Optimised design for maximum performance

The improvements are significant: superior drainage, optimised pressing time, ease of use.

• The compact design of the large-diameter tank optimises filling through the 2 doors and the self- filtration of juices through the pomace
• Increase drainage surface
• The Fast Press pierced grids with vertical slots ensure easy drainage and washing: the grids open quickly for thorough cleaning; daily washing is optimised, averaging 30 minutes
• A coil brings the pomace to the door(s) for a complete and fast emptying of the press
• A technical access hatch (inspection hatch) facilitates access to the air part of the tank and maintenance of the membrane

Simple and inteliigent programming Champenois programming - PELLENC PATENT

The intuitive Touch Press interface makes it easy to use and get to grips with:

• Programs saved on USB flash drive for perfect traceability
• Real-time information on any anomalies, so operators can react more quickly
• With P-Connect (option), maintenance assistance, diagnostics

Normal mode: the Smart Press pressing cycle runs automatically in successive steps of a multiple of 200 mbar. Pressure maintenance is programmed by time delays.

Regulation by the juices mode: the pressing cycle is set according to the juice flow. With the pressure sensor positioned on the air side, the Smart Press PLC calculates and adjusts the pressure at each stage to compensate for the juice flow.

Optimal option: the electromagnetic flowmeter measures flow volume and real-time flow rate. Based on the specificities of Champenois pressing (1st juice, vat, size) and the user’s instructions, the Smart Press PLC adapts the pressure, the duration of the stages, and reduces the number of rotations (additional presses) with the objective of obtaining the desired result in three presses.

Evolution option: the Smart Press PLC adapts pressing according to the volume in the belon.

Automatic sulfite doser Optimal (with flowmeter) Ingas Evolution Connected press

The automatic sulfite doser controlled by the operation of the press offers the winemaker multiple options for the continuous dosing of sulfite into the must. It also gives the choice of solution dosages for the cuvée (vat) and sizes, and flow regulated by the juice flow in the case of the Optimal program.

• The Touch Press screen displays the remaining volumes to be run off
• Slaving the Sulfite doser to the Smart Press PLC neutralises the pump during delays, power outages, or unforeseen stoppages
• PVC bin, peristaltic dosing pump

The electromagnetic flow meter measures the juice flow and the Smart Press PLC automatically controls the selection of the belon compartments

• Regulation of the pressing cycle according to the juice runoff
• Automatic selection of additional stages at the end of the pressing
• Calculation of the number of rotations according to the run-off volume
• Obtaining the desired result with a minimum additional presses

This system allows an optimised pulse injection of neutral gas under the drainage grids during pressing. It ensures the inerting of the juice coming out of the press. See detailed page at the end of this chapter.

Depending on the volume measured in the belon's cuvée compartment, the Smart Press PLC adapts and regulates the pressing.

Optional extra. Find out more about the connected wine press.
