Cryogenic pre-treatment system for grapes
Prevent premature fermentation and enhance extraction in wine production with a cryogenic system that cools grapes efficiently, maintaining hygienic integrity and optimizing pre-treatment processes.
Prevents Fermentation and Cools Grapes Efficiently
The Alcryo from Siprem International is a cryogenic continuous pre-treatment system designed for winemakers focused on maintaining grape integrity and optimizing extraction during wine production. This system uses a two-stage process, with an integrated conveyor and belt elevator, to efficiently cool grapes while preventing premature fermentation. Carbon dioxide, stored in liquid form, is injected to form dry ice, which absorbs thermal energy and reduces the temperature of the grapes by 20-25°C at production rates of up to 10 tonnes per hour. The Alcryo integrates seamlessly with destemmer-crusher systems, improving throughput while maintaining hygienic standards. Its insulated design minimizes heat ingress, ensuring energy-efficient operations. This system is particularly beneficial in applications ranging from grape juice to red and white wine production, offering winemakers reliability and precision in their pre-processing stage.
