BETTER UNDERSTAND AND CONTROL YOUR PRESSING PROCESS

Smart Graph is a decision-making aid that allows the winemaker to understand and optimise the pressing. It allows a diagnosis to be made in real time on the press screen or afterwards with the Smart Graph software on a PC. By analysing the curves, the winemaker can get an understanding of problems arising from filling, clogging, etc. and take steps to optimise the various pressing phases (filling, drainage, pressing, and so on). This has a direct impact on the quality of the wines (solids (bourbes) rate, rapid extraction of juices = limits oxidation) and decisions about bringing in the harvest.

The information transmitted to us from the presses with the Smart Graph application is a gold mine, we can understand the difficult pressings and thus better assist our customers to adjust the pressing programs.

Visualisation Of Pressing Curves

Smart Graph is a OAD that allows you to visualise the behaviour of pressings in real time or afterwards.

The following information can be displayed:

• Pressure applied by the membrane

• Axial feeding pressure (in the case of axial filling)

• Quantity of juice extracted

• Complete juice height (computer version only): percentage of juice run-off/total juice according to time elapsed

• Antioxidant injection (with ENOXY+ option)

• Conductivity (with conductivity monitoring, option)

• As well as 3 additional possible parameters (depending on options)

Pressing data is stored on an SD board in the press interface.

Pomace Emptying

• Thanks to a display of the various parameters in the form of a graph

Operational Traceability Of The Pressing Cycles

Display of all pressing curves

• Integration of volumes by phases

• Data export in excel or jpg format

Optimised Pressing

• Save time on pressing, better management of pressing cycles (stages, rotations) in real time and afterwards

• Rationalise the harvest input = optimise the logistics of the supply.
