Metcalfe GU4 & GU8 Potato Peeling Machines 

The Metcalfe 14lb (6.3kg) & 28lb (12.6kg) potato peeling machines are constructed from food grade, 

non-corrosive aluminium alloy castings, with the spindle housing and chute cast integrally, eliminating 

joints and possible leakage. 

Features 

 

Powerful direct gear drive motors. The GU4 6.3kg and GU8 12.6kg models have 0.5hp geared units  

 

Low and high (sink height) pedestal models available  

 

Designed to enable the user to operate, clean and maintain with the minimum of effort 

 

Motor and gearbox units are housed inside the pedestal therefore no external projections 

 

The drive between the output shaft of the unit and the drive shaft of the peeler is by means of 

a flexible coupling which will prevent damage to the motor or gearbox if the machine is 

accidentally jammed or overloaded 

 

Top casting removeable without tools so that the rotor plate can be lifted out. Turn on water 

and whole machine is flushed clean. Cleaning should be carried out daily 

 

Rotor plate bonding is abrasive grit. Inside wall of peeling chamber has patented cast-in 

abrasive serrations which dispenses with the need for abrasive coating. Consequently, there is 

less potato loss during both peeling and boiling and the efficiency of the serrations will last the 

life of the machine 

 

All Metcalfe pedestal peelers are available with either single or three phase motors  

 

All single-phase peelers are supplied with a wall mounted starter which incorporate the ‘on’ 

switch, emergency stop, no-volt release, overload protection features and are fitted with a 

13amp plug 

 

All three phase peelers are supplied with cord only 

 

Machines fitted with a water inlet and hose connection incorporating an air-break.  Stop tap 

can be fitted if required.  Provision for fitting water inlet on either side of machine
