Pump-Over Fermenter with Pomace Ejection

Pump-Over Fermenter with Pomace Ejection

The Pump-over Fermenter with Pomace Ejection is a complete solution for winemakers looking to combine traditional extraction techniques with modern automation. By integrating the HELI irrigation system with mechanical discharge, this tank ensures consistent quality across every batch.

  • HELI Rotating Sprinkler: Engineered for uniform irrigation, the sprinkler ensures the pomace cap is gently and evenly soaked. This promotes optimal color extraction and prevents “hot spots” or dry areas in the tank.

  • Integrated Solid/Liquid Separation: A built-in high-surface-area sieve keeps the solids and liquids separate during the pump-over, ensuring your pumps run smoothly and your juice remains clear.

  • Mechanical Ejection System: Once fermentation is complete, a high-torque gear motor powers internal blades at the base of the tank. These blades move the pomace toward the outlet, automating the discharge process.

  • Programmable Automation: The entire system can be customized with various automation levels

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a closed tank?

A closed tank, also referred to as a sealed tank or closed top tank, is any fixed capacity storage vessel. The top of this type of tanks is sealed by welding it to the body, hence the name sealed tank.

The closed tank is a completely sanitary vessel made out of AISI 304 stainless steel. It is suitable as a storage tank for a wide variety of liquids and foodstuffs. Wine, beer, liquor, dairy, confectionery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals – even corrosive chemicals can be stored in the closed tank with an upgrade to AISI 316L stainless steel. 

The closed tank was initially designed for the wine industry and intended as a storage and fermentation vessel. Since then, it received many design upgrades. Now, the closed tank is suitable for storage, fermentation and mixing of any sanitary liquid or powder.
