Mori's basket press have received form and function updates for 2017, making them more beautiful and easier to use than ever.

The Food-Grade Plastic Basket:

Whenever winemakers walk past a press with a wooden basket in our shop they always stop, do a double-take, and say the same thing: "That's beautiful…but I'd hate to have to clean it". We've long-since transitioned to stainless steel baskets for all but the most aesthetically-obsessed winemakers. Still, there's something about the wooden basket. For 2017 Mori is introducing the option of a basket with white food-grade plastic slats. It's the best of both worlds. Easy to clean, and it would not look out of place in a generations-old Chianti estate. For customer-facing crush pads where the winemaking process is part of the experience, this is a wonderful compromise between form and function.

The "Temporizer" Automatic Press Timer:

One of the most exciting additions to Mori's 2017 basket press line-up is the addition of the "Temporizer" automatic timer as a standard feature on all forkliftable presses 5 HL and larger. The temporizer allows the winemaker to set three parameters:

1. Pressing time – Mori recommends 5 seconds as a starting point
2. Resting time – Mori recommends 5 minutes as a starting point
3. Max pressure – This is entirely up to the user

The user simply moves the pressing ram down to the level of the grapes and starts the "Temporizer" cycle. Using the above settings, the press will move down for 5 seconds, allow free-run juice to drain for 5 minutes, then continue pressing for 5 seconds, and so on until the max pressure is reached, and the press automatically stops. Simple.

2016's first stainless steel tanks have arrived. Get ready for this year's harvest with a large selection of variable capacity and fixed capacity tanks. You can see normally in stock small variable capcity tanks here in our online store. We also have a variety of larger conical bottom, sloped bottom, and fixed capacity tanks in stock as well. Call us for details – 707-963-9681.

A high quality sparging stone is hard to find. But you needn't look any further.

To effectively sparge you need millions of small, evenly-sized bubbles to maximize the sparging surface area. So the quality of the sintered metal is paramount. That's what forms the bubbles, after all. Our sparging stones are made from medical-grade sintered metal and manufactured here in our Santa Rosa shop.

We have two different tools for sparging that you can attach your stone to: the Sparging Tee and the Sparging Spear.

The spear is a six-foot long stainless steel tube, threaded at both ends. Attach the stone to one end and your gas hose at the other. You can put it into an open top tank for passive sparging. The Sparging Tee is a Tri Clamp Tee with a gas inlet. It allows you to mount the sparging stone in-line for active sparging.

While you are transferring your product you can sparge it at the same time. This can help you sparge more quickly.

Don't forget to stock your backup pump impellers, new hoses, press hydraulic oil, etc.

The outrage!  The inhumanity!  The cruelty of it all!

It has come to our attention that we were not included in a recent Wine & Vines magazine article that featured basket presses and suppliers.  TCW Equipment/The Compleat Winemaker has state of the art presses which we have been supplying to wineries for over 40 years.  We are the sole authorized distributor of Mori presses in the USA.  We carry lab size presses to large 18 hecta-liter programmable cycle basket presses as well as various sizes and styles of other basket presses.

As you are planning and budgeting for crush, come by our new show room in Santa Rosa or call Joe Flemate (707) 595-2019 for equipment and supplies.  Watch for our monthly deals as well.

So remember TCW, if you need a press large or small.  We are here to fill your press needs.

Start making that list for equipment!  The 2013 wine shows are starting with the biggest one being in Sacramento, January 30-31.   Come see our bottling line in action with all the custom options available but still very reasonably priced.
