Hydraulic Wine Presses

How a vertical hydraulic wine press works

A vertical hydraulic wine press uses hydraulic pressure to transfer force from the piston to the pressing plate. The pressure is applied from top to bottom, compressing the grapes or pomace inside the cage.

The operating principle is based on Pascal’s principle, whereby pressure applied to a confined liquid is transmitted throughout the system. The machine is controlled from a panel mounted on the frame, while a pressure gauge allows the operating pressure to be monitored and adjusted.

When to choose a hydraulic wine press

This type of press is intended for more demanding processing requirements than smaller manual presses. It can be considered when larger quantities need to be handled or when a more structured hydraulic pressing system is required.

An optional second trolley can also help organise the workflow by allowing another load to be prepared while a pressing cycle is in progress, where this option is available for the selected model.

Cages, trolleys and available configurations

Depending on the model and configuration, hydraulic grape presses can be supplied with different cage and power options, including wooden cages, wooden cages with stainless steel hoops or full stainless steel cages.

The machines may be available with single-phase or three-phase electric motors. A wooden cage and push-button control panel are supplied as standard on the configurations described, while other cage variants or a PLC touch screen control panel may be available depending on the model.

Each offer includes one trolley and one cage. If you need a second trolley, check availability and request a quotation before purchasing.

Pressure system and technical equipment

The machines are Made in Italy, supplied with oil and apply pressure from top to bottom. They are equipped with a double-acting chrome-plated piston and a pressure gauge for pressure adjustment.

The operating pressure indicated for these machines is 350 atmospheres. Always consult the individual product page to verify the technical specifications of the exact model and configuration you are considering.

Hydraulic wine press or a different type of wine press?

A hydraulic wine press is a more specialised solution within the wider range of wine presses. If you are comparing manual lever presses, traditional hydraulic presses or hydro-pneumatic systems, you can also browse our wine presses section.

The most suitable choice depends on the quantity to be processed, the pressing system you prefer, the available space and the level of use expected from the machine.
