Abstract

Nowadays, people like to wasting their time and manpower to do simple chores even though many automatic machine have been invented. Such as, peeling potato, mostly people love to peel with knives rather than using automatic machine. However, peeling potatoes is a critical unit procedure in the potato processing industry. As a result, a semi-automated potato peeler and slicer machine was designed and created. Then, a semi-automatic potato peeler machine will be created for small-scale/household use. The major goals of this research were to improve current mechanical peeling methods and develop innovative mechanical ways for skinned vegetables that are near to "ideal" peeling circumstances using mechanical characteristics of the product. The machine's accuracy was evaluated using three locally grown potato varieties of different sizes: size A, size B, and size C. The peeling process was recreated in a mathematical model, and the main influencing factors were found. The parameters are either connected to the product or to the peeler. These parameters manifested themselves as coefficients in a linear regression model.
