Hobart 6460-1 Peeler
The Hobart 6460 Peeler is a heavy-duty commercial potato and vegetable peeler built for the highest-volume institutional foodservice operations — K-12 cafeterias, healthcare foodservice, correctional kitchens, catering commissaries, and full-service restaurants that peel hundreds of pounds of potatoes and root vegetables per meal cycle. The 6460 processes 50-60 pounds in one to three minutes with a 1 HP motor — letting kitchens size the peeler to their daily production without paying for capacity they don't need.
A silicon carbide abrasive disk permanently bonded to a lightweight fiberglass-reinforced plastic base delivers gentle, thorough peeling that minimizes waste and improves yield — putting more usable portions on the tray line and reducing food cost per meal. Two angle-mounted wipers move peeled waste positively toward the discharge chute, while a stainless steel drive shaft with grease-packed ball bearings and advanced triple-protection sealing keeps water out of the drive assembly for reliable long-term performance. The multigrip poly V-belt drive delivers direct speed reduction between motor and disk, and belt tension can be adjusted from outside the machine without disassembly.
Sanitation is engineered into the design. A rear-mounted air-gap water inlet meets plumbing codes and directs water onto the curved surface of the hopper cover, creating an interior self-cleaning fan pattern that prevents splash and rinses the peeling chamber throughout each cycle. A one-piece reinforced-plastic hopper cover locks positively and lifts off easily for cleaning, the NSF-approved removable Lexan liner comes out for tool-free deep cleaning between shifts, and the silicon carbide disk removes in seconds for full access to the chamber. Optional cabinet base and peel trap with a stainless steel strainer capture peel waste and let the peeler be positioned at 90° intervals relative to the trap for flexible installation in tight prep areas.
