Heat pump vacuum concentrator for must concentration
Achieve delicate must concentration with minimal energy consumption, preserving your wine’s aromas and enhancing tannin content while operating under a low-temperature vacuum environment.
Concentrates and Preserves Grape Must Aromas
The C38 Heat Pump Vacuum Concentrator from Cadalpe offers an innovative solution for small wine producers looking to enhance product quality. Operating under a hard vacuum and utilizing a descending veil evaporator, this equipment concentrates grape must at low evaporation temperatures between 20° and 24°C, uniquely preserving aroma and enhancing tannin content in red wines. Its clean and clog-resistant design, exclusive to Cadalpe, ensures seamless operation with unprocessed must, preventing foam formation. The unit allows flexible heating temperatures for optimizing either process quality or yield. Fully automatic, it minimizes operator involvement to periodic washing, while its closed-loop cycle achieves up to 65° Brix concentration, ideal for sugar adjustments. Energy efficiency is achieved through its compressor motors, with minimal water use for occasional circuit cleaning. The C38’s robust structure aligns with strict industry standards, providing durability and reliability in processing and cleaning applications within the wine and broader beverage industry.
