Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has been used as a food, a condiment, and for medicinal purposes for over many centuries. The typical physical characteristics of garlic cloves make the peeling to be very tedious and time-consuming operation. Considering the increasing demand for garlic products in domestic and export market, a low cost garlic clove peeler was developed and its performance was evaluated. The developed garlic clove peeler consisted of a 130 mm diameter, 400 mm long peeling chamber mounted on a mild steel (MS) angle frame. The top portion of the pressure chamber was connected with a 40 mm diameter reducer to separate the thin husk from the peeled material. A 10 mm galvanized iron (GI) pipe was inserted and positioned at a height of 60 mm from the top surface of the garlic bed to flow the air from the compressor. The peeling efficiency of 97.6 percent was observed with peeling time of 70 s for a batch of 500 g.
