Bladder Press | Hydro Press | Stainless Steel | 300L | Grapes | Fruit

    Description

    • High-capacity, commercial-grade stainless steel fruit press
    • Bladder press offers an effortless process that is more efficient and gentler on the fruit
    • Can be used with 3/4 hose and water supply that provides at least 36 psi of pressure
    • Rotating basket allows for easy disposal of the pressed grapes
    • Mounted to welded frame with rolling casters for smooth mobility around the winery
    • Made in Italy by Marchisio

    Bladder presses offer a gentler yet more efficient press with less operator effort and the ultimate in press-control. You will extract more juice and less tannins. Attach your water supply line to the 3/4" barbed water inlet at the base of the unit. Water fills up the interior rubber bladder which expands and presses the grapes against the outer stainless steel screen. 35 p.s.i water pressure (2.5 bar) is the maximum pressure you would need to operate. Two sleeves are provided with the press. One a mesh sleeve is placed inside the press and the other is an outer plastic sleeve that is placed over the top of the press to keep the pressed fruit from squirting out. After pressing, the entire stainless basket rotates and the inner mesh sleeve can be pulled out with most of the pressed grapes coming with it. We use this press in our own small production. A platform was built for the press to sit on so that when we rotate the basket we can dump directly into a macrobin. Use a must pump to pump up into the press. In each press load we do approximately 110 gallons of red wine must (letting free run on through) which works out to be about 3/4 of a macrobin. We can press 7 tons of fruit in a long day.

    80 gallon capacity (not including bladder.) 85" Overall height with a basket diameter of 25.5". A great press for the small winery. We used this press in 2004 to press 7 tons of cabernet. A local winery used two of them side by side to press over 50 tons. A joy to use.

    FAQ:

    • Can the press be operated with air pressure?
      • No. These are hydraulic presses that may only be operated with water. When operating with compressed air, there is a risk of explosion and a very high risk of injury if the membrane bursts due to excess pressure or damage.
    • Is a minimum water pressure required?
      • In order to ensure the function and the best possible yield, there should be a minimum water pressure of 2-2.5 bar on the press.
    • What if the water supply delivers more than 3 bar?
      • In principle, this is not a problem, as if the water pressure inside the press exceeds 3 bar, the pressure relief valve opens and there is no pressure-related damage.
    • How many apples make how much juice?
      • On average, 50kg (110 lbs) of apples produce around 30-35L (8-9 gal) of juice, depending on the variety and quality of the apples.
