The Importance of Vegetable Processing Automatization Using the Example of Potato Abrasion Peeling

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important agricultural crops suitable for human consumption. High amount of valueless by-product is produced during the processing of potato peeling. Depending on the type of the abrasive peeling machine the by-product can be 15-40% of the unpeeled raw material. The purpose of the recent paper is to show that the peel losses can be decreased with a modem automation. This research is illustrated by a vegetable processing manufacture still operating
