When emptying the press with the door completely open, the large amounts of pomace in the first rotations can lead to clogging of the pomace (for example: pomace screw). The convenient solution is the emptying program, which allows a continuous emptying of the press.

With the mobility of the press, and with appropriate planning, important advantages in the production process can be achieved (in terms of time and quality). For example: driving the press from the place of filling (red wine tank) to the place of pressing or to the place of emptying (pomace disposal).

In addition to the complete opening or closing of the juice drain valve on the press, a partial opening may also be advantageous: With the manually controlled juice drain, the juice valve can also be opened step by step: thus, an undesired shooting out of the free juice during the door filling or axial filling can be comfortably controlled.

Well-known from Champagne production: The liter-controlled must separation is interesting for anyone who wants to get more out of their wine without having to operate valves manually. There are good reasons for it: - You want to offer different qualities to maximize the profit - To specifically process the various fractions according to their individual nature.

The UCE program structure with a total of 12 memory locations is based on a maximum of 9 cycles, which in turn can be repeated a maximum of 9 times to allow the best possible adaptation to the grapes. In the foreground is a gentle juicing with low pressing pressure in the shortest possible time. The operator can not only create any program step, but also automatically control the program history and program end.

The automatic program VSQ is a universal pressing program. For individual handling of each program, individual cycles can be repeated as required, entire sequences of cycles can be skipped or repeated, and specific cycles can be targeted. The VSQ automatic program can freely program up to 99 cycles. Each cycle consists of a pressure stage to increase the pressure to set pressure (p n), a pressure hold time (d n) and a number of rotations (R n). These parameters are freely programmable.

Filling via the doors of the press with whole bunches leads to a pouring cone, which complicates a complete filling of the press. Therefore, in order to be able to completely fill the press, the filling must be interrupted several times. This procedure is very time consuming and not gentle on the grape material.
