Description
The Gamma series pneumatic side membrane press is the ideal solution for obtaining superior product in the pressing of both freshly harvested grapes and fermented must. The presses are completely made of stainless steel, with a large central opening to facilitate both filling and emptying. The technology used allows the management of each pressing phase the highest quality output.
PLC Screen Control
Using the 7 inch PLC touch screen you have access to 12 preset and 30 custom pressing programs as well as a manual option. A unique time saving feature of the Enoitalia press is he availability of a skip forward option to advance to the next segment in your program. This can save considerable time,
Sealed Drum
This is a closed cylinder press which reduces oxidation during the pressing cycle to help ensure quality. Pressed juice exits the drum via drainage channels that are covered with slotted stainless steel screens. The very highest-end commercial presses use a similar closed cylinder system. The Gamma is easily cleaned at the end of the session by easily removing the internal drain channel screens, without the need for tools, through the wide access doors. An additional benefit of the sealed drum is that it is possible to use the press for all or part of a fermentation.
Buffer Tank with Level Sensor
The Gamma presses include a buffer tank with level sense at the bottom of the press. Via a separate control panel, an external single-phase Enotialia pump (not included) can be connected to turn off and on to move wine from the buffer tank into your storage tanks. The outlet of the buffer tank is 1.5" Tri-Clamp. The collection buffer is on wheels for the 8, 10, and 17. Permanently installed on the 22.
Axial Load Valve
All Gamma presses come standard with a 3" axial loading ball valve port on the cylinder that allows must to be pumped in. We consider this an essential feature on a press otherwise you are limited to dumping or pumping in through the top access doors. Pumping in through the bottom increases the volume you fit into the drum and reduces oxidation.
Cleaning
With the drain channel screens removed by hand the unit is easily washed internally from the large hatch doors. On very large presses there is a need for internal washing systems but on presses of this size they are easily washed through the large hatch access doors. Gamma presses have two drum drains for easier cleaning. A standard drain and then the 3" axial load valve acts as a second drain.
