Gentle, Efficient Pressing for Premium Juice Quality

Bucher XPro Pneumatic Grape Press

The XPro range (5–15 hL) offers intuitive touchscreen control, programmable press cycles, and is fully compatible with inert gas systems for advanced low-oxygen processing. The sealed tank includes a large opening for quick and easy filling and emptying of pomace. The range also features Bucher's patented self-cleaning perforated channel design that optimises must evacuation, reduces juice contact with solids, and simplifes cleaning between cycles.

Main Features

Gentle Pneumatic Pressing

Air-inflated membranes apply slow, even pressure, minimising mechanical stress on grapes and ensuring clean, high-quality juice extraction.

Programmable Cycles with Touchscreen Interface

Customise press cycles for different grape varieties and conditions using the intuitive touchscreen control system. Save and repeat programs for consistent results across batches.

Hygienic Design and Easy Cleaning

Smooth surfaces, a large filling and emptying door, and optional CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems simplify cleaning and reduce turnaround time between pressings.

Robust and Reliable Construction

Built by Bucher Vaslin for long-term performance, the XPro range features stainless steel construction and minimal moving parts for reliable daily operation.

Enhanced Juice Quality and Protection

Designed for low-oxygen processing, the XPro supports inert gas options and precise control to preserve colour, aroma, and clarity from the first stage of winemaking.

In-Tank Maceration

The XPro range supports in-tank maceration under sealed or inert-gas conditions, allowing pre-press cold soaks to enhance aroma and colour extraction while protecting juice from oxidation.

Axial Filling Option

Reduce grape damage and limit oxidation during loading with optional axial filling. This side-entry system allows for gentler grape handling — ideal for delicate varieties and whole bunches.
