Removing MOG (Material Other than Grapes)—stems, jacks, shot berry and other type of foreign material—reduces levels of tannin and other flavor contaminates in the wine. Automated MOG sorting with WECO's optical sorting system will result in a higher quality wine.
"Leaves, twigs, bugs, unripe and damaged fruit, grass clippings and bits of stems potentially all add flavors that we probably did not farm for... So why do we accept all of this extra stuff going into the must and potentially degrading the quality of what we have worked so hard to attain?"
WECO's Wine Grape Sorter uses the latest in optical sorting technology and advanced algorithms to efficiently remove under- and over-ripe fruit and foreign material (MOG). This offers vastly improved quality with increased throughput at a fraction of the price of alternative methods. Our system is also designed to be easy to understand and operate, employing intuitive controls and a touch-screen interface refined over the last thirty years.
Automation through the WECO's Wine Grape Sorter can provide tremendous gains in productivity and labor efficiency.
