Regarding its use in wine sector, the main features are represented by a specially designed saturation rock with very fine porosity in sintered stainless steel and static mixer to achieve a very velvety CO2 saturation that simulates a real fermentation process.

Flowrates from 2.000l/h to 60.000 l/h

The monoblock structures for the smallest systems and the modular configuration designed for the largest installations, can be proposed with different thermal cycles: Pasteurization Tunnel, Cooling Tunnel, Heating Tunnel.

The self-bearing structure, which contains the process basins and the distribution piping, is realized in stainless steel, single deck or multi deck for the largest surfaces with or without PLC.

• The ceilings can be easily removed for the maintenance operations.
• The inclined basins, together with the rectangular manhole covers and the removable double pre-filters installed to protect the pumps, facilitate the emptying and cleaning operations of the basins themselves and of the circulating pumps.
• Transport belt in high-resistant synthetic material.
• Registration valves, exchangers, circulating pumps and gear-motors are installed on the external side of the tunnel, to simplify the maintenance operations and the system management.
• An excellent energy efficiency is ensured through the use of special spray nozzles which require low hydraulic heads, and thanks to the thermal recovery combined to the low quantity of water contained in the inertial basins.
• PLC integrated with SCADA and TELESERVICE system to select endless production recipes, register the process data and promptly intervene on any anomalies.
• Automatic control of Pasteurization Unit and Cooling System/Water Management at request.

In order to preserve the soft drink characteristics, it is necessary to inactivate, through pasteurization, the existing microorganisms and enzymes.

TMCI Padovan Flash Pasteurization plants assure maximum security and minimum alterations of products according to HTST principle (high temperature short time) and they guarantee:

• High thermal exchange coefficient;
• Low dirtying rate;
• Easy and speedy cleaning and maintenance.
• Enlargement or transformation possibility. Plates: in stainless steel AISI 316 or titanium, available in various sizes and models, including the free-flow type.

Gaskets: in nitrile silicone rubber EPDM, Viton or other materials suitable to process conditions. Chassis: in stainless steel.

New tartaric stabilisation system operating at ambient temperature through the application of cation resins.

• Reduced stabilisation costs.
• No colour reduction/change.
• No colloid structural modification.
• Active also on Calcium, Magnesium and Iron salts (not only Potassium).
• Certainty of the treatment.
• For wines and musts.
• Blending possibility.
• Complete column drainage.
• Column engineered to obtain the perfect flow both during stabilisation and regeneration.
• Back current regeneration.
• User friendly control panel.
• Compact design.
• Models from 100 to 1500 l of resin.

The system is realized with models from 2 to 20 T / hour (higher potentialities on request). The cooling and evaporator section is a tool that allows you to quickly get an immediate response. Models from 4 to 20 T / h, are managed by a PLC integrated in the electrical panel to control the following phases: filling - stabilization - washing The system is built upon request with "PED" testing for the processing of sparkling wines.

The system provides for the continuous execution of the conductivity of the output product after automatic treatment and recycling if the values ​​are not reached. The plant is also equipped with cyclones for the continuous separation of the formed crystals.

Cooling occurs either with direct evaporation of gas or with glycol solution.

Reduction in temperature of liquids is obtained using an intermediate refrigerant, by operating a cycle including the following phases:

• Evaporation
• Compression
• Condensation
• Expansion

The most used refrigerants are Freon or ammonia.
The refrigeration unit’s capacity depends on a series of factors such as inlet and outlet temperature of liquid being cooled, temperature and output of cooling air or condensation water.

Evaporators with scraped surface (FRIGOUNIVERSAL)
The complete unit includes:

• One or more evaporators in stainless steel, in which, flowing continuously, the liquid to cool transfers heat directly to refrigerant;
• Compressor of hermetic, semihermetic or open type;
• Condenser, water or air cooled;
• Valves, safety and control instruments, electric switch-board.

The side of tubular elements in contact with the liquid is continuously scraped by rotating blades; the refrigerant evaporates on the other side. The liquid to be cooled flows continuously in the chamber delimited by tubular elements and two head ends, one supportingt the motorization for rotation of scraping blades.
Each module is thermically insulated with Polyurethane foam.
Due to surface scraping, high performance in heat transfer and uniform cooling of liquid even at high viscosity are obtained.

Evaporators of dry expansion type
Refrigerant is normally Freon.

Evaporators of flooded type
Refrigerant is normally Ammonia.

Cylindrical-conical tanks, fully insulated with cooling jackets.

The sterilization sample cocks, carbon stones, magnetic stirrers and loading cells are some of the components that are usually required for these tanks.

They can be used individually or combined to implement a complete multistage yeast propagation system.

Capacity from 3 to 100 Hl. PED tested.
