Fully Automatic Chain Type Garlic Peeling Machine

The fully automatic chain type garlic peeling machine is capable of continuous operation, has a high peeling rate, causes minimal damage to the garlic cloves and is easy to operate and maintain. It enables food processing enterprises to greatly improve the efficiency of their garlic pre-processing and thus provides a solid foundation of raw material for the processing that follows.

Working Principle of the Fully Automatic Garlic Peeling Machine:

The fundamental principle of the machine is to use compressed air to separate the skin from the cloves rather than using some form of rigid mechanical friction to strip the skin off.

First the pre-processed garlic is fed into the machine's feed section in accordance with the machine's requirements. An internal stainless steel chain conveyor system then carries the garlic cloves along a set path as they move continuously into the peeling chamber.

Once the garlic gets into the peeling zone the equipment uses a jet of compressed air directed at the surface of the cloves. This causes the outer skins (which have been attached to the cloves up till that point) to slowly loosen and come away. As it's not a process which relies on high levels of rigid mechanical friction the natural shape of the clove is very well maintained with minimal crushing or scratching.

Once peeling is complete the garlic cloves are discharged from the machine and the skins are either collected via a separate collection system or removed. The process is continuous so there is no requirement for the manual handling that would otherwise be necessary if you were peeling the garlic by hand.

Features of Fully Automatic Chain type Garlic Peeling Machine:

1. Chain based conveying to meet the requirements of continuous production.

The fully automatic garlic peeling machine uses a chain conveyor so that the garlic can be fed in continuously through the peeling section and then automatically discharged once it's been processed. As opposed to the manual, one piece at a time method, this continuous conveyance greatly reduces the amount of idle time and improves the overall efficiency of the process.

2. High peeling rate, improving the efficiency of raw material processing

Given ideal raw material conditions, air pressure and equipment operating parameters the equipment can achieve a peeling rate of up to 95%. The higher the peeling rate the less incompletely peeled material there will be and the less touch up peeling will be required.

3. Minimise damage to the garlic cloves and reduce the amount of raw material waste

The chain type garlic peeler uses an air blast peeling method. It avoids the use of high levels of abrasive friction which in turn reduces the risk of damaging the garlic.

Equipment Installation and Commissioning Requirements:

To ensure the automatic chain type garlic peeler operates stably the site conditions must be checked prior to installation.

Installation site: the garlic peeling machine may be sited on a level, stable floor (in accordance with the factory layout) or on a concrete foundation as per the required specifications. The site must be well ventilated and there must be adequate space available for operation, maintenance and cleaning.

Installation prerequisites: Prior to installation you must confirm that the power supply is as per the equipment specification and that the compressed air system is adequate for the operational requirements. You must also have the requisite installation tools available and a site safety inspection carried out.

Staffing: standard installation and commissioning will require 1 to 2 people (the actual number required will be dependent on the equipment in question, the site conditions and the overall workload).
