2020 Harvest Planning — Receiving GrapesImagine it's harvest and your grapes just arrived…now where do you put them?
Forget about "sexy" equipment like presses, let's focus on the nitty-gritty: receiving grapes.

You can precisely adjust the angle of incline and vibration speed to meter in grapes at the desired rates. Read more...
