A mechanical peeler cum juice extractor was
designed and developed for simultaneous peeling and juice
extraction of kinnow and sweet orange fruits. Based on the
designed components and prior optimization of operational
parameters for peeling of both the fruits, a functional
machine was developed. Major components of the machine
include spur gear assembly (U 102 mm and U 76 mm), two
fruit holders (U 30 mm), revolving shaft with length
570 mm, clearance of the tool for peeling 25 mm and
cutting knife with length 80 mm, respectively. This peeler
was operated using a motor, gear assembly and the combination
of pulleys. The juice extractor was also fitted with
a conical hopper having a flattened base to facilitate the
juice extraction of peeled fruits. For performance evaluation,
fruit rotation speed was considered as independent
parameter and was varied at 220, 260, 280, 300, 360 rpm,
whereas peeling time (s), peeling efficiency (%), peel
remained on fruit (%) and juice loss (%) were taken as
dependent parameters. The machine resulted in best performance
at fruit rotational speed of 220 rpm (kinnow) and
260 rpm (sweet orange) with higher peeling efficiency and
minimum juice loss. The capacity for peeling and juicing
operation was 60–90 kg/h (kinnow) and 50–60 kg/h (sweet
orange), respectively. This composite peeling cum juice
extractor machine can find its applicability in cottage citrus fruit juice processing industries as well as for the
domestic juice sellers.
