ONE way to do it: Receive, Destem, Sort, Crush. Your Carlsen Receiving Hopper will supply a metered feed of fruit to the Vega series Destemmer, or whatever other brand of equipment you may be using. This allows you to choose the perfect rotation speed to get the result that you want from the bunches of grapes. The destemmer has an American made stand which adjusts to position it above the vibratory wine grape sorting table, which in this photo discharges into the crush rollers to gently break the skins or not break them at all. This application also depicts the use of the gentlest must pumping system on the planet, but could easily discharge into bins for dumping into the fermentor. |
