P&L Specialties
P&L Specialties’ new “Cluster Thruster” evenly meters whole clusters at 2 to 30 tons per hour. The machine can process a half-ton bin dump at once, and its oscillating motion moves grapes evenly and gently onto a conveyor that can be set to feed a manual sorting line, destemmer or press. The hopper and conveyor are designed to be easy to clean and easy to incorporate into an existing crush pad system. Price: Check with supplier.

Criveller
Criveller’s new roller-sorter table is designed to be placed after the destemmer to provide a quick and easy way to ensure MOG is removed from the grape stream. The device employs a series of rollers that move MOG toward a waste-collection channel. Whole berries slip through the rollers into a must pump or another conveyor for further hand sorting. The spaces between the rollers can be adjusted depending on berry size. Criveller reports the unit removes a “high percentage” of jacks and works with machine or hand-harvested grapes. The rollers can be removed for easy washing. Throughput ranges from 1 to 15 tons per hour. Price: Starting at $13,000.
