Filter press
THE FILTER PRESS OF THE LEADING FILTRATION CONTRACTOR: 1 MILLION OF HECTOLITRES FILTERED PER YEAR
The filter press is the only piece of filtration equipment that allows operations on all products encountered in a winery (from must deposit to pre-bottling wines), and in an extremely suitable and wine-friendly way.
A VERSATILE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT CAN WORK ON AN AUTO-FILTRATION OR ALLUVIAL-FILTRATION BASIS, ENABLING ALL WINERY PRODUCTS TO BE EFFICIENTLY FILTERED:
- Must deposit
- Lees
- Press wines
- Wines during ageing
- Pre-bottling wines
THE ONLY PIECE OF FILTRATION EQUIPMENT WITH A FILTRATION-SURFACE MODULARITY OF 10%-100%:
- Can filter all volumes
- Reduces dead volumes
THE PAETZOLD FILTER PRESS IS DESIGNED FOR HIGH-QUALITY OENOLOGICAL APPLICATION:
- Dissolved oxygen is managed by: a software program, flow rate, and nitrogen injection points that are operated by an automatic controller, which minimises the introduction of dissolved oxygen.
- Low surface flow rate, facilitating particle settling and allowing the use of looser earths, thus promoting oenological respect for the filtered products.
- Shear stresses are minimised thanks to adapted pumps, which considerably limit the number of agitations (tangential flow filter: up to 30 litres of wine agitated per 1 litre of wine filtered; bell filter, 5-20/1; Paetzold filter press, 2 (max)/1).
- Quantities of alluvium are optimised by using adapted pumps.
- A method and tools that promote drying of press cakes, thus minimising wine loss.
- Cloths that promote hygiene thanks to a specific surface treatment, minimising incrustation phenomena.
THE PAETZOLD FILTER PRESS IS A FASHION-PROOF AND LONG-LASTING FILTRATION TOOL:
- A robust design and few wearing parts, for a long service life
- Produces little effluent compared to other filtration solutions
- The filtration earths are recycled at a composting centre (sustainability)
POSSIBLE TO CUSTOM-BUILD A PRESS THAT IS FULLY INTEGRATED IN YOUR SITE, TAKING ACCOUNT OF:
- Available space
- Ergonomics
- Conditions of earth removal
- Winery entrance constraints
Besides providing the equipment, we train your teams our contractor’s know-how during a theoretical and practical course. We then support you over many years of use.

Lees filtration
Lees are often neglected in wineries because they are very hard to filter. Our lees filtration service lets you extract value from them by recovering 50% to 60% of clear wine.
