Presses & Drainers

The Universal Press, originally developed by Willmes has since 1984 featured a Double Membrane press design that has been highly sought after by winemakers for the high quality juice extracted plus a top opening almost the length of the tank. This make top loading of whole bunches or even red ferments quick and easy, furthermore it allows quick anmd easy unloading and cleaning without having to enter the tank!

In contrast to a half-sided membrane, the double-sided membrane has a substantially larger (double) area of pressure application. In terms of physics, this means less pressure expenditure and less compression of the grape material at the same force, acting uniformly from all sides.

Furthrmore having the vertical screens in the centre, the juice has less distance to reach them and therefore drainage occurs quicker and in greater volumes especially in the filling and first pressing phases.
