Automation has long been a feature of press extraction, with intelligent programming integrated as a feature in the press range for many years. But artificial intelligence, or AI, integrated into juice extraction is something of another level when discussing the use of membrane press technology.  This new pressing AI system automates every phase of production: from grape reception to washing system, up to pomace discharge after pressing. This makes the job easier for winemakers allowing for focus on other patterns that require their knowledge and skills. In addition - the various peripheral technologies, such as automatic robotic ‘clean-in-place’ and retracting water collection trays, enables wash water to be harvested and treated for reuse - a feature that has long been integrated into various other Della Toffola press models. Join us for this in-depth overview of how AI is being utilized in production as we demonstrate its benefits to winemakers. Webinar Presenters:
