Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wine production, in particular to a crushing device for fermented grapes used for winemaking. Background Art
[0002] In the winemaking process, grape crushing and fermentation are very important steps, which determine the quality and taste of the wine. The traditional way of crushing grapes is to use a screw press to crush the grapes. This process is easy to crush the skin and grape seeds, thus affecting the taste of the wine, and in the process of grape juice fermentation, it is easy to produce "wine caps". "Wine caps" refer to the "caps" covering the wine formed by a large amount of grape skins floating to the liquid surface during the fermentation process. In order to make the wine obtain more natural pigments and tannins and other ingredients, the staff will intermittently perform "cap pressing" operations, that is, manually press the floating grape skins and seeds into the wine with tools to ensure that the grape skins are completely immersed in the wine. This process requires people to open the fermentation device, which is easy to affect the fermentation process. At the same time, external pollutants are easy to enter the fermentation device, causing pollution and affecting the quality of the wine. Utility Model Content
