Exciting Improvements to Our Pneumatic Wine Presses

 

We are thrilled to announce a series of significant enhancements to our pneumatic wine presses, aimed at improving efficiency, cleanliness, and juice extraction quality. Here's a closer look at the changes:

Panel Drainage System (PST models)

Our closed drum presses now feature large electropolished panel drains. The interconnected corrugated design of the panels allows for a 50% increase in drainage surface and a 100% increase in drainage perforations compared to regular closed drum drain channels.

Additionally, the unique hinged opening design enables simple and efficient press cleaning without entering the drum or removing the panel drains.

Eccentric Axial Feed (PST models)

Our presses are now equipped with an axial feed that enables eccentric press drum filling. This system redirects the grape mass to the center of the panel drains, ensuring that fresh grape mass constantly enters the drainage surface zone, minimizing pomace compaction. Documented trials on various grape varieties have shown that eccentric press drum filling increases the amount of free-run juice by at least 25% compared to regular axial feed. Furthermore, better free-run juice drainage provides improved press fill capacity and reduces pressing time.

Electropolished Press Drums (PSP models)

All series M open press drums (sizes from 5 to 16 HL) are now electropolished. Electropolishing the perforated drum provides an extremely smooth and clean surface, drastically reducing the cleaning time.

Self-Optimizing Pressing Program (PSP, PST, PSC models – with ABR automatics)

Our new pressing program features constant juice flow rate measurement, with accurate pressure and crumbling progression. This solution provides optimal juice extraction with a shorter pressing cycle.

The self-optimizing ability of the pressing program allows for pressure increases and crumbling decisions based solely on measured parameters and operator criteria, such as quality, yield, and pressing time.

PSC – Central Drainage Press

Designed specifically for hard-to-press grape varieties, our PSC press drum features central cylindrical drains and a double membrane.

The central position of the drains halves the distance between the draining surface and the pressure-exerting membrane. The electropolished cylindrical drains are designed for easy removal and provide a seamless, easy-to-clean surface.

Additionally, the drain outlets are interconnected with electropolished pipes, redirecting the juice to a 280 L juice pan.
