Wine Presses

How to choose a wine press

Choosing the right wine press depends mainly on the quantity of grapes or pomace you need to process, the way you prefer to work and the type of pressing system you require. The range includes manual lever presses, hydraulic presses and hydro-pneumatic solutions with different sizes and configurations.

Manual lever grape presses

A manual lever press uses a mechanical ratchet system with a central screw and lever to apply pressure. It is a straightforward option for smaller quantities and for users who prefer a fully manual pressing system.

The available manual models come in different sizes and use a beech wood cage with metal components treated with coatings suitable for food contact. You can compare the available configurations on the manual grape press product page.

Hydraulic and hydro-pneumatic presses

Hydraulic presses use a hydraulic jack to apply pressure, reducing the physical effort required compared with a traditional lever press. The models available in this category cover different sizes and processing requirements.

For applications that combine hydraulic pressure with pneumatic return, the hydro-pneumatic grape press provides a different operating configuration and is available in manual and electric versions.

Vertical hydraulic presses for higher processing requirements

If your requirements go beyond the hydraulic presses available directly in this category, you can explore the dedicated range of vertical hydraulic wine presses. This separate section contains the more specialised hydraulic solutions, so you can compare them without mixing them with the generic wine press range.

What should you compare before choosing?

Start with the quantity you expect to process and the type of operation you want to carry out. A manual lever press may be appropriate when you prefer a simple mechanical system, while hydraulic or hydro-pneumatic solutions can reduce manual effort and suit different processing requirements.

Also compare the press size, construction materials, operating system and any optional equipment shown on the individual product page before purchasing.

Wine press spare parts and maintenance

If you already own a press and need components for a hydraulic jack or related maintenance work, browse the dedicated section for wine press spare parts, where the available replacement components are listed separately from complete presses.
