Break every berry without crushing the seeds — this crusher starts your fermentation clean, with no bitter tannins from seed damage.
This manual grape crusher breaks grape skins open to release juice while leaving seeds intact — crushed seeds release bitter compounds that can spoil a wine. The roller mechanism is adjustable for grape variety and berry size, and the hopper holds a solid volume per pass. Use with the Grape Press No. 35 for a complete crush-and-press harvest workflow.
- Style: manual roller crusher
- Adjustable roller gap for different grape sizes
- Hopper-fed design
- Compatible with standard wine grapes and soft fruits
Winemaker's Tip: Set the roller gap slightly wider than the grape diameter — you want broken skins, not pulverized seeds. Test with a handful before running your full harvest.
Pair with the Grape Press No. 35 for a complete harvest setup.
