The receiving hopper with hydraulic door is designed for the efficient reception and continuous feeding of grapes into the processing line, ensuring a smooth workflow from the very first stage of the winemaking process.

Manufactured entirely from AISI 304 food-grade stainless steel, the hopper is designed for unloading grapes from tipping trailers and other tilting transport vehicles. The conveying auger is fitted with a polyethylene wear protection, reducing component wear and ensuring reliable long-term operation.

The variable speed drive allows the auger feed rate to be adjusted according to the capacity of the pump or downstream processing equipment, ensuring a continuous and controlled product flow.
