Commercial Vegetable & Fruit Processing Equipment in Toronto & Canada
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions we hear from operators.
How does a commercial potato peeler work?
A commercial potato peeler uses a rotating abrasive disc lined with a coarse, sandpaper-like surface to scrub the skins off a full batch of potatoes at once, instead of peeling one at a time by hand. Add the potatoes, run water through the drum, and the friction strips the skins in a couple of minutes. Our Omcan electric potato peelers come in 22, 40, and 55-66 lb capacities, so a small kitchen and a high-volume operation can both find the right size.
Is a commercial food processor the same as an immersion blender?
No — a food processor uses interchangeable blades and discs in a bowl to chop, slice, dice, and grate solid ingredients, while an immersion blender is a handheld wand you lower directly into a pot to puree soups, sauces, and purees without transferring anything to a separate bowl. We carry both from Robot Coupe, along with Dynamic and KitchenAid immersion blenders, so you can pick whichever fits the prep task.
What makes a commercial salad spinner different from a home one?
A commercial salad spinner is built to handle bigger batches — our Dynamic salad spinners run from a 1.25-gallon manual model up to a 5-gallon electric spinner — with a sturdier basket and base built for repeated daily use instead of occasional home use. Spinning off extra water after washing greens helps dressing stick better and keeps salads from getting watery on the line.
