I-Tek - Hoppers/Grape Receiving Tanks
Built with structural criteria of adequate strength and suitable resistance for the phases of unloading the grapes from the wagons, the hoppers or auger tanks for the reception of the grapes (also of grapes harvested by machine) are made of AISI304 or AISI316 stainless steel, with appropriate size and reception capacity and can also be built to specific customer requests.
The hoppers, also called conveyors or grape receiving tanks, can be single auger, twin auger or even more several augers depending on the needs. Grape handling augers have a standard diameter of 300, 400 and 500 mm. The structure of the grape hoppers is made entirely of stainless steel sheet. The motorization is carried out through primary brand gearbox and orthogonal or planetary kind, with mechanical or electronic (inverter) speed variator and high motors efficiency. The discharge outlets are hermetic and activated hydraulically and if requested, also pneumatically. Should it be requested an electrical control panel. Anti-hardship protections with pneumatic or hydraulic drive. Possibility of flanged connection to the discharge outlet (to be requested in the purchase order) of an elliptical rotor pump.
