ZTI - 2020 ZTI Destemmer

• Separating grapes from their stems in winemaking or fresh produce packing.
• Removing dates from their strands for processing or packaging.
• Detaching cherry tomatoes from their trusses for retail or further processing.
• Pre-processing step for fruit intended for juicing, canning, or drying.
• Reducing manual labour in fruit harvesting and preparation lines.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly by model and fruit type, but commonly ranges from 500 kg/hour to several tonnes/hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption depending on motor size.

Footprint

Units of this type can range from compact standalone machines to larger integrated systems, typically requiring several square metres of floor space.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from stainless steel for food contact areas to ensure hygiene and durability.

Destemming mechanism

Often employs rotating drums or rollers with specific patterns to gently separate fruit from stems, mimicking manual actions.

Suitable feed size

Designed for whole bunches or trusses of fruit, with specific models optimised for different fruit sizes (e.g., grapes, dates, cherry tomatoes).

• What are the typical safety features on a destemmer?

Sorting and grading equipment is valued for improving product consistency and processing efficiency. Buyers typically seek machines in good mechanical condition with minimal wear on critical components like belts, motors and calibration systems. Common strengths include reliable performance when properly maintained, cost savings versus new equipment, and compatibility with existing production lines. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Buyers should inspect electrical systems thoroughly and verify spare parts availability before purchasing used units.
