Stainless steel construction was used to prevent corrosion, and continuous welds were provided to prevent debris from building up between the pipe and flight connection. Flush out ports were added to the side of the troughs to allow residual grape juice and cleaning fluids to drain freely. Hip roof covers were used on the conveyor section located outside the building to prevent rain from collecting on the housing. To work within the required space constraints, a shafted horizontal conveyor was custom designed to feed directly into an inclined shaftless conveyor in place of using a CEMA standard inlet and discharge connection. The shaftless conveyor utilized a dual spiral shaftless screw to ensure that the grape pomace conveyed easily up the incline.
