Frequently Asked Questions

What does Wyma specialise in?

Wyma specialises in post-harvest handling and processing solutions for fresh and processed vegetables. This includes equipment and full-line systems for washing, grading, polishing, conveying, cooling, and packing produce such as potatoes, carrots and onions.

Wyma delivers solutions from field intake to final pack, helping customers improve efficiency, product quality and return on investment.

What is a full-line post-harvest solution?

A full-line solution is an integrated processing system that connects every stage of production into one seamless operation, from raw intake through to final packaging.

Wyma designs and delivers these systems to optimise flow, reduce bottlenecks and ensure consistent product quality across the entire line, rather than focusing on standalone machines.

How does Wyma help reduce labour dependency in food processing?

Wyma helps reduce labour dependency by automating key stages of the processing line, including grading, trimming, washing, and handling.

By integrating smart automation and advanced technologies, Wyma enables processors to increase throughput, improve consistency and operate efficiently with fewer staff, addressing one of the biggest challenges in the industry today.

How does Wyma improve product quality and reduce waste?

Wyma improves product quality through gentle handling, accurate grading, and effective cleaning processes that minimise damage and ensure consistency.

At the same time, its systems reduce waste by lowering spoilage and mechanical damage, helping customers maximise yield and deliver higher-quality produce to retail and export markets.

What makes Wyma different from other post-harvest equipment suppliers?

Wyma stands out by delivering fully integrated, customised solutions rather than standalone machines.

With decades of global experience, strong industry partnerships, and local support teams, Wyma provides end-to-end capability, from design and installation to ongoing service and optimization, ensuring long-term performance and value for customers.

What role does innovation play in Wyma’s long-term industry relevance?

Innovation is central to Wyma’s growth, as seen with products like the Vege-Polisher™, which transformed root vegetable processing. Continuous innovation helps the company adapt to evolving quality standards, labor shortages and automation demands.

How does Wyma contribute to reducing post-harvest losses globally?

By offering equipment for cleaning, grading, cooling and efficient handling, Wyma helps reduce spoilage and mechanical damage, which are major contributors to post-harvest losses, especially in perishable crops.

How does Wyma’s equipment improve product quality for fresh produce markets?

Their systems ensure uniform grading, gentle handling and proper cleaning, which enhances visual appeal and shelf life—key factors in both retail and export markets.

How has Wyma evolved from a local workshop to a global player?

Through strategic leadership (post-1991 acquisition), innovation and customer-centric solutions, Wyma transitioned from a regional engineering firm to a global post-harvest solutions provider.

How does Wyma balance efficiency with sustainability?

By reducing waste, optimizing resource use and improving processing efficiency, Wyma indirectly supports sustainable agricultural supply chains.
