Fermentors from 1000 to 22,000 Liters
PUNCH-DOWN FERMENTER
A punch-down-over Fermenter is designed to control the maceration process for red wines. They are made of high-quality stainless steel Type 1.4301 BA (AISI 304 – V2A) and the Fermenter cover is in Type 1.4404 2B (AISI 316 – V4A). The supplementary equipment is also made of high-quality stainless steel. A 10%-bottom inclination enables quick and simple emptying/discharging. During the fermentation process the cap that is formed on the top of the fermenting wine is automatically punched down with an auto rotating plunger to insure uniform and complete emersion of the cap. The winemaker can set the both the duration and the frequency of the pump down operation thus saving labor costs. The Fermenter is optionally equipped with various accessories, e.g. double-heating bottom for insuring malolactic fermentation during cold months, an additional oval door for racking, temperature control equipment, pump for the pump-over with controller for setting-up the spraying cycle, etc.…
PUMP-OVER FERMENTER
A pump-over Fermenter is designed to control the maceration process (for both red and white wines). They are made of high-quality stainless steel Type1.4301 BA (AISI 304 – V2A) and the Fermenter cover is in Type 1.4404 2B (AISI 316 – V4A). The supplementary equipment is also made of high-quality stainless steel. A 10%-bottom inclination enables quick and simple emptying/discharging. It is additionally provided with a flow outlet (including a disassembly sieve at the rear side), with a pumping-over tube and a rotation sprayer. During the fermentation process the fermenting wine is pumped over through an additional flow outlet and through a flow tube. At the end of the tube the wine is sprayed through the rotation sprayer, in this way soaking the cap, consisting of the solid particles of pips and grape skins. The Fermenter is optionally equipped with various accessories, e.g. double-heating bottom for insuring malolactic fermentation during cold months, an additional oval door for racking, temperature control equipment, pump for the pump-over with controller for setting-up the spraying cycle, etc.…
Pump-Over in Operation
Both the PUNCH-DOWN and PUMP-OVER fermentors can also be used for wine-storage.
Beside the variable capacity and closed top storage tanks that can be used to ferment both red and white wines Mio Vigneto Products offers three fermentation tanks specific for white and red wines.
These fermentors bring several advantages over standard wine making procedures.
1) Labor savings; since no one is needed for cap maintenance
2) Workman’s Comp Insurance savings; no need to be on a ladder or catwalk for pump-over operations or punch down the cap
3) Better extraction; since the Fermenter is automatic you can set punch-down or pump-over operations on a 24 hour a day cycle.
4) Sanitation; the fermenting must is not subject to the external environment.
Red Wine Fermentors:
Our UT and IEUT series fermentors are setup and optimized for red wine fermentations. Both tanks can be fitted for automatic punch-down operation, pump-over operation or both systems.
The UT series is based on a closed top tank and can be also used as a fixed volume storage tank.
The IEUT series is based on our variable capacity tank. Once the fermentation process is over the top can be removed and the variable capacity lid can be used to for storage.
All of the above fermentors can be supplied with dedicated pumps, micro-oxidation systems, tube in tube heat exchangers to allow efficient cooling of the wine as it is being pumped over, removable auto rotating cap sprayer, and any other option to enhance your program.
