Crusher-Destemmer Notes

Safety Notes:
The protection provided at the opening where stalks are ejected from the machines, as well as the hopper over the feed auger, do not completely limit access to the dangerous parts of the machine. They are however a good compromise between the need for protection and the machineÕs functional requirements.


Adjustable and Spring Loaded Rollers
These are two valuable features that are standard on all of our Enoitalia crushers. The gap between roller axles (4a and 4b) is changed by turning nut (1). In addition, the bolt/nut (3) is in a slot such that when a stone enters between the rollers, roller 4a can move to the left against the tension of the spring (2). By the way, nut 3 should not be tightened down (It is a nylon self-locking nut so it will not come loose.) The exact same assembly is on the other side of the machine.

Please note that some machines such as the Jolly 20/30 have spring loaded roller block on one side only. The roller spacing is adjustable on the other side by moving the roller blocks in slots.

Never tighten Nut 3. If must be loose for the rollers to separate to pass a large stem or stone. This is a protective feature.

Move the rollers farther apart by turning Nut 1 clockwise. Turn counterclockwise to move rollers closer together. There is another nut next to the spring 2 that is not numbered in the photo. If you wish to make a large adjustment in roller spacing you may need to adjust this as well. For example, if you move the rollers far apart by turning Nut 1 clockwise significantly, then you will need to turn this nut to relieve some of the tension on the spring.

The total adjustment range is about 2 cm.
