Wine Press

Unlike tabletop and fruit presses that use a moving screw and plate, these presses use a stationary threaded shaft with a ratcheting head to do the pressing with a greater amount of torque and capacity. Select a press that will meet your pressing requirements. Generally, 2 cases of grapes will yield 6 gallons of wine. Each case of grapes weighs approximately 36 pounds. For reference a Number 30 press will readily accommodate two cases of grapes at one pressing. Wine Press includes:

A pressed steel base with threaded shaft and drain pan.
Split wood basket with metal bands, hinges and pins.
Wood pressing plate and wood blocking.
Ratcheting head with metal knives or keys.

The bladder press was designed to improve the traditional wooden-basket ratchet-style press. A rubber bladder expands from the stem outward using water pressure to press the fruit against the sides of the cage. This style of pressing is much more subtle and softer on the fruit, and does not allow bitter tannins to be extracted from cracked seeds. Water is recommended to inflate the press rather than air; no more than 20psi is needed for most fruits. Stainless steel cage with painted lid and basin. CAGE: 16.5 x 2.83 CAPACITY: 21.13 gl. OVERALL: 27.6 x 42.3 WGT: 80 LB.
