Design, Experimentation and Performance Testing of Innovative Potato Processor

Abstract

The development of the potato peeling machine was based on the modification of previous potato peeler and the peeling principle. Assumptions and references are taken for designing the Potato peeling machine is based on market research and survey. literature survey reveal that food processing industries in India have launched massive expansion/ modernization programs with a view to adopt modern technology which is energy efficient, cost effective and environment friendly The design calculation of Potato peeling machine is done. For designing the Potato peeling machine, various design parameters are required such as speed of drum, design of pulley and belt, design of transmission shaft, etc This paper shows all calculation for modernizeds potato peeler. This proposed updation in potato peeler could alleviate the problems faced by conventional and traditional potato peeling methods which helps in boosting the processing and export of potato products.
