Turbotank: for large fermenting masses
Patented automatic pumping over system for large fermentation tanks 600 hl to 1500 hl, composed of very simple equipment based on the principle of communicating vessels.
Turbotank is composed of a stainless steel turbine that is inserted vertically in the center of the fermentation tank.
• It is ideal for large fermentation tanks
• It can also be applied to existing tanks
• During the active phase the must present in the lower part of the tank, under the marc cap, is aspirated and sent over the latter, obtaining the flooding of the marc cap in a very short time. During this phase it is possible to cool the must, thanks to the jacket applied outside the tube of the turbine, in which circulates the coolant; it is also possible to oxygenate the musts during the pumping over by means of porous candles.
• During the fermentation phase it acts as a vent chimney, through which a large amount of heat and carbon dioxide is eliminated, thus avoiding harmful overpressures under the cap of marc, and ensuring safe use of the tank even for large masses, up to 1500 hl capacity.
• Its design allows to carry out pumping over of large quantities of must. The suction propellers, thanks to their small size and the low number of turns programmed, do not exert any friction on the turbine walls, avoiding the production of lees
• It is supplied complete with washing system of the inside of the tank, as well as of the inside and outside of the turbine
• It can be used to quickly mix a set of wines, to create a homogeneous mass of wines and to quickly dissolve the additive oenological products; moreover it can perform bâtonnage operations even on large masses of win
