DESTEMMER - CRUSHERS
Destemmer-Crushers operation
The destemmer-crusher is a machine used to process the grapes that arrive in the cellar, both the one picked by hand and the one picked mechanically. The main function is to de-stem the grapes or separate the berries, the good part, from the stalks, or the part of waste. After destemming, the berries pass through the crusher where they are broken, effectively starting the fermentation process.
The destemmer-crushers by C.M.E. can work in any configuration, the oenologist can choose if:
- destemming or not destemming thanks to the new hopper which, with a simple gesture, sends the grapes directly to the pump
- press or not to press, through the trolley mounted crusher that can be easily excluded
