Overview
Sraml's VPi series of inert pneumatic membrane presses saturate the press interior with nitrogen, preventing oxidation and contributing to fresh, aromatic wines that are impossible to produce with conventional membrane presses. Delicate varietal aromas, natural antioxidants, and intense flavors are all preserved throughout the pressing cycle in the hermetically sealed interior chamber.
VPi Series presses offer all features from Sraml's standard line of presses, but add the INERTIS system of pressing. Loading, pressing, and juice collection are all carried out under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen.
Sraml is committed to advancing winemaking technology. As a result, the INERTIS is equipped with a number of features that can elevate your art, including a large touchscreen terminal that allows you to monitor the press cycle and control pressing on the fly.
