Application
The CGR (Compact Grape Reception) provides a complete, precise and independent processing of the harvest. Analyses of PH, º Brix, temperature and volume allows us to qualify the processed harvest. The skid also provides an automatic and accurate dosing of SO2 to ensure an effective protection of the grapes. The main advantage of the skid is the possibility to treat the harvest in the vineyard due to its mobility and compactness.
Operating principle
The CGR skid consists of a hopper, de-stemmer, crusher and a positive displacement pump. The hopper is provided with an auger that transports the harvest to the de-stemmer and to the crusher. At the outlet, the samples are measured for pH and ° Brix to set the correct dosage of SO2 by a volumetric pump. Finally, the grapes are transferred by an NTE progressive cavity pump or a PV peristaltic pump. A complete and automated control of the CGR unit allows us to have, throughout the process, all the necessary data for a correct traceability of the harvest on its way from the vineyard to the cellar via a GPRS system.
