A Prototype of Automated Chayote Peeling Machine

Fruit peeling seems a simple performance, but it is the consist of many elements such as the peeler, the way we grasp and move the blade and cutting speed, etc. - all these factors play a role, and interact with each other. This paper describes the prototype of a chayote peeling machine. The machine has been designed with a simple and low-cost approach. To improve chayote peeling rate and ensure pulp quality, a proposed structure was designed, manufactured and tested in laboratory. The experimental results are examined to demonstrate the efficiency of the peeling machine. It proves that the proposed machine could be widely applied in the fruit peeling technology
