INTELLIGENT PRESSING PROGRAM CONTROL

INTELLIGENT PRESSING PROGRAM CONTROL

The intelligent juice draining is ensured by a special juice pan equipped with tried and tested measuring sensors. During the entire pressing process, the juice drainage is monitored and the course of the pressing process constantly optimised. This results in a highly efficient pressing process ensuring optimal and gentle grape pressing.

Cooling Jacket WITH HIGH EFFICIENCY

WITH HIGH EFFICIENCY

  • Perfect adjustment of grape temperature to your oenological requirements.
  • For cooling down and keeping grape mash cool
  • For pre-cooling the pressing drum before the filling procedure
  • For warming up grapes which are too cold

On the container jacket of the press there is a large temperature control zone made of laser-welded Pillow-Plate (double-jacket). The cooling jacket can be run with water, water-glycol-mixture and glycol as well. As it runs in a close circuit, a permanent adding of media is not required. The desired inlet temperature is chosen on the customer’s cooling unit.

COOLING JACKET WITH EXTERNAL INSULATION

COOLING JACKET WITH EXTERNAL INSULATION

  • Cold or heat transfer to the press drum can be carried out in a much more targeted manner
  • Energy saving is considerable

The new cooling jacket makes it possible, for practically 90% of the refrigerating energy to be applied to the pressing basket. The sheetmetal cover platesare welded at the seams and thus ensure rapid and economic cleansing operations.

humidity control

RESIDUAL HUMIDITY MEASUREMENT

The residual humidity measurement values are digitally and precisely collected inside the press drum via a special sensor. The current value is displayed on the large touch display of the press control system at the end of each pressure stage and can be assessed directly thereafter. The intelligent pre-processing of the measurement values allows the user to set the residual humidity degree at which either a must separation or a pressing program end should be carried out.

Level control

Level control

FOR THE JUICE PAN

  • Version with stick electrodes in stainless steel
  • Including control and connection for juice pumps
  • Automatic interruption of the pressing program at the juice tray overfilled

The new, intelligent control of the juice pump analyzes how fast the juice level rises. The pump starts automatically before the actual switch-on point.

Press Systems


OPEN PRESS SYSTEM

EUROPRESS MODEL EP1 20-200 hl

In an open press system, one side of the press drum has very narrow conical slots. The shape and arrangement of these slots guarantees the highest juice quality and prevents the slots from clogging tray.

YOUR ADVANTAGE

  • Gentle pressing
  • Large filling door opening
  • Easy to clean
  • Efficient pressing times due to large juice draining surface

CLOSED PRESS SYSTEM

EUROPRESS MODEL EP2 20-200 hl

In a closed press system, the press drum is equipped with hinged or removable draining channels with very narrow slots. Through the outlet slots, the juice flows directly into the juice pan.

YOUR ADVANTAGE

  • Gentle pressing
  • Large juice draining surface
  • Perfectly suited for must holding time and must fermentation
  • Easy to clean due to hinged or removable interior juice channels

DUAL PRESS SYSTEM

EUROPRESS MODEL EP3 20-200 hl

The dual press system combines the advantages of an open and closed system. Thus, the grape-pressing process can either take place in an open or closed system - depending on your needs. The juice channels mounted on the press drum exterior can be removed or mounted in just a few simple steps, thus providing for long-time flexibility of the chosen press system.

YOUR ADVANTAGE

  • The system combines the advantages of an open and closed system
  • The exterior juice channels can be easily removed
  • Long-term flexibility for the chosen press system
  • Easy to clean
