Analysis of Performance of an Air-Type Garlic Peeler for its Optimum Design

Recently, a garlic peeler with high performance is being demanded due to increase of consumption of peeled garlic. Although the air type out of various types of garlic peelers is recommended to remove effectively skin of garlic, it has an important problem of large energy consumption. This study was performed to analyze performance of an air-type garlic peeler for its optimum design. Performance indices to represent performance of garlic peeler include peeling ratio, energy efficiency and peeling performance. The factors such as aperture of nozzle, angle and position of air injection, charge rate of garlic, peeling time and so on must be considered to design optimally an air-type garlic peeler.
