Peeling butternut squash is a tedious process when done by hand. The RJW Automated Butternut Squash Peeler was developed as an efficient alternative for peeling both squash and turnips.
Our peeler allows for neater and cleaner removal of the squash’s outer skin as well as a thinner peel, leaving more of the vegetable intact.
This machine can peel 305 pounds of squash an hour, based on a 3 to 3.5 pound butternut squash, with a 97% product yield. Peeled by hand, up to 40% of the squash can end up as waste.
Based on a $9.00 per hour wage scale, 5,000 gross pounds of butternut squash would cost $1,218.75
to peel by hand. With the RJW Automated Butternut Squash Peeler that same 5,000 gross pounds only costs $406.25; a $812.50 weekly savings! That is a 431% annual return on investment meaning the machine pays for itself after three months of peeling.
