Quality you can rely on: Over 45 years of experience, know-how and innovation combined in this grape press.

Since 1971, when we marketed our first Europress, we set the standard in gentle grape processing. Continuous development and consistently high quality, state-of-the art technology, self-developed and manufactured electronic controls, flexibility and reliable customer service makes the new Europress the benchmark in gentle grape processing. The new Europress is characterized by its value and durability, use of high-grade components, user-friendliness, all of which also applies to its electronic control unit.

OPEN PRESS SYSTEM
EUROPRESS MODEL P

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 up.

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 T

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 S

We are the first manufacturer of grape presses to offer a dual press system, which 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

CLOSED SYSTEM WITH COOLING / HEATING SURFACE
EUROPRESS COOL – MODEL TC WITH COOLING JACKET, FROM 20 HL

The new Europress-Cool allows you to cool the grapes before, during and after the pressing. This way, adverse temperature effects can be prevented and you can keep your cool even if harvest weather turns out to be too warm once again. Effective cooling or heating. Just as you the winemaker require.

The Europress-Cool allows to perfectly match grape temperatures to your oenological requirements. With the new Europress-Cool, you can cool down the grape must and keep it at the desired temperature. Prior to filling, the press drum can be cooled or even heated in case the grapes are too cold. What's more: You can use the Europress-Cool for holding time, cold maceration and to slow down biological processes

INTELLIGENT CONTROL
TREND-SETTING EASE OF OPERATION

The intelligent juice outlet operates in combination with a special sensor-equipped juice pan. Throughout the whole press procedure, the draining juice volume is monitored for continuous press process optimization. This ensures a highly efficient press process and an optimal, gentle pressing of the grapes. The “intelligent” juice draining procedure is fully automated and the operator only has to select the type of juice outlet dynamics or desired degree of extraction.

INERT GAS PRESS

The inert gas press system guarantees absolutely reductive press procedures. This system can only be used in a closed press system (T models). Modifications of the inlet and outlet air ducts on the press drum, juice channels and hermetically sealed juice pan ensure that the juice only comes into contact with inert gas in the course of the pressing process. Pertinent studies confirm that wines the must of which has been processed in an inert atmosphere have far more pronounced primary fruit aromatics.

PRESSURE FERMENTER
PRESSURE MAKES DIAMONDS

In addition to its normal application as a grape press, the pressure fermenter extension offers the highly interesting option of using the press as a horizontal must fermentation tank. This system also provides for an accelerated digestion of white must. The pressure fermenter extension based on the pressure relief principle is simply attached to the connecting port on the press drum and connected to the corresponding control lines. The pressure relief program provides that the range up to 2 bar is used for the required customer-specific relief cycles. The press interior can either be compressed by the carbon dioxid generated during must fermentation, but also by external gas supply. During this process, the press is in idle state (no rotary movement possible) and the pressure fermenter unit’s safety devices ensure that the pressure relief cycles can be executed in a trouble-free manner.
