2、. Singh* revised version received 13 June 1994; accepted 3 October 1994) ABSTRACT For the processing of potatoes in any form, removal of peel is an important unit operation. Hence, a power operated batch type potat

3、o peeler was developed and its pegormance was evaluated. The main parts of the machine are a peeling drum and a water spraying unit. The peeling drum with protrusions on the inside surface rotates and detaches

4、peel from potatoes by abrasion. The water spraying unit washes the potatoes and simultaneously peel is removed from the drum through the perforation along with the flow of water: The capacity of the machine is 100 k

5、glh with a peeling ejjiciency and peel losses of 78% and 6%, respectively. The machine costs around Rs 6500.00 ($250) along with an electric motor and is suitable for a small scale processor of potato chips and oth

6、er products. The estimated cost of peeling of 1 ton potatoes is only Rs 100.00 ($3.85). NOTATION 4 Equivalent diameter (mm) L, B, T Length, breadth and thickness, respectively of the tuber (mm) ; Peeling efficiency
