The quality of a wine is not only determined by the grape variety, vinification and pressing - even the path from the grape to the press has a decisive influence on the aroma, yield and purity of the must. With its sales products, Willmes offers a selection of technically proven systems that cover all aspects of grape processing before pressing - from reception and conveying to de-stemming and mash conveying
In this article, we provide an in-depth overview of the most important components and show the benefits that the right additional systems offer for modern wineries.
Modern winemaking also means structuring processes in such a way that time, resources and quality are optimally balanced. A pneumatic wine press works most efficiently when the process beforehand - from bringing in the grapes to filling the press - is continuous, gentle and loss-free.
Willmes is therefore supplementing its own product portfolio with high-quality sales products from renowned manufacturers that close this gap. This provides winegrowers with customized system solutions for their processing lines - tailored to their business, variety structure and cultivation goals.
The first point of contact in the cellar is usually the grape reception. This is where it is decided whether processing will start smoothly or whether bottlenecks will occur. Willmes offers a vibrating hopper for this purpose, which enables the grapes to be fed evenly to downstream processes.
For many grape varieties, it is advisable to separate or crush the grapes before pressing. Through its sales network, Willmes offers various models of destemmers with vibration support and grape crushers, which can be selected individually depending on the variety, quantity and target quality.
The devices can be adapted to different throughput rates and allow both pure destemming and controlled mash preparation, which is an important prerequisite for clear musts and stable fermentation processes.
Whether at the grape reception, between the destemmer and the press or for redistributing the mash - conveyor belts are a central element of many wineries. They allow linear, continuous feeding, especially for varieties or sites with a sensitive berry structure.
Willmes sells conveyor belts that can be individually configured in terms of length and speed. The conveyor belts are equipped with a connection to prevent juice loss.
In addition to the large system components, the sales range also includes practical accessories that make work in the cellar more efficient and safer - including pumps, hoppers, cleaning racks and cleaning accessories.
These often underestimated elements make a significant contribution to hygiene, process speed and user-friendliness - especially during reading, when every move has to be right.
Purchasing presses and processing technology from a single source has decisive advantages. On the one hand, interface problems are eliminated as the systems are coordinated with each other. Secondly, winegrowers only have one central point of contact - from planning to maintenance.
Willmes provides expert advice, selection, delivery and integration of suitable systems - always with a view to quality, operational reliability and sustainability.
Willmes sees itself not only as a manufacturer of innovative wine presses, but also as a holistic partner for quality winemaking. The sales products ideally complement the portfolio and also enable the upstream processing steps to be designed to the highest technical standards.
Anyone investing in modern cellar technology today should consider the entire process chain - from the grape to the must. Willmes supports you in finding the right solution: technically sophisticated, operationally sensible and a secure long-term investment.
