Steam pressure peeler
LevelPoint Level

Overview
The washed tomatoes are fed into the steam drum on a conveyor belt. They are first heated to about 115 °C. In the next process step, the tomatoes are cooled in a vacuum, which separates the skin from the tomato. The skins are transported to a container via a special conveyor belt and the peeled tomatoes go to the next process step. Pressure sensors measure the steam as well as the vacuum in the pipelines. Level detection is required to monitor the level in the waste container.
