winery & Vineyard equipment January 2015 Wines&Vines 87 signed particularly for tank empty- ing, offering transfer rates of up to 500hl per hour. What sets this device apart is that pumping is controlled automatically, which opti- mizes the transfer time while mini- mizing oxygen dissolution and avoiding stirring up the wine (espe- cially at the beginning and end of the process). The assembly also can be used to control certain operations per- formed during transfer, such as car- bonation, decarbonation and sulfur additions. The operator enters the desired functions and settings via the touch screen. The multifunction smart pump then carries out the operations autonomously. vinstar smart screwcap closure, Herti JSC The originality of this product lies in the integral injection-molded poly- mer granulate liner. The overall technical advantage of this closure system is its pressure resistance compared to other screwcaps with a separate liner. The advantage for users is that the same liner is used for both still and spar- kling wines. On the technical side, the liner profile can be adapted to the bottle rim. Molded polymer liners are less costly than multilayer polymer film liners added later. Screwcaps with integral die-cast liners offer equivalent levels of secu- rity and convenience to those with separate liners. The application of the polymer granulate is die-cast at high temperature and high pressure inside an aluminum cap. Barilav rotating barrel washer, Lamouroux Barilav is an automated barrel- washing system consisting of sev- eral workstations (corresponding to the various stages of the washing process) using water, pressure and conveying. Being a closed-loop, rotary sys- tem, it enables one person to work alone under optimum conditions for handling, safety and work time. The machine is constructed from robust stainless steel with a compact de- sign and offers great flexibility of use (adjustable injection time/pressure). Of particular note is Barilav's small footprint due to the worksta- tions being positioned around a central axis. The system uses pres- surized hot water and steam for the cleaning, descaling and disinfecting steps of barrel washing. easy safe wash hydraulic opening system for safe grape harvester washing, Pellenc Easy Safe Wash is an automated, secure, remote-controlled hydraulic opening system that makes certain parts of the grape-harvesting ma- chine accessible for washing with water. The system provides better, safe access to certain surfaces for wash- ing. The suction fans, destemmers/ separators and sorting tables are made much more accessible for cleaning by this system, which has a hydraulic disengagement mecha- nism to release the parts to be cleaned.
