There are many ways to peel off the garlic, one of the most common ways to removed them is by using hands. The traditional hand peeling garlic method is very tedious and take a lot of time to peel a garlic. The pungent smell of garlic will make the uncomfortable for user's eyes and hands. Therefore, the objective of this project is to design a garlic peeling machine by using Solidwork software and to reduce the cost of machine used. This peeler will be equipped with a silicone blade which provide high friction to unpeel the garlic skin. Besides that, the mechanism used are gear for the blade to rotate. Methodology, by using standard design process flow, the research scopes involved of gathering information from the previous research and market survey, generate idea concepts which use Morphological Chart. After idea generation, the final design was selected using Pugh Chart. The final selection has been made through all the process that involve from gathering information to fabricate a garlic peeler machine. Without any expectation, countless problems must be overcome in order for this project to succeed; ergo, solutions must be identified beforehand. There are a few key factors that ensures the project's success; discussion with supervisor, engineer assistance and friends. To summarize, this project's success will benefit individuals and give comfort in everyday life.
