Tribaie 5.40, a unique grape sorting process from Amos Industrie

Tribaie 5.40, a unique grape sorting process from Amos Industrie

For several years, Amos Industrie has been developing the Tribaie concept, a multifunction machine that cleans the harvest and sorts it into different categories according to its condition.

It allows:

- Separation of foreign matter (green waste, seeds, pedicels, etc.)
- Sorting of burst berries and whole berries (very useful for botrytized harvests)
- Density sorting to separate berries by ripeness.

In recent years, winegrowers have been working to sort grapes more and more efficiently, whether they are harvested by hand or by machine. Unfortunately, manual sorting, however careful, is not perfect. The Tribaie 5.40, on the other hand, makes it possible to sort far more effectively and to replace about twenty people. It allows a harvest of good ripeness to be picked very quickly and at the best moment, with yields of 20 t/hour, while making the most of the advantages and flexibility of mechanical harvesting.

Indeed, the machine works perfectly on mechanically harvested grapes, which are very difficult to sort by hand, but also on hand-harvested grapes after destemming. By separating the waste as well as the different qualities of berries, the TRIBAIE not only raises the quality of both the first wines and the others (second wines, press wines, etc.), but also recovers quality products from heavily damaged harvests that were previously considered unsalvageable.

The Amos Industrie advantages:
- Separates burst berries from whole berries (essential for botrytized harvests)
- Density sorting of berries according to their ripeness
