Willmes Sphera: Membrane Pressing meets Basket Pressing
Willmes Sphera: Membrane Pressing meets Basket Pressing
Sphera is a round press with no corners or edges, designed for gentle pressing of small lots with minimal need for rocking or rotating. The patented 360-degree membrane inflates equally from all directions, resulting in higher yields at lower pressures and 70% less lees than traditional basket presses.
Large Filling Door
A two-foot filling door allows for quick filling via hopper or conveyor. Sphera does not need to be rotated or rocked to make room for additional fruit.
Dual Purpose Juice Tray and Emptying Bin
The juice tray also functions as an emptying bin and can be removed directly from the press via forklift.
Single Juice Outlet
The Sphera has a single juice outlet, allowing minimal oxygen ingress during the pressing cycle. The juice valve can be closed for skin contact and maceration.
Easy to Clean
The unique shape means there are no dead spots inside the press, and the clean-in-place (CIP) system makes cleaning extremely simple.
Sphera 2000 Capacity
Whole Cluster: One Ton
Destemmed Fruit: Three Tons
Post-Fermentation: Six Tons
About
Scott Laboratories Inc. (USA) and Scott Laboratories Ltd. (Canada) are privately held companies specializing in value-added products and services for the North American wine, craft brewing, and distilled spirits industries.
Our predecessor firm (the Berkeley Yeast Laboratory) was founded in the weeks prior to the end of Prohibition in 1933. Our vision is to provide the best customer service to the specialty beverage community. Our mission is to advance the long-term success of the specialty beverage community by providing best-in-class products and services. We believe in education, honesty, and doing the right thing.
Our first products were lab services and yeast. In the years that followed the needs of our industry customers led us first to cellar supplies, then to packaging and finally into processing and bottling equipment. It has been a 80+ year evolution driven by the concept of adding value.
Our current product portfolios include some of the most famous names in the wine, craft brewing, and spirits industries. In some cases, we have our own proprietary products (such as ScottPlus Dry-Steam Natural Cork and ScottCart filters) while in other cases we work with the industry's leading vendors and suppliers. You can check out virtually all of our offerings on our website at www.scottlab.com.
As of 2020, our companies have 90 employees. Our headquarters are in Petaluma, California and Pickering, Ontario. In addition, Scott Laboratories USA has locations in Healdsburg (Sonoma County) and Paso Robles.
