Francesca Wine Pumps
Arguably the best wine pump in the world: Francesca
The Wine Company is the North American agent for what is arguably the best wine pump in the world: Francesca Pompe Enologiche, made in Italy by famed engineer, Roberto Manzini.
The Francesca wine pump is completely gentle to wine while transferring from barrel to barrel, but powerful enough for pumping pressed grapes. This is due to the intelligence of the revolutionary but simple design of the rotary piston pump and variable speed drive. The pump is easy to use, easy to clean, and easy and inexpensive to maintain.
Francesca incorporates features not found in any one pump:
- Processes dregs, must and pressed grapes without causing damage to the grapes
- Constant linear flow of liquid
- Fully washable and sterilizable at 230° Farenheit (110°C)
- Full accessibility to all parts in contact with liquid
- Self-priming with high aspirating power
- Electronic capacity change (manual and automatic)
- Reverse flow from electric panel
- Optional wireless remote, liquid sensor and in-line filtration
- Compact and easy to transport
