INSTALLATION – SOUTH AUSTRALIA

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

The decision to purchase a Scharfenberger Europress was made based on knowing of the Scharfenberger reputation of excellence, the ease of operating, maintenance and cleaning. Plus other winemakers in the region had provided their positive feedback of being a Europress owner.

The advantage for the winery is this will half their total press time, saving time and money.
