The model VX100 is compact and very easy to transport in the mobile version. This makes it ideal for using as a main pumping station for small and medium-size wineries, where all possible media are pumped with only a single pump, as for example whole grapes, must, lees or pomace.

The mobile version of the model VX136 can be used on smaller wineries as a central pump station and for many different applications. The pump in a mobile version is very easy to move and to maintain. As an alternative it can be used as a fixed pump for bigger wineries, and only for certain applications, for example for bottling or cooling. The wine pump VX136  can also be configured as a complete pump system equipped with a hopper for pumping whole grapes.
• VX186 Wine Pump:  The Sturdy Wine Pump – VX186 is our most powerful pump system for the wine industry.

The pump can be installed with a special hopper and together with a screw conveyor to pump gently the grapes into the pump chamber. Thanks to the high capacity of this model, another application is to install the pump fixed in the winery and use it as where a big capacity is needed. The size of this model is small if we compare its capacity with a similar progressive capacity pump, providing extra advantages.
