Inside a Modern Garlic Factory: How Thousands of Tons are Peeled by Air (Full Process)

In this video, we take you inside a Modern Garlic Factory to see How It's Made

Ever wondered how factories peel millions of garlic cloves without using a single knife? We’ve all struggled to peel a sticky clove in the kitchen, but when you need to process 50 tons a day, manual labor isn't an option. Welcome to the high-pressure world of modern garlic processing, where aerodynamics, thermal engineering, and computer vision come together to solve one of nature's stickiest problems.

In this documentary, we take you inside a massive industrial facility to witness the incredible "Dry Peeling" process. Unlike older methods that wasted millions of gallons of water, this modern factory uses high-velocity air jets (150 PSI) to blast the skins off in milliseconds. From the raw dirty bulbs arriving at the dock to the nitrogen-flushed packaging that keeps them fresh, see the entire end-to-end journey of the garlic clove.

*🏭 KEY PROCESSES EXPLAINED*

*Thermal Conditioning:* Before peeling, garlic is heated to approx 45°C. This dries the skin (making it brittle) and shrinks the clove slightly, breaking the microscopic bond between meat and skin.
*Air Peeling (The Vortex):* High-pressure air jets create a turbulent vortex inside rubber-lined chambers. The skin shatters like confetti while the clove remains unbruised.
*Optical Sorting:* Cameras detect discoloration or remaining skin spots down to the pixel level, and micro-jets of air shoot bad cloves out of the stream in milliseconds.
*Nitrogen Packing:* Oxygen is sucked out of the bag and replaced with Nitrogen to prevent the garlic from turning brown (oxidation).
