In this research, aloe vera peeling and dicing system is designed and fabricated with high capacity of 5 ton/hr. The system consists of aloe vera fillet, peeling and dicing mechanism. The system is tested for different speed of the roller and leaf thickness. It is concluded that for getting the maximum gel peeling efficiency 98.56%, the system should be carried out at 75 rpm roller speed for 20-22 mm thickness of aloe vera leaves. The dicing efficiency also exhibits high result with mechanism help changing the flexible aloe vera dice size. Moreover, the system also shows the high stability for reaching capacity of 5 ton/hr while running continuously in ten hours.
