Enquire Online

Willmes have been pioneers in wine pressing technology for over 100 years and continue to produce cutting-edge presses with unique features and capabilities. 

The Sphera is developed for pressing red wine mash and whole grapes without rotation. Its patented 360° pressing principle and air distribution system means the membrane inflates evenly, forming a uniform pomace cake around the flexible juice channel. This enables optimum juicing at minimum pressure.

Whether filling the press with 100% or 10% grapes, an even cake forms around the FLEXIDRAIN juice channel, allowing the juice to be efficiently filtered through the cake - combining the principles of a traditional basket press, with the benefits of the modern  membrane press.

Models are available from 1000 to 2,000 litre capacities.

Sigma benefits include:

  • 360 Technology for Gentle Pressing - Providing a larger surface area for juice extraction, resulting in faster juicing, with much less pressure than a traditional basket press.
  • Reduced Lees - Grapes remain in place and are pressed evenly from all sides without damaging the skin resulting in a 70% reduction in lees in the juice compared to conventional presses.
  • Simple Filling - Simple and efficient, thanks to the frameless 600mm lid opening, can be easily filled directly with a conveyor belt, funnel or small reading boxes.

  • 360-degree special diaphragm enables high pressing quality - juice extraction with low pressure and low solids content. A large proportion of the juice is extracted without rotation.
  • Touch panel with 8 automatic programs, divided into 4 specially developed red wine pressing programs, 3 x standard white wine programs and 1 x special whole grape program for pressing sparkling base wines. The CIP program enables automatic cleaning of the press.
  • Large juice tray with two functions. For quick emptying, the pomace is emptied directly into the juice tray. The juice tray is inclined towards the drain to prevent the must from oxidizing too much. Juice tank can be moved and emptied using a forklift and turntable.
  • A central juice outlet for high flexibility. The valve can be closed for maceration and adjusted so the juice flows from the press into the juice tray at desired rate.
  • Two built-in waterproof Bluetooth speakers ensure that you have the right sound in the cellar.
  • Optional ladder for monitoring of the fill level.
