The crusher/de-stemmer is a stainless steel machine that has a solid outside with a drum on the inside (the drum has holes in it for the berries and juice to go through) and on the inside of the drum there is a thick bar with beater arms on. So the grapes go in on top of the crusher/de-stemmer..
And then the berries gets separated from the stems inside of the crusher/de-stemmer..
(The crusher/de-stemmer is actually on in this photo and rotating at very high speed. Don't worry about safety, the crusher/de-stemmer is a closed machine, I just peaked in from an angle :) )
The stems then go on a conveyor belt and gets taken away by the farmers to feed their cattle, and I use some of it in my composting.
The grape juice and berries then goes through a mesh-cooler and into the fermenters and drainers.
