I'm thinking of upgrading the old basket press with a bladder press. I have one concern with them I was hoping you guys could answer for me. Do these work when they are not full? Let's say you only crush enough grapes to fill it half way. Wouldn't the bladder deform and overinflate in the area of the press not filled with grapes? If it does, is it a problem? Thanks for any input Thad

Hi Thad,
I've only used horizontal basket presses, where partial loads are no problem, but would think that if you partially inflate the bladder before you load the press that you could solve the distribution problem.
I know there's others here that use vertical basket presses. Perhaps they have some experienced input.
