Abstract
This study was conducted to design and manufacture a final prototype of garlic separator and to evaluate its performance. The performance of garlic separation was compared with manual separation. The final prototype for garlic separation consists of bucked-elevator device for automatic feed of garlic, rotating cone typed device, blower, and power transmission device. The optimal condition of outlet clearance was 19 mm and in this clearance, the proportions of fragment garlic separated in the large quality of Namdo garlic and all quality of Uiseong garlic were above 95% and above 85%, respectively. All proportion of damaged garlic was below 5% for all variety and quality. The garlic separation capacities of this developed machine were 310 kg/h for Namdo garlic and 293.6 kg/h for Uiseong garlic in the large quality. Capacities of final prototype compared with human being were $12.9{\sim}19.6$ times for Namdo and $24.2{\sim}31.7$ times Uiseong garlic, respectively.
