Our thermocontrolled stainless steel tanks they are designed for controlled fermentation of wine and beer , ensuring optimal thermal stability also for the storage of oil and milk or chemical liquids that require accurate temperature control
The peculiarity of these refrigerated tanks is that they have a refrigeration unit fixed in the lower part of the tank itself . This allows the direct gas expansion coil to be in close contact with the outside of the tank containing the liquid, thus allowing the latter to cool uniformly without the need to use plates or coils immersed in the liquid. Everything is then insulated with insulating polyurethane and further covered on the outside by a casing also in stainless steel.
These tanks can be open-air (MARS series) or with an airtight upper hatch (GIOVE series), and have a second outlet for the total discharge of lees in the case of controlled fermentations or tartrate precipitations.
All tanks are equipped with digital thermostat/thermometer which allows you to set and maintain the desired temperature during the cooling cycle which can drop, in the case of SUPER motors, up to -8° (use with grappa and distillates) or up to -3° in standard motors.
On request these tanks can be supplied equipped with the 'HEATING' option which allows them to be heated as well as cooled, therefore they can be used for malolactic fermentation and as beer fermenters. In models equipped with electrical resistors (heating) it is possible to heat the contents of the tank up to temperatures of 30°.
If it is necessary to maintain a uniform temperature of the liquid, the use of stirrers is recommended to avoid stratification.
