Onion Peeler Machine
An Onion Peeler Machine for industrial use differs from garlic peelers
in its ability to handle larger sizes and thicker skins. For a capacity of 100
kg/hr to 1,000 kg/hr, you can choose between a Batch Type (for small units) or
a Continuous Chain-Type (for high-volume factories).
Just like garlic, onion peeling is a Dry Process that uses a
high-pressure swirling airflow to remove the skin without damaging the edible
part.1

3. The "Onion Processing Line" Flow
To achieve 1,000 kg/hr efficiently, the peeling machine is often
combined with other units:
- Onion Root
& Tail Cutter: Automatically cuts both ends of the onion
- Elevator:
Moves cut onions to the peeler.
- Onion
Peeler: Removes the outer skin using air.
- Inspection
Conveyor: Manual check for any unpeeled spots.
- Dicer/Slicer:
(Optional) If you are making onion paste, rings, or flakes.
