Wyma Clean Wet Hopper

Wyma's Clean Wet Hopper receives and stores produce in water prior to packaging, eliminating the need for boxes/bins. Flumes or conveyors gently carry produce to the bunker.

The modular conveyor in the base of the bunker moves produce towards the outfeed elevator. Speed-controlled outfeed elevators carry produce to the next stage in your line.

This system is a great time-buffer allowing you to store produce for short periods of time to even your line flow into packaging.

Features

• Robust construction with durable stainless steel tanks.
• Tanks equipped with modular conveyor to gently carry your produce forward.
• Modular plastic conveyor and elevator for easy maintenance.
• Speed controlled out-feed elevator.
• Stainless steel out-feed elevator with modular plastic belt and cleats to remove produce from the bunker.
• Automated control valves and integrated sensors for water level control.
• External elevator and conveyor bearing for easy maintenance.
• Platforms, walkways and frames can be provided around the bunkers to allow easy access for maintenance and produce inspection.
• Quick removal internal panels to aid cleaning.
• Stepped elevator angle to minimize roll-back and efficiently carry produce to the out-feed. This ensures produce through-put is maximized and produce damage minimised.
• Speed controlled via a variable speed drive to allow out-feed rate to be optimized to conditions and pack-out rates.
• Three access hatches for cleaning and maintenance.
