Combining innovation and design, the company develops and manufactures membrane press lines suitable for wineries large and small. We provide extensive customization according to individual needs and also make it possible to incorporate machines and equipment in fully automated lines.
Defranceschi provides a range of optimized wine—making systems designed to meet specific oenological criteria. Complete wine—making systems can be fully integrated into the winery line. They constitute a versatile, comprehensive tool that gives wine—makers precise control over the parameters that determine final product quality.
The simpler Basic line includes a range of fermentation tanks able to meet all wine-making needs.
Defranceschi designs, develops and markets complete machine and equipment lines — modular to meet the individual needs of the winery — for grape reception and initial processing: from harvesting to sorting, selection and transfer to further processing lines.
The highest quality wines require the highest quality fruit. Defranceschi is proud to partner with and support Protec Sorting Equipment which has developed a dedicated line for sorting berries and for quick and accurate elimination of foreign bodies such as rachises, leaves, leaves’ stems, and insects. The line includes the Roll Feeder Grader which properly distributes the berries and prepares them for inspection. It also performs the first stage of berry selection by separating stems, pedicels, seeds and skins thanks to a simple but effective mechanical roller system. The state-of-the-art X-Tri optical sorter then thoroughly sorts white and red grapes, removing not only defective but also underripe berries. The Protec X-Tri optical sorters provide the ultimate combination of quality and capacity ranging from 5 to 15 tons/hour.
For our customers, we’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during harvest time.
Parts are stocked and available from THREE U.S. warehouses.
Defranceschi is a part of the SACMI USA group, who has more than 25 years of service and experience.
