PELLENC PERA ŒNOPROCESS R&D engineers have come up with simple, efficient systems that improve Smart Press pressing efficiency. There are significant improvements: better filling capacity, improved drainage, optimised pressing time, and they are easy to use.

The new Smart Press has features to help with cleaning.

In the closed-cage version, the Fast Press drainage grids have few nooks and crannies and help ensure the pomace is completely removed.

The built-in automatic washing systems help reduce washing time to less than 30 minutes.

The design has been optimised to make washing the press easier:
The fast grid opening system makes it easier to thoroughly wash the tank. Daily washing is faster: 30 minutes on average.
No more inaccessible corners, the vat is cleaned perfectly!

The emptying coil brings the pomace towards the selected door, so it can be removed entirely.

The Fast Press drainage grids enable better drainage and easier washing.

Increased drainage surface

Capacity from 4,000 to 12,000 kg

CONTENU

The various parameters are displayed simultaneously, so the operator can see the progress of the pressing process in real time. You can intervene at any time to make changes or disseminate information.

• Traceability of the pomace, possibility of saving programs
• Assistance with maintenance and diagnostics

Normal mode: the automatic cycle takes place in successive steps at intervals of 200 mbar. Pressure maintenance is programmed by time delays.

Regulation by the juices mode: the automatic pressing cycle is set according to the juice flow. The pressure sensor on the air side calculates the pressure increase at each stage to compensate for the juice flow.

Optimal option: the quality-certified smart program in the PELLENC PERA ŒNOPROCESS range. An electromagnetic flow meter measures the volume of juice that has already flowed out and the current flow rate. The PLC takes into account the characteristics of champagne pressing (1st juice, vatful, size) and the user’s requests: it adapts the pressure, the duration of the stages, and reduces the number of rotations and pressure releases with the objective of obtaining the desired result in three presses.

Evolution option: pressing is adapted 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 is controlled by the press. It offers the winemaker a wide range of options for continuous injection of sulfites into the must, choice of dosage according to the vatful and the sizes, and rate in proportion to the outflow of juice in the case of the Optimal programme.
• Display on the Touch Press screen of the remaining volumes to be run off, the volumes calculated for the PLC. Furthermore, the sulfite doser’s control over the press program neutralises the pump during delays, power outages, or unforeseen stoppages.

PVC bin with a capacity of 6 litres, peristaltic dosing pump.

The electromagnetic flowmeter allows a precise selection of juices in each compartment of the belon according to the flow.
This allows an automatic and qualitative operation of the pressing with our Optimal mode.
Description of the option:

• The pressing cycle is regulated by the juice run-off, which is measured by an electromagnetic flowmeter
• Automatic selection of additional stages when the pressing has finished
• The number of rotations is calculated according to the volume of juice run-off
• The desired result is obtained with minimal restacking

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