Europress EP2 65
Due to extra growth over the season, this Barossa Valley winery decided it was time to increase their pressing capacity and choose the EP2 Closed press 65 with a static whole bunch hopper.
Our Tanium Technical Services team were there to manage the install and training with the client, just in time for the crush happening the following day.
Europress by Scharfenberger. Known for its reliability, build quality and simplicity of operation and cleaning, Europress is the press winemakers turn to.
INSTALLATION
