The machine uses ro- botic staging and loading to elim- inate the traditional "cross-push section" to save floor space. The unit erects, loads, seals and discharges cases. douglas-machine.com New titration analyzer by Metrohm The 855 Titra- tion Analyzer System by Metrohm em- ploys potentiometric titration analysis controlled by the compa- ny's Tiamo titration software or a color, touch-screen interface. The unit also features an integrat- ed auto-sampler and occupies less than 2 linear feet of bench space. The 855 is also available with multi-row configurations to provide for higher sample counts or lower analysis volumes. metrohmusa.com CoolTerra soil amendment Cool Planet, a self-described "green technology company," released its new CoolTerra prod- uct, which it claims improves soil water retention, aeration and "immobilizes" toxins such as salt, lead, aluminum and cadmium by "locking them away from the pro- ductive soil." Cool Planet reports the product enables growers to increase yields up to 60% while using less water and fewer inputs. The material is available in bulk in cubic yard totes. coolterra.com Irrigator for square tanks Vintuitive Winemaking Tools, for- merly Vinovation LLC, announced a new attachment for its LOTUS pumpover irrigator designed for square fermenta- tion tanks. The new equipment works with the LOTUS to evenly distribute juice and fermenting wine over the cap in a square tank without overshooting the edges or missing corners. vintuitivewmt.com Small case packer by Emmeti Emmeti developed its new case packer, "The Eagle," with feedback from smaller wineries, distilleries and breweries. The unit can automatically adjust for different bottle sizes, can load one to 10 cases at a time and insert partitions after bottle placement. The system is designed to eliminate any contact between bottles and guides to prevent label damage. The unit will halt if it detects a fallen bottle or if a case is missing or not properly positioned. emmetiusa.com Heat exchangers by Alfa Laval According to Alfa Laval, the com- pany's FrontLine gasketed plate heat exchangers offer a sanitary and efficient system for heating and cooling. The units' unique distribution area ensures uniform flow over the entire plate surface, and a "herring- bone" plate pattern pro- vides "opti- mized" pressing depths. The exchanger can operate at high pressures and is easy to disassemble for cleaning or service. alfalaval.com Eaton's BECOPAD ® depth filter sheets provide excellent filtration while maximizing throughput. It's the choice for winemakers who demand high capacity, minimal drip loss and virtually no color adsorption. Visit www.eaton.com/wine or contact Marge DeAngelis 732-212-4703.
