How to choose the most suitable grape press

Choosing the right grape press depends mainly on the quantity of grapes to be processed, the level of physical effort you want to reduce and the type of pressing you wish to achieve. In this category you will find lever presses, hydraulic grape presses and hydro-pneumatic presses, as well as subcategories dedicated to vertical hydraulic presses and spare parts for hydraulic jacks.

Lever grape press

The lever grape press is the simplest and most traditional solution. It is ideal for those processing small quantities or looking for a sturdy manual press that is easy to use and maintain. Pressure is applied through a mechanical ratchet system, with a central screw and lever.

It is available in different sizes, from diameter 15 to diameter 80. The structure includes a beech wood cage and metal parts painted with non-toxic products suitable for food contact.

Hydraulic grape press

The hydraulic grape press is recommended when you want to reduce physical effort and process larger quantities than with a manual press. The hydraulic jack applies more constant and powerful pressure to the grape pomace.

The available models start from diameter 50 and go up to diameter 80. They are designed for small, medium and large-scale production, with a beech wood cage, reinforced pressed steel basin and food-grade vaseline oil for winemaking included.

Hydro-pneumatic press

The hydro-pneumatic press is suitable for medium to large-scale production. Its movement includes a hydraulic downward stroke and a pneumatic return stroke. It is available in manual and electric versions, with diameters 60, 70 and 80.

Available options include the three-wheel trolley and the stainless steel cage. It is the right solution for those looking for a more advanced machine than a traditional manual or hydraulic grape press.

Vertical hydraulic presses and spare parts

For more professional needs, you can also browse the section dedicated to vertical hydraulic presses, designed for larger production volumes and winery operations where more organised work cycles are required.

If you need to repair or maintain a jack, in the spare parts for hydraulic jacks section you will find seals, pressure gauges, caps, curved rods, collars and other useful maintenance components.
