10. Peeler Blade

1) Types of peeler blades

• The peeling thickness is divided into thin peel, normal peel, thick peel, and very thick peel. The yield is 

determined by adjusting the blade and the peeling thickness.

• Blade types are categorized as follows: fl at and saw. The selection depends on the type of item to be peeled.

• There are a total of seven diff erent blades. Select the blade based on the skin type of the item to be peeled, 

the condition of the item, and the desired peeling characteristics.

• The peeler blade part number is engraved on the front of the blade. Please quote this number when ordering 

a replacement.
