The rollers are set the proper distance apart for crushing the grapes with just the right amount of force. The grapes go through the crusher and then fall into the destemmer portion where over 90% of the stems are quickly removed automatically. The pulp comes out the bottom and the stems come out the side.
The Marchisio Crusher & Destemmer is easy to use and will process 2,200 pounds of grapes per hour with normal, manual cranking. Just dump whole clusters of grapes into the hopper and start cranking the wheel. There’s no adjusting or set up needed.
All you need to do is attach the hopper to the unit and start cranking. Clean up is a breeze also; just hose it down and your done! How does it work? The grape clusters are sent through the rollers by rotating paddles within the hopper.
The crushed clusters then fall into an elongated trough. The trough has perforated holes that allow the pulp to go through but not the stems. Inside the trough is a series of paddles that spin at a high rate of speed. These paddles slap the pulp through the holes, while at the same time, forcing the stems out the end of the trough. Both the crusher and de-stemmer operate simultaneously with the single cranking of the wheel. Why is crushing and destemming important?
