This research focuses on the design and development of a boiled quail egg peeling machine, as well as testing its performance. The objective is to address the labor-intensive process of peeling quail eggs by creating a machine that ensures cleanliness, aesthetic quality, and prevents eggs from breaking or being crushed. The tools used in the research include a water pump for rinsing the eggs, caster wheels for easy mobility, and an Arduino microcontroller board. The performance evaluation of the boiled quail egg peeling machine revealed average peeling accuracies of 58%, 54%, 43%, and 40% for peeling 100, 50, 30, and 10 eggs, respectively, with corresponding peeling times of 25, 12, 7.5, and 2.5 minutes. Comparatively, the results demonstrated that the developed machine is significantly faster than manual labor for peeling boiled quail eggs.
