Customised to your needs

The Smart Plunger™ is a versatile unit that can be customised and installed into just about any red wine making system.

The plunging unit can be constructed in a variety of sizes and mounted to a variety of positioning and transport systems to enable manual, semi-automatic or fully automated plunging of red wine ferments

Plunging open-top fermenters

View the technical diagram availablebelow. As you can see, the plunger is mounted on a rolling carriage. Electric motors actuate movement on both horizontal axes, allowing full access to a bank of open-top fermenters with the plunger head.

To move from tank to tank, the plunging cylinder is retracted to a horizontal position and the head is placed in the wash box and flushed with water during transport.
