10LB BENCH POTATO PEELING MACHINE
The Metcalfe 10lb (4.5 Kg) potato peeling machine is constructed from food grade,
non-corrosive aluminium alloy castings, with the spindle housing and chute cast
integrally, eliminating joints and possible leakage.
FEATURES
Constructed from food grade, non-corrosive, aluminium alloy castings
Spindle housing and chute cast integrally, eliminating joints and possible leakage
Sink-top/counter-top, pedestal or trolley mounted
Complies with all relevant safety standards and designed for ease of maintenance
and cleaning
No lubrication is required. All bearings are grease packed and permanently sealed
V-belt driven for noiseless transmission, with provision for belt tensioning if
required
Rotor plate coated on both sides, doubling its life. Fine grained abrasive for new
potatoes on one side and coarse grained for old potatoes on the other
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
Top casting removable without tools so that the rotor plate can be lifted out. Turn
on water and the whole machine is flushed clean. Cleaning should be carried out
on a daily basis
Water inlet. Hose union with nozzle and provision for fitting on either side
Water outlet. Tapped 1½" BSP ready for waste pipe to be connected. Provision for
fitting on either side

INSTALLATION
The machine should be placed on a bench/worktop or draining board with the
discharge chute overlapping a sink.
If supplied with a pedestal or trolley, see installation instruction on how to
securely fit to both the pedestal and trolley.
Water Supply
The water inlet nozzle connecter is supplied and fitted to the machine (on right-
hand side), and has two possible inlet locations on either side of the machine,
whichever is convenient for your particular
installation.
Connect the water supply pipe to the water inlet,
connect the other end of the supply pipe to a cold
water tap or shut off valve that can be used to
supply a sufficient water flow into the machine.
Waste Outlet
The waste outlet is screwed onto the right-hand side of the machine and but
can be used on either side of the machine to suit your particular installation.
Pipe work for the waste outlet can be purchased from a
hardware store, or we can supply as an optional extra a
waste pipe, elbow and coupling. This is to be fitted to the
waste outlet casting to discharge the waste into a sink.
Having connected the water inlet, waste outlet and the
electrical supply, the machine is ready for operation.
Waste Disposal Adaptor *
The waste pipe can be connected direct to the drain. Gives
an additional water supply to the waste outlet to flush
away the sludge. Water Byelaws Scheme approved
product when connected to water header tank.
The waste disposal adaptor fits onto the waste outlet on
the side of the peeler. Ensure that the waste disposal
adaptor is vertical and securely in place.
(* available as optional extra)
Waste Disposal Adaptor Adjustments
Two adjusting screws and lock nuts are provided to adjust the water flow
through the machine. The top one controls the flow through the peeler and the
lower one controls the flow to the waste pipe.

Tundish *
The use of a tundish meets the requirements
of water regulations G19.1, G19.3 & G19.4
contained in “The Water Supply Regulations
1999” and the “Water Byelaws 2000
(Scotland)”.
The Metcalfe tundish is a WRAS approved
(WRAS1001007) type AA air gap.
The tundish is fitted in place of the standard
water inlet supplied with all Metcalfe peelers.
(* available as optional extra)
Trolley Installation *
The peeler can be mounted onto a trolley. If purchased, this
would be supplied in separate packing.
Secure the trolley castors into place.
Place the peeler onto the base of the trolley. (If required
the peeler can be secured to the trolley by removing the
rubber feet and drilling holes in the base of the trolley to
secure the peeler into place).
(* available as optional extra)
Pedestal Installation *
If the peeler is to be mounted onto a pedestal it must be secured to the floor
as follows:
Place the peeler on the pedestal, move the whole
unit into the desired position, and mark around the
outside of the pedestal on the floor.
Remove the peeler from the top of the pedestal.
Re-position the pedestal back into the desired
location using the mark previously made.
Fixing holes are located on the base of the pedestal.
Mark through these holes onto the floor. Drill holes at
these marks and secure the pedestal using rawl bolts.
Fasten the pedestal to the floor using these fittings.
(* available as optional extra)

MAINTENANCE
Other than regular cleaning Metcalfe Potato Peelers require no maintenance by
the end user.
HOW TO ADJUST DOOR CAM
If the door becomes loose during operation, a door cam is fitted in order for
the operator to retighten the door.
1. Undo nut underneath to loosen the cam.
2. Turn the door cam into position so that the door is
closed securely in place.
3. Retighten the nut to secure the door cam into its new and correct position.
DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove rubber lid and top casting
2. Undo rotor plate fixing screw and remove rotor plate
3. Unscrew sweeper casting and remove
4. Turn machine upside down, and remove v-belt
5. Release locking nut & screw which holds the pulley in place and remove
pulley
6. Knock out spindle down into the peeling chamber
7. Undo the three screws which hold the bearing retainer washer, located
underneath the pulley, and remove
8. Stand machine back upright & take out the spindle assembly. (The spindle
is threaded onto the sweeper. If difficulty is being experienced in removing
the sweeper, it may be necessary to place the spindle in a vice to be able
to release it from the sweeper).
9. If needs be, remove any remaining part of the bearings on the spindle and
inside the peeling chamber housing, if original spindle is to be reused.
DO NOT RE-USE SPINDLE IF THERE ARE DEEP SCRATCHES ON IT.

9 | P a g e
HOW TO REPLACE SHAFT & BEARING ASSEMBLY
1. Turn the machine upside down and fit the bottom bearing into the housing
from underneath the machine, ensuring it is flush with the base of the
peeler.
2. Stand the machine back upright and fit the first bearing along with the
bearing spacing collar onto the shaft.
3. Fit the second bearing along with the bearing spacing collar on to the shaft,
and fit shaft through the first bearing, from inside the unit. Tap the shaft
gently into place with a mallet, making sure that the bearing is fitted
properly (the bearing should be flush with the casting or just below it).
4. Turn the machine upside down and refit the bearing retaining washer,
securing it with the three screws.
5. Fit the deflector disc to the shaft (turned down outer edge facing
downwards), securing with the silicon adhesive supplied. Allow to dry for 24
hours.
6. Turn the machine upside down and refit the pulley and belt.
7. Stand the machine back upright and fit the oil seal over the shaft, so that it
is flush with the deflector disc.
8. Re-screw the sweeper and fit the rotor plate back into place, securing with
the rotor plate fixing screw.
9. Refit the top casting and rubber lid.

10 | P a g e
TENSIONING V-BELT
1. Turn machine on its front so that the motor is on top and the machine is
sitting on its door (if a guarded discharge chute is fitted please remove
before attempting this).
2. Lubricate supply cable with washing-up liquid. Pull cable through cable
grommet into the motor cover (enough to allow removal of the motor
cover).
3. Loosen the four nuts holding the motor
4. Tensioning of the belt can be done by adjusting the four nuts located under
the base of the motor
5. Once you have the correct tension, tighten the four nuts holding the motor
6. Refit the motor cover, and pull the cable back through
