Abstract

General Background the increasing demand for automation in the food processing industry requires the development of efficient technologies that can enhance productivity and ensure food safety. Specific Background the peeling of garlic is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, often leading to contamination, thus highlighting the need for innovative solutions in garlic processing. Knowledge Gap existing peeling methods are less automated, creating a gap in the availability of efficient technology for garlic peeling that maintains hygiene standards. Aims this research aims to design and develop an automatic garlic peeler that effectively integrates mechanical, pneumatic, and electrical components to optimize the peeling process. Results experimental findings show that at a minimum pressure of 1 bar, this tool can peel an average of 28.6 grams of garlic from 812 grams, while at a maximum pressure of 5 bars, it can peel 240.6 grams. PNovelty the use of stainless steel 316 in the design provides corrosion resistance, ensuring food safety during the peeling process, which is a new approach in the context of automatic food processing technology. Implications this research contributes to advancements in food processing automation, offering insights into the integration of pneumatic systems that can enhance efficiency in culinary practices and improve hygiene standards in food handling. Highlights: The design integrates mechanical, pneumatic, and electrical components for optimal performance. Peak peeling efficiency achieved at 4 bar pressure, processing 241.3 grams of garlic in 15 seconds. Use of stainless steel 316 ensures corrosion resistance and maintains food safety standards.

Abstract

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is an eco-friendly process known for high-quality joints without filler metal. This study investigated the physical properties of FSW-welded joints in AA6061-T651 aluminum alloy by varying the concave shoulder angle. Optimal process parameters were determined through Taguchi optimization using an Orthogonal Array design. Macro and micro testing revealed overlap defects, kissing bond defects, and wormholes in some samples. Systematic experimentation identified key parameters to avoid defects, including tool rotation speed, welding speed, tool tilt angle, tool indentation angle, and shoulder depth. Visual inspection and microstructural analysis played a crucial role in assessing weld quality. Optimizing welding parameters, such as rotational speed, welding speed, temperature, and tool geometry, was highlighted as crucial for defect-free joints. The study offers valuable insights for researchers and professionals in the field, promoting the advancement and application of FSW in aluminum alloy welding. Highlight: FSW: An environmentally friendly welding process with good joint quality. Defect Analysis: Identification of overlap defects, kissing bond defects, and wormholes in welded joints. Process Optimization: Determination of optimal parameters to avoid defects, including tool rotation speed, welding speed, tool tilt angle, tool indentation angle, and shoulder depth.
