Scraper Elevator For Wine Processing Equipment
A scraper elevator is a vital piece of equipment in wine processing, primarily used during the grape handling phase. It is designed to move harvested grapes from a reception hopper to a crusher-destemmer.
1.Features of a Scraper Elevator
1).Design:
Typically consists of a chain-driven conveyor system equipped with scrapers.
Built with food-grade materials, such as stainless steel, to prevent contamination and ensure durability.
2).Functionality:
Gently transports whole grapes or crushed material without damaging the fruit.
Can handle large volumes of material efficiently.
3).Adjustability:
Variable speed options to control the flow of grapes.
Adjustable angles to accommodate different setups in a winery.
4).Construction:
Robust, corrosion-resistant structure to handle wet and acidic conditions.
5).Cleaning and Maintenance:
Easy to disassemble or clean, often equipped with self-cleaning mechanisms or wash systems.
6)Customization:
Can be tailored based on capacity requirements, winery layout, and specific grape varieties.
2.Benefits in Winemaking For Using the Scraper Elevator
Gentle Handling: Prevents unnecessary crushing of grapes, preserving juice quality.
Efficiency: Speeds up the material handling process, especially in large-scale wineries.
Integration: Easily connects with other equipment like destemmers, crushers, or presses.
Labor Reduction: Automates a typically manual process.
3.Applications
Grape Reception Areas: Moves grapes from the hopper to crusher-destemmer.
Pomace Management: Transfers leftover skins, seeds, and stems after pressing.
4.Considerations for Choosing a Scraper Elevator
Capacity Requirements: Ensure the system can handle the volume of grapes or pomace your winery processes.
Material Quality: Stainless steel construction is preferred for longevity and food safety.
Design Features: Look for adjustable scraper heights, incline angles, and other customizations.
Ease of Maintenance: Systems with easy access for cleaning and repairs save time and costs.
