Sunshine has developed the vacuum press - a positive innovation in pressing technology. The patented new vacuum pressing system extracts must of a quality quite unachievable by traditional systems. Sunshine has abandoned the traditional idea of squeezing the must out grapes.Instead the new system uses a vacuum to extract the must and trough similar in appearance to traditional membrane presses,establishes new criteria for quality and processing efficiency which make other techniques obsolete.

Main Advantages
Instant separation of high percentages of must during the loading stage.
Improved must quality thanks to extremely low operating pressures(not above 0,7~0,9 atm,and never above atmospheric pressure).
Greater operational simplicity and total elimination of costs for additional plant such as compressors,air reserve lines,etc.
Significantly reduced installed power requirements compared to other pressing systems.
Possibility of inspecting the membrane even during pressing.
Possibility to process automatically in enviroments saturated with inert gas.
Possibility to carry out carbonic maceration and cryomaceration.
Minimistion of pressing times with clear advantages in must quality.
