System Engineering Description & Technical Scope

Plant Architecture
Processing Solutions for Fresh Garlic Cloves

Engineered specifically for commercial garlic processing facilities, this line automates the entire sequence from intact garlic bulbs to spotless, peeled cloves ready for export or food manufacturing. Utilizing silicone-roller bulb separation and high-pressure vortex pneumatic peeling, the system achieves over 98% peeling efficiency with zero water consumption and zero physical bruising.

Key System Features

  • Zero Damage Peeling: Pure air vortex peeling leaves clove surface smooth and unblemished.
  • Bulb Clove Breaker: Elastic silicone rubber rollers adjust to various bulb calibers without crushing cloves.
  • Automated Inspection: High-resolution optical color sorters automatically reject blemished or diseased cloves.

End-to-End Processing Flowchart & Stage Pipeline

Automated Continuous Flow

The processing line operates as an uninterrupted sanitary sequence. Raw agricultural produce transitions through sequential mechanical, hydraulic, and thermal treatment zones synchronized by Siemens variable-speed frequency drives:

STAGE 01

Bulb Splitting & Sizing

Input: Intact Garlic Bulbs

Silicone rubber breaking rollers gently split whole heads into individual intact cloves without physical skin crushing.

STAGE 02

Airflow Husk Separation

State: Cloves + Loose Husk

Negative pressure cyclonic exhaust fans draw out papery outer skins and discarded root stems into collection bins.

STAGE 03

Pneumatic Jet Peeling

State: 98%+ Clean Peeled Cloves

Pulsed high-pressure dry compressed air chambers cleanly blast away inner membranous garlic skins without water usage.

STAGE 04

Disinfection Bubble Wash

State: Stickiness Removed

Sanitary stainless bubble washing tank rinses away natural allicin pungency and remaining microscopic skin fragments.

STAGE 05

Optical Defect Sorting

State: Grade-A Clove Inspection

High-definition industrial color sorting cameras reject yellowed, spotted, insect-damaged or unpeeled garlic cloves.

STAGE 06

Airflow Drying & Vacuum Pack

Output: Commercial Foodservice Packs

Continuous mesh belt surface drying followed by clean-room nitrogen vacuum bag sealing or plastic jar filling.
