Wyma Destoners
Preserving crop quality and safeguarding equipment.
Post-harvest destoning focuses on separating stones, debris and other heavy particles from harvested crops, ensuring product purity and quality.
By effectively removing these impurities, destoning safeguards downstream equipment, prevents damage, and upholds the overall quality of the produce.
Cyclone Destoner
The Cyclone Destoner gently separates stones from produce, using the differing densities between the two.
Produce and stones are fed into a moving well of water in the Cyclone Destoner cone. Produce stays near the water surface and exits via an outfeed flume.
Stones are denser than produce, so they fall through the water to the bottom of the cone. From there, a stone elevator carries them to a chute for disposal.
The Cyclone Destoner allows more settling time than a Flume Destoner, making it suitable for stones with flat surfaces that may slow down their descent. It has a larger footprint than a Flume Destoner, but also provides the advantage of produce pre-soak.
It is particularly good for carrots.
Flume Destoner
The Flume Destoner removes stones from produce flow to minimise damage to produce and equipment in your processing line. It uses the different densities of stones and produce to separate them.
Produce and stones enter together and meet a rising column of water. Produce is conveyed gently across the column while stones fall down the stone duct onto an elevator for removal.
