How Do They Mass Peel Garlic?

Garlic is a common and important raw material, widely used in the production of condiments, pickled foods, sauces and other products. However, the skin of garlic is relatively tough, and manual peeling is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also the peeling effect is unstable, affecting the efficiency of subsequent processing. So how do they mass peel garlic? In large-scale processing scenarios, garlic peeling machines are usually used to increase production capacity and reduce labor costs.

Limitations of manual peeling

  1. Traditionally, garlic peeling usually relies on manual operation. Although this method is simple, it has the following obvious problems:
  2. Low efficiency: skilled workers can peel at most dozens of kilograms per hour, which is difficult to meet the needs of mass production;
  3. High labor intensity: peeling garlic for a long time will irritate the skin of fingers and operators will easily get tired.
  4. Incomplete peeling: manual peeling is prone to residual skin and damaged garlic cloves.
  5. High cost: a large number of workers are required, which increases labor costs.

how do factory mass peel garlic?

1. Clove separation: The whole head of garlic is first processed by a garlic clove separator. The machine uses a silicone roller or a roller mechanism to separate the garlic head into single cloves by squeezing and vibrating. This step lays the foundation for subsequent peeling.

2. Garlic drying

In order to improve the efficiency of peeling, some factories will properly dry or dry the garlic to remove moisture from the surface of the garlic cloves, making the skin crispy and convenient for subsequent peeling.

3. Automatic peeling

This is the key link in the whole process. Compressed air and friction devices are used to quickly peel the garlic and automatically separate the garlic skin and garlic cloves.

Advantages of automatic garlic peeling

  1. Improve efficiency: daily output can reach several tons, greatly improving processing speed.
  2. Reduce costs: greatly reduce dependence on labor.
  3. Clean peeling: peeling rate can reach more than 95%.
  4. Protect the integrity of garlic cloves: maintain the original shape of garlic cloves and not easily damaged.
