Development And Preliminary Testing Of A Ginger Peeling Machine
ABSTRACT
Peeling is one of the essential
unit operations in processing ginger. Manual peeling is inefficient and it is
associated with drudgery, hence, a motorized ginger peeling machine (GPM) was
designed, fabricated and tested. The GPM consists of a drum eccentrically
mounted on a shaft rotating at a speed of 90rpm This speed of rotation was
achieved by means of pulley and belt arrangement. The paddle on the rotatory
shaft inside the drum serves as the abrasion where the peeling is done. The
peeling efficiency is 65.99 % and the breakage of ginger is 35.96% while %flesh
loss of ginger of the machine' is 9.96%
