S/STEEL SHEELER FOR POMEGRANATE BY ELECTRIC MOTOR (SMI)
Easy to use and practical in operation, insidethe hopper there isa screw which, thanks
to its movement, constantly drags the product inside the rollers which perform a first
crushing of the fruit and thanks to a powerful electric motor mounted on the machine,
the internal shaft with the stainless steel grid, with adapted holes, separates the hard
outer skin and the internal parts called “arils” from the precious grains. Mechanisms
and rollers are made of nylon, certified for food contact, such as gears that guarantee
robustness and long product life. The rollers can be adjusted a few millimeters.

check that the maximum capacity is greater than the total weight of the parts to
be supported and of any accessory weights such as lifting equipment, etc.
4.2 Transportation, unloading and installation
The machine is supplied already assembled, ready for use.
Transportation must be carried out by qualified transporters able to guarantee the
correct handling of the transported material.

4.4 Electrical connections
Connection to the mains requires the plug to be inserted. The socket must comply
with safety regulations.
It is mandatory to connect the machine to a grounded outlet. The
system must be fitted with a life-saving differential switch.
The simplicity of the connection must not underestimate the importance of
compliance with general security measures. It’s important:
control that the mains voltage is the same as that indicated on the engine plate
check the integrity of the electrical cable before use and replace it if it is
damaged;
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 extension 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.

by pressing the start button on the control panel.
Fig. 4 Machine controls
After starting the engine, insert the bunches of grapes into the hopper which, through
the auger, are taken to the rollers where the crushing takes place. Once pressed, the
bunch passes where there is the flapping tree that divides the grapes from the bunch
by performing the destemming. The stems come out at the back of the machine,
while the berry, passing through the holes in the grill, is ready for fermentation.
The dimensions of the stems' outlet are determined by safety requirements and
functional requirements, favoring the removal of the stalks. In the event of abnormal
accumulations that could obstruct the mouth, the machine must be stopped and the
obstructions removed.
It is forbidden to bring your hands close to moving parts, in particular
to the stems' exit mouth.
