As New Holland points out, winegrowers have to adapt their growing and harvesting practices according to the climate, landscape, microorganisms, grape varieties, and other factors the area they live in supports and presents. With its recent release of a new blue destemmer mesh for its Braud grape harvesters, the company says its destemmer mesh range now provides “every vine grower across the world with a suitable solution, in every condition.”

Obtaining Excellence

New Holland has integrated onboard destemmer systems into Braud harvesters since they launched in 2002. The system essentially detaches grapes from their stems so that only grapes enter the hopper. “When sorting grapes, a grape harvester needs to adapt the meshing sizes to achieve the best sorting capacity, removing all unwanted MOG (material other than grape) to keep only the best grapes,” says Philippe Boisseau, New Holland grape and olive harvester marketing specialist. “By extending the mesh offering, we are effectively giving our customers additional possibilities on their destemmer for targeting the sorting and obtain excellence with their grapes to make the best wines.”

Blue destemmer mesh contains roughly 0.8- x 0.8-inch (20- x 20-millimeter) holes, making it well-suited for small grapes, such as merlot or cabernet, in low or medium yields. Pink destemmer mesh uses 0.94- x 0.94-in. (24- x 24-mm) holes, and can work in all conditions. White destemmer mesh integrates 1.14- x 0.98-in. (29- x 25-mm) holes, and is ideal for high yields or big grapes.

Along with the blue destemmer mesh release, New Holland says that it has developed a dedicated tool that will let operators switch from one destemmer mesh to another in less than 10 minutes.
