ABEVE appointed new distributor for New Zealand for Armbruster - RotoVib in addition to Australia

ABEVE has been distributing Armbruster and their patented RotoVib destemmer in Australia for the last six years and as of 2023 are the now new distributor for New Zealand.

The RotoVib destemmer has been the preferred unit in the Nappa Valley - Sonoma County for the last 15 years with over 200 units sold for those wanting clean whole berries from Pinot Noir, Cabernets, Syrah and Chardonnay. The RotoVib features an vibrating motor on the beating shaft that pulses it up and down the length of the cage by 2-4mm; this allows the winemaker to dramatically reduce the rotational speed of the beater ensuring more whole berries and less stalk breakage. 

The addition of a single Roller Sorter bed or a Double Sorter bed ensures there is almost no green stalk matter entering into ferments. 

In Australia, the RotoVib has successfully been sold into the McLare Vale and Hunter Valley previously and recently in Tasmania, Mornington Peninsula and Rutherglen. In New Zealand the destemmer has been previously sold into Central Otago and the Hawkes Bay regions.

ABEVE as distributor for Australia and New Zealand will be able to usen the different experiences from both countries to assist new customers of the best installation on their winery crush pad.

Armbruster are also manufacturers of Vibrating and Screw Auger Hoppers, Tipping-Vibrating Grape Harvest Wagons, Sorting Tables, Elevators and open throat pumps to complete a crush pad set up.
