Grape Processing Equipment Improves Wine Grape Receiving Operations

Key Technology's family of Crush Pad Equipment Solutions for wineries includes modules that can be utilized separately or configured as an integrated system. The modules include a Receiving Hopper, Cluster Sorting Table, Post-Destemmer Sorting Table with MOG (material other than grape) separating system, and color sorters. These stainless steel systems help wineries improve their product quality while redirecting labor to other tasks. Key’s Crush Pad Equipment Solutions enable wineries to better control the quality of must going to their fermenting tanks by more effectively removing any unwanted objects such as insects, skins, raisins, "shot" berries, stem jacks, petioles, leaves, and other MOG from the product flow. Gentle handling and improved sanitation further enhance product quality. The modules are available in a range of standard sizes that handle from one to 10 tons of product per hour. The mobile modules feature locking caster wheels, leveling screws, and adjustable-height legs for easy repositioning.
