【 摘 要 】

The peeling-machine of dry areca nut is currently not working optimally. The nuts remained unpeeled properly since the machine is not equipped with an automatic power breaker as the peeler process has been completed or the machine life time is continuously. Undoubtedly, this is less efficient and wasteful of energy. From this point of views, it is necessary to conduct advanced research on appropriate technology to modify the peeling-machine so that it can peel dry areca nuts to the maximum for all available sizes. The research method includes the assembly of areca peeling-machine with a modification of the angle between the two cutters' blades, the dimensions of the main cutter shape 191 mm in diameter cylinders that can be arranged into 12 cutters function as a peeler and a second cutter 163 mm in diameter with 20 cutters function towards the skin through the exhaust channel, rotation in the equal direction of 800 rpm. The peeler process is set to the angle between the two cutters' blades and directed to the further process so that the dried areca nut that has been cut can be separated between the seeds and the skin. That is the expected result of the peeling-machine that can peel the dry areca nuts for all sizes optimally.
