DESTEMMER
- CRUSHER SOFT VERSION CRUSHER
The upper part of the machine
consists of a loading hopper ( by perforated cradle* ) which receives
the bunches, dripping immediately the existing juice, and conveys them
towards the grape-removing
destemming section.
This section is composed of a perforated cylinder (with drawn holes)
inside which a beating shaft rotates at a very low peripheral speed.
On the beating shaft a serial of arms are mounted. They have on the
extremity a rubber element which treats softly the bunches and removes
delicately the grapes from the stems. The perforated cylinder rotates
in the same direction as the beater but at a lower speed, reducing in
that way the relative speed of the beater itself.
When the machine is operating as destemmer /crusher the grapes pass
through the holes in the cylinder and are conveyed to the crushing section
below, made of star - shaped food rubber rollers, rotating booth at
the same speed.
The crushed grapes are finally collected in the lower hopper and than
feeded to the suitable pump.
The position of the crushing rollers can be easely changed allowing
different types of crushing.
On demand, an automatic washing system can be fitted on the machine.
