Power driven potato peeler Mohammed Temam

Peeling of potato manually dangerous to hand and there is also problem on quality and time consuming to peel in bulk. Therefore to solve these problems designing, manufacturing performance evaluation of power operated potato peeling machine is needed. Potato peeling machine was designed, manufactured, developed and evaluated to suit the small and medium processing units. From the previous work, it is clear that the hand peeling process is very tedious, time consuming work and costly as well, therefore, the main aim of this study is to design, fabricate and evaluate potato peeling machine from local available raw materials to assure high quality, high peeling efficiency and losses reduction with low cost. This machine will be used in small and medium production units, such as restaurants, hotels and small potato dryers.
