Potato processing is a balance of competing priorities. Processors must maximise throughput while protecting product quality. They must reduce labour and operational costs while meeting increasingly strict retailer specifications. And they must do all of this while handling a natural, variable product that changes daily. The difference between a good processing line and a great one often comes ...
Sometime down the track now, we are still as happy as ever with the storage system for the ongoing advantages it brings to our products and our business. The flume transfer after sizing to the tanks is about as gentle as it gets right through to the out feed off the storage tanks with minimal roll back issues. ...
This was achieved through a multi-produce design philosophy from the start, and some clever use of flumes and by-pass systems. “We chose Wyma as we knew their reputation, they were local, and also felt they were potentially world-leading in their approach and technology,” says Glen Crozier, Director of Lynchris Farms. A strong desire from the Croziers to achieve the ...
Date: 2014 Subject: Two years on, Wyma carrot line performance still impresses Business: B.D. & M.D. Nicol & Son Pty Ltd Location: South Australia, Australia Customers: Major supermarket chains, wholesalers, independent green grocers and vegetable processors Australia-wide Australia has one of the highest food retail concentrations in the developed world, with the two large supermarkets ...
To begin, Hedgehogs remove carrot tops, leaves and soil. Carrots are gently flumed to the two Barrel Washers for an immersed wash in a rotary perforated drum. ...
Background: Company Name: Frederick Hiam Foods Business Type: Grower & Processor Produce: Potatoes, Onions, Carrots & Parsnips Throughput: 5 t/ph parsnips , 10 t/ph carrots Location: Suffolk, UK View the case study ...
Date: 2019 Business: Rocky Lamattina & Sons Location: Victoria, Australia In 2019, Wyma Solutions completed the final phase of the new line for the team at Rocky Lamattina & Sons in Wemen, Australia, one of the most complex projects we have ever worked on. Believed to be the largest carrot wash line in Australasia (requiring 49 containers shipped from the factory in New Zealand in ...
Fifth generation family farm nearly doubles their carrot production with Wyma and Volm Companies Background: Company Name: Gwillimdale Farms Business Type: Grower & Processor Produce: Onions, Carrots Throughput: 20 t/ph carrots Location: Ontario, Canada ...
Consequently, Wyma recommended a solid pre-wash system with Wet Hopper and Flume Destoner to remove dirt, stones, clods and debris. “The Flume Destoner is such an elegant engineering solution for separating sand, rocks and soil from the ginger,” Richard says. ...
Then we realized that Wyma have a number of really interesting things in their equipment range, like the Flume Destoner and the Floating Debris Remover on the Wet Hopper. These things attracted us. ...
The solution had to integrate seamlessly with their existing flume pit and downstream optical grading equipment, while maintaining product quality and efficient water use. ...
Carrot and parsnip processing might appear relatively straightforward on the surface, but across global markets, it is becoming increasingly complex. Processors today are balancing higher expectations around quality, food safety, and traceability with growing pressure on labour, water, and operational costs. While carrots dominate global volumes and often dictate how lines are designed, parsnips ...
As vegetable processing volumes grow worldwide, efficient, reliable, and gentle handling systems are essential. We design, build, install and support complete post-harvest lines that bring together the industry’s most advanced, high-capacity machinery, engineered for performance, precision, and longevity. Our full-line solutions for crops such as potatoes, carrots, onions, parsnips, and ...
Engineers working on a project in North Wales have employed novel techniques to improve wastewater treatment efficiency, reportedly at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods, saving an estimated £3.5 million. Alison Miles from NIVUS, an instrumentation partner in the project, explains the flow measurement technology behind the reported improvements. ...
Small wastewater treatment works (WwTWs) frequently present significant physical challenges for instrumentation and control engineers. However, a compliant flow measurement facility has been installed at a plant in Fowey, in the south-west of England, by a partnership involving a water company, a contractor, an instrumentation provider and an inspection company. The flow monitor at Fowey WwTW ...
These two T-MH units were installed downstream of an open flume setting that encloses a larger turbine. The two turbines discharge into the existing tailrace and produce 1500 watts each on 8ft of head. ...
Application Problem: A municipal utility required a flow meter to monitor influent flow in an open channel.Application History: The influent flows into the treatment plant through a narrow open channel flume that made level measurement difficult.Solution: ABM’s non-contact mini ultrasonic level transmitter and open channel meter (OCM) were selected for the application. ABM’s ...
Rip rap is a common channel protection method because of its resistance to most flows with appropriate rock size; however, it does have significant drawbacks. Material can be expensive, not locally available, and placement requires heavy equipment. Additionally, rip rap channels are prone to regular maintenance, collection of debris and garbage, erosion at boundaries, undermining, and movement. ...
GEOWEB System - Research Synopsis Research Objective Measure performance of the GEOWEB (GW) material combined with a turf reinforcement mat (TRM) (integrated system) with topsoil infill and vegetation under varying shear stresses and flow rates to quantify both hydraulic forces and corresponding soil loss. The test consisted of a series of continuous one-hour flows over the GW-TRM system at ...
By Dr. Mustafa Mashal and Dr. Bruce Savage When it comes to a traditional civil engineering curriculum, precast concrete commonly is the last lecture in a reinforced concrete class. Graduating civil engineering students typically have minimal exposure to precast concrete design, production and construction during their programs. This creates a significant lack of knowledge among entry-level ...
