The wine pump is particularly versatile and capable of conveying liquids of different viscosities. This makes it suitable for handling all the important wine production processes – including decanting the wine from tanks, conveying the pomace after fermentation and maceration, and bottling.
“Our customers in the wine industry expect a solution that is not only efficient, but also flexible and user-friendly. With the new wine pump with an integrated VY pump, we offer them exactly that,” said Harald Vogelsang, managing director of Vogelsang GmbH.
The new pump offers pulsation-free operation and the gentle conveying of the grapes and wine without any foam.
The pump is available in two sizes and five variants. It can be configured differently, depending on size and flow rate requirements. The solution is also designed for use in confined spaces that are difficult to access.
The new design also allows users to easily move the pump between different production areas.
“The new chassis has now a brand new functional design, which makes it much easier to transport the pump,” said Claudio Ragusa, Sales Engineer at Vogelsang Italy. “This is our response to our customers’ desire for greater flexibility and ease of use.”
The pump’s improved, gap-free design prevents material deposits – which makes cleaning easier and reduces maintenance work. The control technology simplifies daily handling and makes it possible to exchange data on pressures, flow rates, and work cycles. The pump is also equipped with a user-friendly touchscreen and can be controlled via an easy-to-use app that offers functions tailored to the wine industry.
The performance of the VY pumps for the wine industry ranges from 10-700 hl/h at a maximum pressure of 10 bar, depending on the application. The pumps consist of a flow-optimized, one-piece housing and therefore offer a high level of efficiency. The soft, elastomer-coated rotary pistons ensure a particularly gentle pumping process. The delivery direction of the pumps can be reversed, allowing containers to be filled or emptied as required. The solution is also characterized by its high suction power, reduced noise emissions, and ease of service and maintenance – the latter is also ensured by the integrated QuickService concept.
