OverviewThis new crushing concept allows optimum opening of the berries based on their maturity, resulting in better extraction of juices, polyphenols, and aromatic compounds. Flow rates of up to 25 metric tons/hour.
Key benefitsCrushing based on berry maturity- Better extraction (juice, phenolic compounds, aroma precursors)
- Stabilised colour: tannins-anthocyanins combinations
- Open berries = increased surface contact between the juice and the skin
- Reduction in herbaceous taste and bitterness
- Pips and green berries not crushed
Optimisation of maceration- Shortened maceration time
- Faster rotation of fermenting vats
Simple and effective- Quick cleaning
- Easy to install
- Simple, instant adjustments
- Easy maintenance
- Up to 25 T/h
ResultsBetter colour stabilisation: tannins-anthocyanins combinations. Total polyphenols index (TPI) higher after several months in the bottle. Tests carried out with the INRA from 2010 to 2012.
Testimonials“We tried it out on several varieties of our wines. We were won over by this innovative machine: the system causes the berries to break up in a way that is more favourable for skin maceration, the berries are crushed in a very homogeneous manner, and cleaning is easy: a simple jet of water is enough.” — Domaine de Valdition
