Motorized membrane press made of AISI 304 stainless steel mounted on wheels, featuring the following characteristics:
- Partially perforated 10 hl tank made of AISI 304 stainless steel.
- Tank rotation system with motor variator.
- Central elastic membrane made of non-toxic food-grade rubber, operating at pressures up to 1 bar, significantly lower than other pressing systems, thus improving the quality of the extracted must.
- Manually operated central loading and unloading door.
- Sliding must collection tank made of AISI 304 stainless steel with quick coupling and release system.
- Quick compressed air connection for use with an external compressor (compressor optional).
- Pressure gauge for monitoring operating pressures.
- Valves for membrane pressure and vacuum control.
- Safety valve calibrated at 1.5 bar.
The HOBY series membrane presses are patented and adopt the widely used membrane pressing process in a simple, efficient, and economical way. A central elastic membrane inflated with compressed air presses the grapes against the walls of the cylindrical tank. In this way, the must is completely extracted from the fruit.
All working phases are carried out by the operator using a gear motor through drum rotation. These phases include grape loading, pressing, must collection, and pomace discharge. All that is required is an external compressor to inflate and deflate the membrane.
Indicative data – varying according to different grape varieties:
- Whole grape loading capacity: 800 kg
- Crushed or destemmed grape loading capacity: 1800 kg
- Fermented grape loading capacity: 2500 kg
- Power: 1 kW – 220V
- Dimensions: 2000 × 1000 × h1500 mm
- Approximate weight: 350 kg
Optional accessories:
- 50 L compressor – 8 bar – 2.5 HP at 220V for membrane inflation and deflation operations.
- PLC with integrated program for automatic management of processing phases.
