Wyma Top Remover Hedgehog and Horizontal Hedgehog

The Wyma Top Remover Hedgehog removes carrot tops, soil and other debris from the line. Green carrot tops, debris, leaves and/or grass are separated from the carrots or other produce by rubber fingers on the belt.

Carrots slide down the fingers while waste is carried up and over the head drum. The Top Remover Hedgehog is predominantly used for carrot lines, but is also effective with other types of produce where tops and/or grass is a problem.

The Wyma Horizontal Hedgehog is used to remove dirt, roots and other vegetation from round produce - primarily potatoes.

It is typically positioned near the beginning of a processing line. Additional equipment such as legs and chutes may be needed to successfully position the Hedgehog and guide produce on and off the machine.

Once separated, the waste can be accumulated in a waste bin or conveyed away from the Hedgehog on a waste conveyor.
