Press 29L 30cm ratchet for wine

The 30 cm lever press is a tool of exceptional quality, fundamental in wine production, capable of efficiently extracting must from marc thanks to a powerful lever. Made entirely in Italy, it provides small producers and farms with a product of the highest standard. It consists of a cage with wooden staves with a diameter of 30 cm and a capacity of 50 kg of grapes. The cage is supported by a strong metal skeleton, adequate to withstand even high pressures. The central screw is made of drawn steel to ensure longevity.

• Cast iron ratchet
• Cage made of evaporated beech wood slats and removable pins
• Drawn steel screw that guarantees a long life over time

Technical data:

• Internal diameter of cage: 300 mm
• Cage height: 410 mm
• Weight: 39 kg
• Load capacity: 50 kg of grapes

Usage:

1. Getting started: Before using the press, remove any dust particles from inner parts with a brush and/or air blast. Use a damp cloth to clean the cage, semi-circular wooden press plates and pawls.

2. Filling the press: Remove all interior wood pieces and close the cage using the plugs supplied. Lift the jack upwards along the threaded screw (turning counterclockwise), fill the cage with grape pulp and insert the two semi-circular wooden press plates. Place the wooden blocks on top perpendicular to the half-moons.

3. Preparing the pressing: Lower the jack clockwise until it rests on the wooden blocks. Insert the metal pawls into the round holes of the crown. Insert the handle into the hole on the ratchet.

4. The pressing: Stand in front of the ratchet, grab with both hands and move forward and backward. When the jack is lowered to the top of the cage edges, stop to refill. After the last pressing, bring the ratchet up (counterclockwise), remove all wood blocks and cage, pull out the pomace and clean thoroughly.
