25 Oct Grape expectations: A niche belt solution for winemakers
After the harvests are hauled in from the vineyards, the stalks and stems are separated from the grapes on a conveyor system and transferred onto an elevator, so that the wine ingredients go on way and the unwanted bits are carried away as organic waste, explains CBC’s Michael Williams.
Central to the CBC Para Hills location in Adelaide, Michael has been serving the agriculture segment for more than 20 years, particularly customers from the Clare Valley wine region. Recently, he was called out to a local winery that was experiencing problems with a failing belt drive on their grape elevator.
