Destemmer

Picking grapes, dates and cherry tomatoes with the destemmer surpasses manual processing. The machine is unique because, like no other comparable machine, it can pick the fruit from the vine with a rotating movement. Which is just how it would happen if picked by hand. The point where the stem meets the fruit thus remains intact, improving shelf life.

Rotating movement prevents inadvertant damage to the skin

The vines are fed into the top of the machine. The Destemmer rotates the fruit carefully, releasing them individually from the vine. The soft 'friction pads' in the machine ensure that the fruit cannot be bruised. Once the pieces of fruit have been picked from the vine, they roll along the conveyor belt.

Capacity and availability

Depending on the quality and variety of grape, the Destemmer can process up to around 500 kg per hour. Apart from tablegrapes, the Destemmer can also pick dates and cherry tomatoes. Should you require more information on this, please contact us.

Optionally, the machine can be equipped with supply and discharge belts, a dryer, a washer and a shaker. It is also possible to install a swan neck conveyor and a funnel in front of the Destemmer that feeds the grapes ergonomically into the machine. A volume detection system stops the feed conveyor automatically when it reaches it's capacity.
