Italian Crusher Destemmer - Motorized, S/S Hopper & Auger
WE273PS
A great value in our motorized Crusher Destemmer line as the parts that are in direct contact with the grapes are stainless while the main body and motor/gear shroud are made from enamel coated steel.
How These Work:
Grapes are loaded into the top bin where the powered screw feed continually pushes grapes towards the rollers. Grapes are gently crushed by the rubber rollers and then fall into the destemming chamber. The destemming chamber features a removable basket with a bunch of circular holes in it and rotating destemming shaft. Grapes fall through the holes into your bucket. Stems get rotated through the basket by the destemming shaft until they exit at the end of the machine where they fall onto the ground or an awaiting bucket.
Rubber Rollers
This model features soft rubber rollers which are softer on stems possibly reducing rough tannins in your wine. The rollers are adjustable, however, please note that adjustment on machines this size regardless of manufacturer are limited to approximately 5 mm. This limitation is due to the drive gear on the powered roller meshing with the drive gear on the passive roller. Separate the rollers too far and the gears separate too far and the passive roller will not spin. Also, if the gears are barely touching while under power there is high possibility they will chip or break.
Output Production
Powered by a 1hp motor that provides an hourly production of approximately of up to 3000 lbs. Note that these machines must be fed with consistency to reach maximum throughput. Overload the machine with too many grapes at one time and the motor will pause and actually slow down production.
Cleaning
Remove two quick bolts and the safety cover slides off and the internal stainless destemming grate slides out for easy cleaning. The hose out the rest of the unit. Comes with directions.
