Garlic Peeler Machine
A Garlic Peeling Machine is a specialized piece of equipment that uses Compressed
Air Technology to peel garlic cloves without damaging the surface.1
This is critical for commercial use because traditional "wet" peeling
or friction peeling often bruises the garlic, leading to a shorter shelf life.
For a processing capacity of 100 kg/hr to 500 kg/hr, a "Dry
Type" pneumatic peeler is the industry standard.

2. The 3-Step Process for High Capacity
To achieve 500 kg/hr, the garlic must go through three distinct
machines:
- Garlic Bulb
Breaker (Splitter): Uses soft silicone rollers to break the whole bulb
into individual cloves without crushing them.
- Elevator/Conveyor:
Moves the cloves into the peeler hopper.
- Peeling
Machine: A high-pressure air blast "blows" the skin off the
clove instantly. The skin is sucked out by a fan, and the clean garlic
falls into a tray.2
3. Key Features to Look For
- Silicone
Rollers: Ensure the bulb breaker uses high-grade food-grade silicone to
prevent "bruising" (which turns garlic brown after 2 days).
- Automatic
Discharge: Modern machines in Ahmedabad feature a timer-based discharge,
ensuring the garlic stays in the peeling chamber only as long as
necessary.
- Built-in Dust Collector: Garlic skins are very light and can create a mess. Look for a machine with an integrated cyclone or bag to collect the skin.
