Vogelsang launches flexible, user-friendly wine pump
Vogelsang is introducing a wine pump with a redesigned, contemporary design, pulsation-free functioning, and the ability to gently transport grapes and wine without producing any foam.
“Our customers in the wine industry expect a solution that is not only efficient, but also flexible and user-friendly. With the new wine pump with an integrated VY pump, we offer them exactly that,” says Harald Vogelsang, managing director of Vogelsang. The company presented the new pump for the first time at the SIMEI in Italy.
The wine pump is capable of conveying liquids of different viscosities. This makes it suitable for handling all the important wine production processes – including decanting the wine from tanks, conveying the pomace after fermentation and maceration, and bottling.
The wine pump is available in two sizes and five variants. It can be configured differently, depending on size and flow rate requirements. The solution is also designed for use in confined spaces that are difficult to access.
“The new chassis has now a brand new functional design, which makes it much easier to transport the pump,” says Claudio Ragusa, sales engineer at Vogelsang Italy. “This is our response to our customers’ desire for greater flexibility and ease of use.” The new design allows users to easily move the pump between different production areas.
The pump’s improved, gap-free design prevents material deposits – which makes cleaning easier and reduces maintenance work. The control technology simplifies daily handling and makes it possible to exchange data on pressures, flow rates, and work cycles. The pump is also equipped with a user-friendly touchscreen and can be controlled via an easy-to-use app that offers functions tailored to the wine industry.
The performance of the VY pumps for the wine industry ranges from 10-700 hl/h at a maximum pressure of 10 bar, depending on the application. The pumps consist of a flow-optimised, one-piece housing and therefore offer a high level of efficiency. The soft, elastomer-coated rotary pistons ensure a particularly gentle pumping process. The delivery direction of the pumps can be reversed, allowing containers to be filled or emptied as required. The solution is also characterised by its high suction power, reduced noise emissions, and ease of service and maintenance – the latter is also ensured by the integrated QuickService concept.
