Desulphurizer for grape juice

Eliminate sulfur dioxide vapor release while preserving juice concentration, achieving purity levels below 10 ppm—ideal for creating natural, sulfur-free grape juices and wines with minimal steam consumption.

Neutralizes and Re-injects SO2 Vapors

The Desulphurizer for grape juice from Padovan is designed to address the critical needs of wine producers and juice manufacturers in managing sulfur dioxide emissions. It utilizes a unique neutralization process with lime or caustic that prevents SO2 release into the atmosphere. This equipment reinjects neutralized vapors back into the product, maintaining juice quality and concentration. Tailored for applications in grape juice concentrate, organic natural juices, and low-sulfur wine, it offers high automation with automatic flow rate regulation, ensuring continuous and efficient operation.

With its mechanical compressor version, the desulphurizer achieves very low steam consumption, enhancing energy efficiency. The equipment can achieve sulfate levels as low as 10 ppm, making it ideal for producing natural juices. Constructed from materials offering excellent corrosion resistance, the device integrates seamlessly into existing processing lines, ensuring minimal downtime and easy maintenance. Its advanced automation capabilities simplify operations, making it a reliable option for large-scale beverage processing facilities.
