General Information: The Wyma Hedgehog Top Remover is a machine designed for efficient removal of vine, leaf, roots, sticks, and loose dirt from produce flow. It operates by feeding produce onto an upward traveling belt where waste and debris are caught by belt pintle fingers and carried up to a waste chute or conveyor. The machine offers adjustable features, allowing operators to modify the angle and belt speed according to the type of produce and operating conditions. Produce is discharged gently, either onto a [belt conveyor](/products/conveying/octal-conveyors-elevators) or into a water body like a [Wet Hopper](/products/hoppers/wet-hopper) or [Stone Remover](/product-category/destoning), minimising falling impact. The Hedgehog Top Remover comes in two configurations—waste above and waste below the frame—and is available in two widths: 750mm (29.5”) and 1200mm (47”). Hedgehog infeed, outfeed and above frame waste removal. Waste from the Hedgehog top remover can feed waste bin's via a conveyor or directly from a built in waste chute. 1200 mm (47") wide Hedgehog with waste conveyor **above** frame. 1200 mm (47") wide Hedgehog with waste conveyor **below** frame.
