Compartmented tank for wine processing

Optimize your wine production with precise temperature control and efficient space utilization, ensuring perfect fermentation and maturation for both red and white wines.

Controls Fermentation, Storage, and Temperature Stabilization

The Compartmented Wine Fermentation and Storage Tank from The SERAP Group offers innovative solutions for wineries and beverage manufacturers. This stainless steel tank, available in AISI 304, AISI 316L, or combined metal standards, optimizes the fermentation and stabilization processes through precise temperature control. Its design includes a multi-compartment layout with top compartments featuring floating lids for effective wine storage, allowing for plot-by-plot relocations. The tank supports fermentation and storage of both red and white wines, with an optional agitator for enhanced mixing.

The tank can be tailored with options such as an isothermal wall for energy efficiency, using SERAP’s proprietary insulation technique involving polyurethane foam injection. This reduces condensation and minimizes energy consumption, crucial for maintaining ideal conditions during wine processing. The unit integrates smoothly into existing winery operations, featuring laser-welded surfaces for efficient heat exchange and temperature control.

Constructed with durability in mind, the tank supports high stress and service gangways through its sandwich structure, facilitating operational safety. Cleaning is streamlined with minimal water and chemical usage, while the optional isothermal feature further supports sustainability initiatives. Ideal for batch and continuous operations, the tank aligns with various production needs in the wine, food, and beverage industries.
