Abstract

An aril on the outside of the Torreya grandis Merrillii fruit must be removed when processing the Merrillii nuts. At present, the T. grandis Merrillii fruit is usually placed in rotten compost and peeled by hand. Since rotten aril cannot be reused, this is inefficient. In addition, decay allows aril liquid to seep into the shell producing spoiled nuts and reducing their quality and commercial value. Therefore, development of an automatic peeling device to improve T. grandis Merrillii production efficiency and make full use of its economic value, would be beneficial. Based on the physical parameters from three sources of T. grandis Merrillii （Shaoxing, Shengzhou, and Linan）, and the data of stress and transmogrification obtained by experimentation of the locomotion and force. Peeling parts and equipment was designed and analyzed. A peeling experiment then showed a high production efficiency for this machine with a peeling rate over 98.5% and a breakage rate of less than 1.5%. Peeling efficiency depended on maturity of T. grandis Merrillii, motor speed, and spacing between the peeling strips and the rings of the wall. ［Ch, 6 fig. 2 tab. 25 ref.］
