SMART PRESS
SPC 240 - 600

The high-quality, smart, large-capacity wine press

The Smart Press range of pneumatic presses meets the expectations of the most demanding winemakers. The Fast Press press grids and intuitive Touch Press control interface make it easy to get the best out of your juices.

High quality juices

  • The juices are protected
  • The juice run-off goes directly into the closed and inert juice tank
  • The aromas and colours are preserved
  • Easy Press 2 smart pressing cycles
  • The juice is clear, not cloudy, thanks to self-filtration through the pomace
  • The Ingas and Enoxy+ system protects against oxidation
  • The juices at the end of the pressing are better protected and more valuable

Optimised pressing

  • Speed between pressing cycles
  • Optimised filling time/volume with the EasyFillprogram as standard
  • Choice of cycle depending on the profile sought
  • Savings in water and energy
  • The press can be used for skin maceration
  • Fewer winemaking additives used

Simple and intuitive to use

  • Ergonomic and intuitive Touch Press colourtouchscreen
  • Easy Press 2 smart cycle and end-of-pressmanagement as standard
  • Reduced handling by the operator
  • Complete and rapid emptying of pomace
  • Connected press for real-time remote information

Optimised washing

The automatic washing system integrated into the presses allows:

  • Fast and easy washing of the press with the Fast Press pierced grids with vertical slots (30 to 45 min)
  • Reduced water consumption
  • Shorter washing time at the end of the day
SP 240 600

Pneumatic axial feeding: feeding by grape pump. 
Optimisation via EasyFill program controlled by Touch Press screen.

Gravity or conveyor feeding: door feeding (1 or 2 doors).

The nnovative design of the SMART PRESS offers a number of improvements:

  • The Fast Press drainage grids allow for better drainageand easier washing
  • Increase drainage surface
  • Optimised filling capacity, complemented by theEasyFill program
  • Rapid pressing: up to 1 hour less than a conventionaldrain press (depending on the grape varietal, maturity,and health of the grapes and the press fill rate).

The integrated automatic washing systems allow the press to be washed in 30 to 45 minutes. The fast grid opening system makes it easier to thoroughly wash the tank.

The membrane is made of food-grade polyurethane material with both sides complying with EC/FDA food standards, allowing pressing with a very small quantity of harvest. An air diffusion drain balances the pressure on the membrane. 
A coil brings the pomace to the doors for complete, fast draining of the press.
A technical access hatch (inspection hatch) facilitates access to the air part of the tank and maintenance of the membrane.

The intuitive Touch Press touchscreen interface and the Easy Press 2 smart pressing system simplify use from the outset:

  • Pressing cycles customised to meet the needs of the winery (logistics, quality, etc.)
  • Modification of the pressing program in real time
  • Save programmes (in advanced mode) on a USB flashdrive for perfect traceability
  • EASY PRESS automatic pressing cycle according to2 simple criteria: quality and dryness of the pomace
  • Real-time information on possible anomalies forincreased operator responsiveness

1.Advanced (customisable)

  • Programming of the different pressing phases by the operator: pressure, hold time, number of breaking-up cycles
  • 20 programs with 99 possible programming lines

2.Easy Press 2 (smart)

  • The automatic controller manages the pressingcycles according to the juice runoff and the end ofthe cycles depending on the desired degree of drying.The operator adjusts these 2 criteria called "quality"and "dryness" on the Touch Press screen.
  • Pressing time and number of breaking up cyclesoptimised
  • Improved quality of extracted juices
  • Pressing stops according to the pomace drying rate
  • 5 predefined types of harvests: destemmed grapes,whole clusters, fermented pomace, damaged grapes, end of maceration

In addition to Ingas, it is possible to inject a neutral gas (nitrogen or CO2) during crumbling in order to obtain optimal protection against must oxidation.

Manual must selection is programmable as standard: at each stage set by the operator, the press stops and sounds an alarm while waiting for authorisation to move on to the next stage.
As an option, the automated juice selector directs must to 2 channels according to criteria defined by the oenologist: phases of the pressing cycle, elapsed time, conductivity. The conductivity probe positioned at the juice collector's outlet ensures a qualitative juice selection based on the conductivity of the juice flowing out.

Pressing cycle controlled according to juice flow. Programming via Touch Press screen.

Optional extra. Find out more about the connected wine press

Systems controlled by the PLC via the Touch Press screen. Find out more about ENOXY + and INGAS.

This system optimises the injection of neutral gas under the drainage grids during pressing, which renders the juices emerging from the press inert.

“We opted for four Smart Press SPC 600 machines because their grape pressing technology is so much more advanced. We also rearranged the layout of the winery so that we can now take in up to 900 metric tons each day. We couldn’t have got the machines up and running properly without the support provided by PELLENC PERA ŒNOPROCESS before and after we installed them.”
