Destemming and Crushing

Destemming and crushing are among the most important steps in grape processing. They are closely connected operations that have a direct impact on the quality of the final wine. SRAML destemmers are designed to meet the needs of modern winemakers who expect gentle handling of grapes, reliable performance, and consistent results.

The DS-type destemmer provides gentle and efficient berry separation with consistent feeding and reliable day-to-day performance. Built in stainless steel for durability and hygienic operation, it is easy to clean, simple to use, and adaptable to different winery layouts and processing requirements, including configurations with an inline crusher.

Destemming and crushing equipment

Destemmers and crushers are essential parts of winery equipment. Their main role is to separate grape berries from the stems and prepare the must for the next stages of production by releasing the juice and pulp.

The new generation of SRAML destemmers has been developed in close cooperation with winemakers and built to support premium wine production. Every detail is designed for efficient, gentle, and adaptable processing.

Key advantages include:

destemming shaft with soft rubber tips

adjustable cage and shaft rotation speed

large receiving hopper

height-adjustable support legs

polyethylene cage for gentle berry separation

Destemming grapes at a winemaker

The polyethylene cage is one of the key features of the new line. It allows thorough yet delicate separation of berries from stems without damaging skins or seeds, helping preserve grape quality throughout the process.

Winemakers can adapt the destemmer to different grape varieties and ripeness levels by adjusting the rotation speed and selecting baskets with different hole sizes. This ensures efficient destemming while minimizing damage to the berries and avoiding stem breakage.
