Receiving Hopper

This system is most commonly used for feeding your destemmer-crusher with 1/2 ton picking bins. The design and function provides for a very consistent and metered feed. The legs are adjustable for feeding the discharge directly to press. This receiving hopper can also be utilized for feeding red pomace back to press.
Height adjustments are made easily with your forklift for use in any scenario.
Designed for dumping half-ton bins into on the fly, the Carlsen 6-Foot Horizontal Receiving Hopper is the key to best results from your destemmer. By supplying the destemmer with a specific flow rate of grapes, the operator can then dial in the perfect speed at the destemmer.  In a hand- picked fruit scenario, a receiving hopper could minimize the need for sorting grapes. And it will save labor and increase the quality of the destemmed fruit that is accepted during sorting.
