“Our unique vertical peeling system in the machines keeps the asparagus in a vertical position throughout the entire process, which protects the delicate head and ensures a consistently high peeling quality. In addition, compared to conventional peeling systems, the asparagus can no longer twist, so the spear is perfectly and evenly peeled,” explains Christoph Wolter, Managing Director of HEPRO GmbH. “Our customers can now peel up to 9,600 spears per hour, depending on the model, with a diameter of 8 to 36 mm. The new XL version offers flexibility and allows for the efficient processing of thicker asparagus spears, which significantly expands the machines’ range of applications.”

The high peeling quality of all machines eliminates the need for a follow-up inspection, which can result in significant savings in personnel costs. “Our new innovations not only make the machines more powerful, but also significantly more efficient and more economical in their use of resources,” emphasizes Wolter. “For example, we were able to reduce water consumption during the peeling process by two-thirds, which is advantageous both economically and ecologically.”

HEPRO-1800 XL: precision and efficiency for the farm shop
The HEPRO-1800 XL is a state-of-the-art peeling machine designed specifically for professional use in farm shops. With a peeling loss of around 22% to 25%, the machine works so precisely that no rework is necessary, which increases efficiency and quality. Thanks to the vertical peeling technology, the asparagus is fixed at the head, which prevents it from rotating during the peeling process and ensures an even peeling result. “With the HEPRO-1800 XL, we offer farm shops a solution that can be seamlessly integrated into the daily work of specialist staff and saves resources without compromising on quality,” explains Wolter.

spargel to go: a farm shop machine for white and green asparagus
The asparagus-to-go machine, originally developed for supermarkets, has also proved very popular in farm shops thanks to its flexibility and the positive feedback from the shops. The machine reliably peels both white and green asparagus and is characterized by its high peeling quality and small footprint of just 0.34 square meters. It allows customers to peel the asparagus themselves, creating an interactive experience that contributes to customer loyalty, especially in farm shops. Christoph Wolter describes the potential of this innovation: “With the asparagus to go, we offer a cost-effective solution that integrates asparagus processing directly into the sales process and offers customers an experience. This machine will establish itself in the coming years in comparison to conventional processes in farm shops and open up new sales potentials.”

Thanks to the optimized price-performance ratio, the spargel to go is an affordable extension for sales outlets. The machine peels with a minimal loss of about 22%, even with crooked stems, and thus offers high efficiency and quality. “No consumer wants to have a strip of peel in their mouth,” emphasizes Wolter, underlining the precision of the peeling quality.
