Abstract
This specification covers batch-type electric vegetable peeling machines of the following style: Style 1, Size A, and Style 2, Size A, Size B, and Size C. The cylinder or hopper shall be
sheet aluminum or stainless steel, or cast iron. Machines intended for marine applications shall be furnished with a stainless steel cylinder. The inside surface of all cylinders shall be
covered by silicon carbide or aluminum oxide. The disk shall be cast aluminum, formed stainless steel, or reinforced plastic. The cylinder covering ring shall be cast aluminum, spun sheet
aluminum, or fiberglass-reinforced plastic. The supporting base of the flour mounted Style 2 machine shall be steel, aluminum, or stainless steel. The vegetable peeler shall comply to the
specified physical requirements specified for the following: (1) cylinder or hopper, (2) disk, (3) vegetable outlet, (4) peel trap, (5) waste outlet, (6) water inlet and sprayer, (7) cylinder
covering ring, (8) Style 1, counter mounted, (9) Style 2, floor mounted, (10) waste disposer, (11) electrical devices such as motors, wiring, timer, and switch, and (12) piping, tubing,
