Technology developed to keep all the features of the fruit intact

• As the grapes are fed into the Lugana’s feed hopper, a short auger meters them into the rotating destemmer drum. By destemming prior to crushing a superior must is obtained. The sheeting of the destemming drum is with round countersunk holes. This avoids maceration of the fruit and keeps the grape stems intact.
• The speed of the grape infeed auger is adjustable. This insures that the flow of grapes through the machine can be optimized for each variety. On the lower part there is a roller sorting table to separate the stems from the whole destemmed grape (ROLLTEC). It is made up of rollers different in their opening which eliminates all MOG from the destemmed parts.

Sanitation and maintenance

• The “LUGANA 2R-TEC” is designed to be fully disassembled for cleaning in few seconds. So you can easily clean all the parts of the machine that still have pieces of worked grapes. Its transmission and its motor are completely isolated from the part where the product is worked.

Safety

• The electrical safety system stops the machine if any of the covers are opened. The machine can only be restarted when the covers are latched back into place and the start button pressed again.
• The “LUGANA 2R-TEC” is also equipped with an emergency stop switch for the operator.

Optionals

• Cage made of plastic.
• Collection tank with motorized auger to eliminate continuously the ejected parts and recycling the must.
• Lower hopper conveyor available in several dimensions.
