Design and Development of Shallots Skin Peeler Machine

Shallot has been used as one of the ingredients in Malaysian food. One of the step in shallot preparation before start cooking is peeling the shallot skin. However, peeling process become more complicated and take longer time if cook in more quantity. Therefore, this project is intended to overcome the stated problem by designing and developing a Shallots Skin Peeler Machine. The designed machine has following a basic design process started from identification of needs, conceptual design, embodiment design and detail design. Meanwhile, for proof-of-concept testing, the proposed machine concept has been developed to test the functionality and capability. Several activities have been included in discussion. As a summary, the Shallots Skin Peeler Machine has been successfully designed and verified based on the proof-of-concept testing. This machine can be used for peeling the shallot skin with a good condition and suitable for home or individual purpose and also can do bigger task if the size of the machine is scaling up depend on the required shallot’s quantity.
