STAINLESS STEEL GRAPE CRUSHER AND DESTEMMER (DMCI)
The machine consists of a loading hopper which contains the grapes to be
destemmed. At the bottom of the loading hopper there is a auger feed that pushes
the grapes towards two rollers that will crush them.
It then conducts them into the lower part where, thanks to a circular movement, the
destemmer shaft paddles separate the grapes from the stems. The grapes, together
with the freshly squeezed must, fall into the lower bin through the grate situated
inside the machine.
The destemmer shaft is manufactured in such a way that through its helical
movement, the welded paddles on it push the stems to the output shoot.

Electrical equipment
-- Regularly control the integrity of wires and make necessary
replacements.
-- Protect wires and engine from humidity.
-- Carry out any maintenance work with the machine turned off.
-- Authorize only skilled personnel to work on the electrical parts.
-- Control that the voltage is the same as that indicated on the machine
identification plate.
The evaluation of the correct place of use of the machine is the user’s responsibility.
Some useful tips regarding this are the following;
Positioning
The machine must be placed so as not to obstruct the
movement of men or equipment, and in such a way as to
guarantee that all the points requiring the presence of an
operator are easily accessible
Environment
Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, magnetic
fields, etc.) must be such as to guarantee the correct
functioning of the electrical components.
Noise
The noise level of this machine is inferior to 70 dBA. The
distribution of jobs of the operators must be such to insure
exposure to noise remains within the limits allowed by current
legislation.
Any tampering with parts, and in particular parts connected with the
safety of the machine, will relieve the manufacturer of any civil or
criminal liability in the case of accidents.

4. INSTALLATION
4.1 Preparation for installation
Before installing the machine it is necessary to control the suitability of the place
where it will be located. It being understood that such evaluation must consider the
specific conditions of the location, some important general controls are the following:
Check the overall dimensions of the machine, leaving a distance of at least 70
cm from any type of fixed obstacle (walls, columns, walkways) to allow the
operator to move without impediments. Check that the forseen location of the
machine does not interfere with any other machinery.
Check the suitability of flooring in terms of stability, cleanliness and slope.
Insure constant, uniform lightning to avoid risks due to shaded areas.
If the machine is positioned near to transit zones, you must place suitable
barriers around it for protection of accidental bumps with trolleys, trucks etc.
If it is located on intermediate floors, elevated floors or raised platforms, check
that the maximum carrying capacity is more than the overall weight of the
machine and any other accessories such as lifting equipment etc. always
considering an adequate safety factor.
4.2 Transport, unloading and installation
The machine is supplied already assembled into its operating configuration so the
risks due to movement concern the whole machine.
Transport must be by qualified transporters able to guarantee the correct movement
of the transported materials.
Grifo Macchine Enologiche does not accept any responsibility for
damages from transport. The goods are supplied ex-factory.

On receipt, control the integrity of the different parts of the machine and check that
the necessary parts for installation are not missing.
Check that the consignment corresponds to the order
specifications.
Complaints relative to the goods must be made in writing, to GRIFO Macchine
Enalogiche S.n.c. within 15 days from receipt of delivery.
Pay maximum attention when moving the machine, respecting what
is set out in current regulations and in any safety procedures.
Any moving of the machine must be done by two adults holding the four support
tubes at its extremes.
4.3 Positioning
When positioning the MOTORIZED GRAPE CRUSHER AND DESTEMMER, Model
DMS, DMC, DMCSI, DMCI, other than respecting the general conditions in
paragraphs 3.2 and 4.1, particular attention must be paid to the dimensional
compatibility between the support tubes and the container over which the machine is
placed.
The container must be placed in such a way that the grape stems, coming out of the
machine, fall outside of it.
The containers used must have the same shape and dimensions as to guarantee the
stability of the machine. The distance between resting points must not be more than
850mm (Fig. 3).

When positioning the machine you must choose the height so as to guarantee
accessibility to the destemmer and rollers situated at the bottom of the hopper. With
regards to this, a protective case is provided to screw onto the hopper itself.
Bearing in mind that the case provided has a height of 450 mm, the top end of this
must be at a height not inferior to 1600 mm.
Fig. 3 Dimensional limits in the positioning
The user should also be careful to guarantee machine stability when positioning. For
this purpose, adjustable feet to fix to the support tubes are supplied in order for the
machine to remain secured to the container on which it is placed.
For your safety, put the protective case as shown.
4.4 Electrical connections
Connection to the mains is done by simply inserting the plug. The corresponding wall
plug must correspond to what is set in the safety regulations.
Minimum
850 mm

It is obligatory to connect the machine to an earthed wall plug.
The plant must be fitted with an emergency safety cutout switch.
The simplicity of the connection must not make you underevaluate the importance of
respecting general security measures for electricity. Therefore it is important to:
control that the mains voltage is the same as that indicated on the engine plate
before using check the integrity of the electric cable and in case of damage it
must be replaced
avoid leaving the cable exposed to collisions, passage of people or vehicles or
any other situation that could be a threat to its integrity
protect the cable, plug-wall socket connection and any other electric parts from
humidity
In case the use of an extention cable is necessary, it is advisable to
use an electric 1.5 mm cable for lengths of up to 20 m and a 2.5 mm
cable for over 20m.
4.5 Lubrication
The machine does not need particular servicing. Before starting it up you should
check oil levels, as indicated in chapter 6.
GRIFO Macchine Enologiche S.n.c. decline all responsibility for
damages to people or things caused by failure to comply to the
installation instructions set out in this section.
