RECEPTION

Receiving hoppers

The range of PERA receiving hoppers is suitable for any type of installation and allows a regular supply of grapes to be fed to the destemming and sorting equipment.

We have a PERA vibrating hopper to receive the grapes. We chose this equipment to ensure a regular supply to our H600 destemmer, and it does a good job of separating the various plant components. Manufactured to a very high standard of quality, this hopper is extremely reliable and durable. We feed through flows of about 25 t/h, which is largely sufficient to absorb the estate's harvest.

Vibrating Hoppers

The vibrating hoppers are designed to supply any destemming and harvest sorting system. The harvest is protected by the vibrating discharge system.

PERA hoppers include:

• Vibrating hopper assembled on silent blocks

• AISI 304 stainless-steel structure

• On/off switch

• Emergency stop/shutdown button

• Water-tight door actuated by pneumatic cylinders

Options: juice drip trays, intermediate opening.

ARCHIMEDES SCREW HOPPERS: HORIZONTAL / ANGLED

Archimedes screw hoppers allow direct feed from the destemmer at a constant, optimal rate. The large diameter screw protects the grapes. Archimedes screw hoppers can be horizontal or angled, according to the needs of your installation.

Equipped with:

• Hopper in AISI 304 stainless steel, thickness 3 mm

• Ø 400 mm stainless steel Archimedes screw , thickness 5 mm

• Ø 50 mm cleaning water drain plug

• • MIG (inert gas) welded

• Electric motor

Option: weighing.

AVAILABLE AS MADE-TO-MEASURE ONLY

Tipping Screw Hoppers

These hoppers can supply a destemmer system. They are fitted with a screw which is fed gradually with the harvested grapes, as the hopper swings.

Technical Features

Dejuicing Rake Hoppers

These hoppers allow a significant amount of quality juice (less oxidation) to be drained from the harvest with their very wide drainage surface. They are used to optimise the press filling process for mechanical picking.

To Separate Foreign Bodies Gently

These durable, reliable destemmers are designed for hand picking or mechanical picking, and are easy to clean and to maintain.

We have used PERA destemmers in our cellars for many years. This reliable, durable equipment allows us to separate stalks, petioles, and leaves from the harvest, along with any foreign bodies, avoiding any breakdowns in the rest of the process. Our destemmer has a harvest selector that lets you choose between “harvests to be cleaned” and those “already clean”. In the latter case, it bypasses the destemmer and avoids crushing grapes that have already been destemmed. The rotational speed of the destemming shaft can be adjusted ensuring quality processing at a flow rate of approximately 50 t/hr.
