Potato press WAS DE1231517641 62 cm manual stainless-steel perforated plate

The WAS DE1231517641 manual potato press features a 62 cm stainless-steel perforated pressing plate designed to convert cooked potatoes into consistent mash or purée. Built for commercial and large-scale kitchens, the press provides a hygienic stainless-steel surface and a robust manual mechanism that allows controlled pressing without electricity. The perforated plate ensures even texture and reduced clumping, while the full-length pressing plate covers more surface area for faster processing of large batches.

Advantages

The stainless-steel construction offers corrosion resistance and easy cleaning suitable for frequent use in food-service environments. The large 62 cm perforated plate increases throughput by processing a wider area per stroke, reducing labour time. The manual operation provides precise pressure control and low maintenance since it does not rely on electrical components. The design focuses on hygienic food contact surfaces and durability for prolonged commercial use.

Suitable for

• Restaurant kitchens processing mashed potatoes for service
• Catering operations preparing large quantities of potato purée
• Food production lines needing manual or backup pressing equipment
• Institutional kitchens in hospitals, schools, or canteens

Key specifications

• Pressing plate material: stainless steel
• Pressing plate width: 62 cm
• Pressing surface: perforated for consistent texture
• Operation: manual (non-electric)
• Intended use: commercial and large-scale food preparation
• Sanitary finish for food-contact surfaces

How to use

Ensure cooked potatoes are drained and at an appropriate temperature for pressing. Place a portion of cooked potatoes onto the perforated plate and apply the manual lever or mechanism according to the unit’s design to press potatoes through the perforations. Collect the mash or purée on a clean surface or receptacle positioned beneath the plate. For continuous processing, work in batches and avoid overfilling the pressing area to maintain consistent texture and prevent excessive force on the mechanism.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean and sanitize all stainless-steel surfaces after each shift to maintain hygiene and prevent food residue build-up. Use properly cooked, well-drained potatoes to achieve optimal texture and reduce the risk of clogging. Inspect mechanical components periodically for wear and tighten fastenings as needed to ensure safe manual operation.
