Design and analysis of garlic peeler machine

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design and analysis of a Garlic Peeling Machine. The traditional hand peeling garlic method is very tedious and time-consuming work once a bulk quantity of garlic to be peeled, especially for restaurants. The pungent smell of garlic will make the uncomfortable for user‟s hands and eyes. Hence, the goals to be achieved in this project are to design a garlic peeling machine to replace the manual working in order to reduce the time taken compared to the hand peeling method. The project scopes involved of design and generate idea concepts, simulation and analysis structure and undergo experiment. The process flow of this project begins according to the standard design process flow. A survey was conducted to collect the customer‟s requirements. After idea generation, the final concept was selected using Pugh method and Weighted method. Simulation of fluid flow was carried out using CAD software. Through testing prototype, the efficiency of garlic peeling machine was calculated and it has been proven that the peeling time using by garlic peeling machine is shorten than using bare hand.
