Wyma's Mini Wet Hopper (for buffer storage) is great when you need in-line buffer storage and produce soak at the clean end of your line. It can also be used for chemical applications.
Produce can be quickly tipped into the waterfilled tank without fear of damage. Produce exits via an elevator. Elevator speed controls the outfeed flow rate.
When using the hopper for chemical application, spray bars can be fitted on the elevator for a final rinse.
On the Dual Elevator model, water immersion means produce is gently and evenly distributed to both elevators.
If you want to keep produce cool, use refrigerated water in the tank.
