into the cavity; c. directing electromagnetic radiation from an illumination device into the cavity; d. detecting electromagnetic radiation reflected into lens of a camera from tubers located in the cavity during a peeling operation by the peeling mechanism; and e. operating the peeler device based on the reflected electromagnetic radiation detected by the camera. Also disclosed is an apparatus for carrying out the method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tuber peeling device and a tuber peeling method. The invention is particularly suitable for peeling potatoes for the production of snack foods such as potato chips. Background technique [0002] During the processing of edible tubers such as potatoes, sweet potatoes or any other edible tuber or mixture of edible tubers to make processed foods such as potato chips or french fries, it is known that the edible tubers need to be peeled . The tubers need to be peeled sufficiently to remove the entire peel, otherwise the quality of the processed food will suffer. This applies in particular to the production of potato chips. However, if the tubers are over-peeled to ensure that each tuber is fully peeled, there will be too much wastage of the peel and the useful pulp of the tuber will be wasted, reducing yields. [0003] In commercial food production, such as in potato chip production, commercial peeling machines have a high pro...
