Optical Vege-Trimmer™

The Optical Vege-Trimmer™ represents a significant shift in vegetable processing technology. Developed in-house at Wyma Solutions, it is a unique, fully automated optical vegetable trimming system designed to remove foliage, crowns, and tails from vegetables before packing or processing.

By combining advanced optical recognition with high-speed cutting, the Optical Vege-Trimmer™ delivers consistent, accurate trimming with minimal manual intervention.

Performance & Automation

The system individually identifies the unique shape of each vegetable, determining the appropriate cut point, and making the cut, all in just 0.2 of a second. Each machine is capable of top and tail operations at approximately 2 items per second, delivering a throughput of up to 1-2 tons per hour depending on produce size. The Optical Vege-Trimmer™provides significant improvements in productivity, sustainability and efficiency of operations – tested and proven in real-world environments.

Design & Manufacture

High-speed optical systems ensure precise, repeatable trimming of foliage, tops, and tails, even at high throughputs. A V-infeed conveyor stabilises each vegetable prior to cutting, maintaining accuracy throughout the operation.

The machine features an EHEDG-inspired hygienic design, incorporating food-grade EPDM seals and IP69K-rated servo motors. Side chutes and caustic washdown-rated components simplify cleaning, while the open design provides excellent access for servicing and maintenance.

Trimmed waste is automatically collected by the base conveyor and transferred to a designated discharge point, streamlining waste removal and keeping the production line clean and efficient.

Operation System

An intuitive control interface allows operators to easily calibrate, configure, and fine-tune cutting parameters. Once set, the system maintains consistent cutting accuracy, delivering reliable, high-value results across every production run.
