Willmes wine presses

 

Willmes based in Mannheim, Germany, invented the pneumatic wine press in 1951 and currently produce two types, the Merlin (1200-5100 litre) and the CIVC-approved Sigma (3-34 tonne).  

 

The much-copied Tank press with longitudinal juice channels was superceded in 2004 by the Sigma press, which like the Merlin range has central-vertical juice channels.  This means the grapes are never far from the point of extraction, and with electronic "pressure drop control" feedback system which bypasses less productive pressing steps, the result is higher overall juice quality with less solids in the must, reduced processing time and power and even maintenance costs due to the lower stress on the membrane. 

 

The Merlin 5100 has generated the most interest in NZ and is ideal for mid-size wineries.  More at www.willmes.de.
