A fully automatic, pneumatic onion peeling machine that blows off skins with compressed air — no water waste, no eye irritation, and minimal flesh damage. Food-grade stainless steel, auto feeding, and continuous production for food factories, central kitchens, and vegetable processing plants.
Watch onions feed in automatically, get skins blown off by compressed air, and emerge clean — dry, hygienic, and ready for processing.
Foodline Machinery's Onion Peeling Machine is a high-efficiency, fully automatic solution built for food factories, central kitchens, and vegetable processing plants. Made with food-grade stainless steel, it combines advanced dry air-blow peeling technology with simple operation.
The machine handles various onion types and sizes with over 95% peeling rate and minimal flesh damage. Unlike water-based methods, the dry peeling process eliminates water waste and secondary contamination, reducing material loss by up to 20%. The automatic feeding system ensures continuous production and cuts labor costs significantly.
Whole-process automatic feeding, peeling, and discharging. Continuous capacity is 10–20 times manual work — solving the labor shortage caused by onion eye irritation and high turnover.
Entire machine is food-grade stainless steel with detachable structure and no dead corners. Can be directly washed with water — meets hygiene standards and reduces daily maintenance.
Precise air-blow peeling removes skins thoroughly without damaging flesh. Material loss is reduced by up to 20%, maximizing raw material utilization and finished product appearance.
Handles all common onion varieties and size ranges without frequent part changes. 60–100mm diameter onions run at full capacity. Connects seamlessly with front and back processing lines.
Compressed air blows skins off instead of water washing. Eliminates water consumption, prevents secondary contamination, and produces dry, ready-to-process onions.
From the compact FL-A for small central kitchens to the continuous FL-C belt system for large plants — match the model to your throughput and factory layout.
Onions are loaded onto the infeed hopper. The automatic feeding belt delivers them evenly into the peeling chamber at a steady rate.
Inside the chamber, high-pressure compressed air flow blows off the onion skins. The pneumatic principle removes outer layers without touching or bruising the flesh.
Peeled onions exit onto the discharge conveyor, ready for cutting, slicing, or further processing. Skins are collected separately for disposal.

Compact cabinet model. Best for small central kitchens and low-volume peeling needs.

Auto-feeding hopper with touchscreen control. Mid-range capacity for growing operations.

Continuous belt conveyor model. High throughput for large food factories and packing houses.

500–700 kg/h commercial model. Mobile casters, robust build, built for daily heavy use.
Onions are fed into the peeling chamber where high-pressure compressed air blows off the outer skins. No water is used — this eliminates water waste, prevents secondary contamination, and keeps onions dry for downstream processing.
The machine handles all common onion varieties — red, yellow, and white onions. The FL-D model runs optimally with 60–100mm diameter onions. Contact us if you work with other sizes.
The FL-D requires an air source of at least 1.0 MPa. We recommend pairing it with a suitably sized air compressor. We can advise on compressor selection for your model and capacity.
Yes. The entire machine is food-grade stainless steel with a detachable structure and no dead corners. It can be directly washed with water, meeting food hygiene standards and minimizing daily maintenance.
Absolutely. The peeling machine can be docked with upstream and downstream processing equipment — washing, cutting, slicing, and packaging. We customize the layout for your factory.
We are a professional food machinery manufacturer with years of deep expertise in fruit and vegetable peeling solutions. We focus on R&D, production, and customization of peeling machines for global food factories, central kitchens, and processing plants.
From the compact FL-A to the high-throughput FL-C, every machine is built from food-grade stainless steel, tested before shipment, and backed by installation guidance and technical support. We help you eliminate the eye-strain labor problem and run a clean, efficient peeling line.
