Types of onion peeler machine
When it comes to onion peeling machines, there’s a variety of options tailored to meet different operational needs in the onion processing industry. Here are some of the most common types:
Air compression onion peelers
These machines use controlled air pressure to blast away the outer layers of skin, effectively separating them from the tasty part of the onion.
Abrasive onion peeling machines
These rely on abrasive surfaces or rollers to scrub off the onion skins. They work through friction, gently rubbing away the outer layers.
Water-based onion peeling equipment
These machines use water immersion or steam to soften the onion skin, making it much easier to peel off either by hand or with mechanical assistance.




How to use an onion peeling machine?
The onion peeling machine is designed to peel onions using a high-pressure rotating air stream created by a powerful air pump located above it. It features a chain conveyor bin-type structure for peeling. The high-pressure airflow swiftly strips away the outer skin as the onions are transported to the peeling bin via the chain.
Pneumatic peeling technology
The equipment generates compressed air through an air compressor, which forms a high-speed air vortex through the jet pipe, precisely impacting the onion skin gaps to peel off the entire layer of the skin.
Mechanical pre-treatment and synergy
The rotating friction pre-destroys the skin structure, which reduces the difficulty of peeling by airflow. The peeling rotor has built-in peeling blades, which cut through the skin of the onion during centrifugal rolling, and then blow off the loose skin with high pressure airflow.
Dynamic cycle and automatic control
The equipment adopts chain conveying bin or roller continuous feeding, onion in traveling in order to Positioning, peeling and discharging processes are completed. Suitable for different varieties and specifications, the damage rate can be controlled at less than 5%.
Non-contact dry processing
The whole process does not require washing or chemical soaking and relies on purely physical peeling technology. The onion surface can be dried directly into the next processing stage, avoiding waste of resources and secondary pollution.
