When performance is everything
Aurora Borealis Series for Industrial Vegetable Peeling
Aurora Borealis peelers deliver high-yield knife peeling for processors who require consistent results at scale. Their controlled knife geometry removes only the thinnest peel layer, which improves usable output and reduces waste.
Precision Knife Technology with Measurable Yield Benefits
Engineered for accuracy
Aurora Borealis peelers use synchronized knife movement and drum control to maintain even contact with the product. This ensures predictable peeling depth and stable performance in continuous production.

Forsfood peelers:
Nordic precision for global food processing
Knife technology that protects your yield
Forsfood peelers use controlled knife geometry that removes the thinnest possible peel layer. The result is higher usable output per kilogram of raw material and a consistent peel profile across every batch. Knife movement, pressure and drum speed are engineered for stable performance even in demanding 24/7 environments.
- Minimal peel loss for maximum yield
- Even and predictable knife contact
- Stable performance in continuous production
- Suited for potatoes, root vegetables and similar products
Designed for continuous industrial use
The Aurora Borealis and Classic peelers are based on heavy-duty frames, reliable mechanics and easy-clean surfaces. Components are accessible for maintenance, and machines can be configured for different capacities or peeling profiles. Forsfood technologies are used by processors who require long service life and predictable operation.
- Rugged construction for industrial loads
- Fast access for cleaning and maintenance
- Configurable peeling profiles
- Ideal for integration into full processing lines
Frequently Asked Questions from peelers
Which peeler model is right for potatoes vs. carrots?
For potatoes, knife or combination peelers deliver smooth surfaces with low peel loss. For carrots and mixed root crops, abrasive or combination models handle shape variability efficiently.
What capacities do Forsfood peelers cover?
From small plants to high-capacity factories. Typical lines range ~1–6 t/h depending on raw material, peel removal target and line configuration.
How do you ensure hygiene and easy cleaning?
Open stainless-steel frames, sloped surfaces, minimal horizontal ledges and tool-free access. CIP options and washdown-safe components are available.
Can the peeler integrate into an existing processing line?
Yes. Infeed/outfeed heights, conveyors and controls are configurable for retrofit. We provide line-layout support and connection interfaces.
What about wear parts and maintenance?
Knife sets, abrasive liners and seals are service-friendly and readily available. Predictable maintenance intervals keep uptime high and life-cycle cost low.
What utilities are required?
Standard 3-phase power (spec varies by model) and process water. We supply detailed utility specs during quotation to match your site.
Do you offer trials or product testing?
We can evaluate your raw material and target peel removal to recommend the optimal configuration, and arrange testing when needed.
Lead times and documentation?
Lead time depends on configuration. All machines ship with CE documentation and operating/maintenance manuals.
