SPO 2000 8000

Gravity or conveyor feeding: feeding through 2 doors.

The improvements include optimised pressing and cleaning, and ease of use and programming.

  • The compact design of the large-diameter tank optimises filling through the 2 doors and the self-filtration of juices through the pomace.
  • The pierced tank with vertical slots limits the rasping effect on the pomace (to ensure clearer juice) and guarantees excellent cleanability, reducing washing times and water consumption.
  • With automated control of the ramp(s), washing the press is quick and easy, taking less than 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.

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 PELLENC CONNECT (option), maintenance assistance and 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 flow of juice.

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.

The automatic washing system feeds in water through the axial feeding input and ensures optimal cleaning of the tank.

  • 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 controlled 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

The juice tank is moved by a pneumatic cylinder for cleaning.

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