Clean Wet Hopper
Wyma’s Clean Wet Hopper gently receives produce in water.
Our 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. Modular conveyor in the base of the bunker move 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.
