Albrigi Gravitank (Gravity Discharge Tanks)

GRAVITANK - Gravity Discharge Tanks

The Gravitank has a floor design for the extraction of the marc using gravity. This design makes the skins extraction process clean and simple without the requirement for manual labour and mechanization. The long legs allow the discharge of the skins into a bin or even directly into a press via a chute.
