High-pressure washing systems for smarter pumpkin cleaning

The pumpkin brusher has established itself as a globally proven design, becoming the machine of choice for leading growers and processors who seek to clean large products of varied shapes carefully and efficiently.

Recently, Wyma has expanded this trusted solution with new options that help get even more from every harvest, offering specific solutions for pumpkins, zucchini, and melons. These machines are designed to help professionals overcome current commercial and operational challenges, minimizing staffing requirements compared to jet washing or manual systems. Furthermore, the system reduces water consumption through efficient spray and recycling, improving crop presentation to increase product value and drive retail sales under strict food safety standards.

Expanded capacity and intelligent feeding systems

Among the innovations is the Mega Brusher, which builds on the standard design by adding a third brush shaft, allowing it to handle specimens up to 450 mm in diameter with consistent and gentle cleaning. This model includes an adjustable machine angle to optimize product flow and is built entirely of stainless steel to ensure a long service life and easy cleaning.

The equipment also features integrated spray bars for effective rinsing and is designed for easy integration into water recycling systems. To increase line efficiency, an automated feeding system is offered in one and two-lane variants, which buffers and gently feeds the product to prevent bruising or damage, making it ideal for the most intense processing periods.

Flexibility for small calibers and modular design

The updated range also offers excellent performance for small pumpkins, with brush configurations that allow cleaning products as small as 60 mm in diameter. For sizes between 60 and 100 mm, the capacity reaches between 100 and 150 pieces per minute, which is ideal for serving fast-moving retail markets.

This technology is flexible enough to process mixed crops on the same line with minimal changeovers, protecting delicate skins and preserving the value of the harvest. Thanks to its compact and modular design, these tools are easily integrated into existing lines, ensuring labor savings and a significant improvement in the differentiation of the visual quality of the product.
