Why Smart Sizing Matters

Written by website admin | 26 August 2025 9:06:05 AM

Accurate sizing is key to efficiency, quality, and profit. See why it matters and how Wyma’s range of sizing systems can help you get the best from every harvest.

 


Why Smart Sizing Matters 

Whether you are delivering potatoes for the supermarket shelf, carrots for foodservice, or parsnips for processing, your ability to separate produce accurately by size affects quality, efficiency, and returns.

But not all sizing systems are created equal. The right solution needs to match the crop, the market requirements, and the flow of your line. Choosing a trusted partner is just as important as choosing the machine. You need equipment built for accuracy, efficiency, and longevity, backed by people who understand your challenges and support your growth.

With decades of experience and a portfolio of proven solutions, Wyma offers a range of sizing systems tailored to different crops, conditions, and customer needs.

Our Sizing Solutions

Lift Roller Sizer – Flexible, high-capacity diameter grading

The Lift Roller Sizer is designed for round and tubular produce such as potatoes, carrots, onions, beetroot, and citrus. It creates precise size bands by adjusting the spacing between rollers. Multiple outlets (three to six as standard) allow high-capacity grading into several size categories at once.

  • Best for: Operations needing accurate diameter-based sizing for multiple produce types.
  • Why choose it: Offers roller options for both round and elongated produce, positive drive rollers for accuracy, and easy electronic or manual adjustment during operation. Gentle handling and stainless-steel construction ensure reliability and long service life.

 

 

Screen Sizer – Simple, efficient, and versatile

The Screen Sizer uses perforated screens to separate produce by allowing smaller items to fall through while larger ones continue. It is widely used for spherical produce such as potatoes, beetroot, rutabaga, citrus, and more, and performs well in both dirty and clean applications.

  • Best for: High-speed bulk applications where throughput and gentle handling are critical.
  • Why choose it: Extremely versatile, with customizable screen sizes and shapes (round, hexagonal, or square holes). Quick-change screens and self-tracking technology reduce downtime. Multiple modules can be combined for finer sorting, making it ideal when flexibility is needed across different crops or size profiles.

 

 

Vibrating Length Sizer – Precision for long produce

The Vibrating Length Sizer is purpose-built for long vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and yams. Produce travels over vibrating corrugated channels, with shorter pieces dropping through adjustable openings while longer produce carries on. Up to four size separations are possible.

  • Best for: Processors who need to remove shorts, broken pieces, or undersized product before packaging.
  • Why choose it: Adjustable openings make it highly flexible between runs, while its stainless-steel tray and low-maintenance design keep operations simple and reliable. It ensures clean, length-based separation that helps packers deliver consistent product to market.

 

Optical Grading – Advanced Quality Assurance

While mechanical sizing ensures consistency by diameter or length, many customers also require grading based on visual quality. This is where optical technology adds value, helping processors identify defects, blemishes, and color variations that cannot be detected mechanically.

Wyma does not manufacture optical graders directly, but we work proactively with multiple reputable optical grading companies worldwide. Our role is to supply and integrate these systems seamlessly into your line. With extensive experience in integration, we ensure that optical grading equipment works in harmony with Wyma machinery to deliver maximum accuracy and efficiency.
