Abstract
The design and construction of the dried betel nut peeling machine consists of the main components including a thorn peeler and a groove peeler to separate husk and kernel. There is a conveyor belt for dried betel nut to both peelers. The maximum performance of the dried betel nut peeling machine uses a 1 hp motor. The appropriate ratio between the driver and the follower of the thorn peeler and the groove peeler is 1:1.5 and 1:3, respectively. It can peel 9.7, 5.5, and 0.8 kg/hour of good-quality betel nut, broken betel nut, and incomplete-peeling betel nut, respectively, or 63, 36, and 1 percent, respectively. When the dried betel nut peeling machine is used, the payback period is 3.8 months.
