NIKO Pneumatische Presse

Overview

This NIKO VP11e is a horizontal pneumatic (membrane) press for whole or destemmed grapes, built in 2008 by NIKO (Nikolaj Šraml s.p., Podnanos, Slovenia). The press is made entirely of stainless steel and runs a fully automatic, multi-stage pressing program once started: grapes are loaded through the two perforated cylinder doors or axially, an internal membrane inflates against the load to extract juice at progressively increasing pressure, and the cylinder rotates between stages to break up ("crumble") the pressed cake ahead of the next drain cycle. Juice drains into a wheeled collection pan under the cylinder with a pump connection; pomace is discharged by rotating the open door face-down over the pan.

The press is mounted on castors for repositioning and remains still installed and under power at the seller's winery in Spain. It can be inspected in operation on request.
