26 WINES&VINES December 2015 Continuous pressing system Winner of a gold medal Innova- tion Award at the 2015 SITEVI exposition in Montpellier, France, the QC620 continuous-pressing system by Diemme Enologia in- cludes a vibrating sorting device, high-pressure peristaltic pump and horizontal hydraulic press. According to the manufacturer, the machine offers the advantag- es of a continuous-feed press without the drawback of the grapes getting macerated by moving mechanical parts. Press pressure is maintained by the combined action of the peristal- tic-feed pump and hydraulic sys- tem, and flow rate and pressure parameters can be managed by adjusting the pump, hydraulic piston or discharge door. Flow rates can range from 15-45 tons per hour. diemme-enologia.com 'Burst-clean' nozzle for tank cleaning The new Alfa Laval BurstClean+ tank-cleaning process uses the "burst-cleaning" concept to soft- en stubborn residues and a rotary jet head to remove those resi- dues. Alfa Laval claims the pat- ent-pending nozzle maxi- mizes chemi- cal usage while reducing the amount of cleaning time and water needed by eliminating the need to pre-rinse a tank. The device features a rotary jet head with a secondary spray fan nozzle outlet. Flow diverted through the outlet provides full coverage of the tank wall without requiring the jet head to attain a full cleaning pattern. gamajet.com Depth filter cartridges Eaton launched a new line of depth-filter cartridges for the North American wine industry. The Beco Protect CS CellStream product line is designed to help wine producers save both time and money while delivering gentle and effective filtration. Beco Protect CS CellStream depth-filter cartridges feature Becopad depth-filter sheet material that reduces fine colloids and microorganisms while retain- ing wine color, taste and aromas. The filter cartridges come with adapters to fit all commercially available filter cartridge housings. eaton.com Added features for tasting room reservation system VinoVisit.com launched an updat- ed version of its tasting room res- ervation-management system that allows tour guides, hotel con- cierges and other hospitality staff to book, adjust and distribute wine-tasting itineraries. VinoVisit also features virtual tours of tast- ing rooms and original editorial content about wineries and wine regions on its blog as well as other new features. vinovisit.com Green Line labels and capsules The Green Line of labels and cap- sules by Rivercap is designed to "preserve resources and respect the terroirs," according to the supplier. The polylaminate cap- sules are made with "bio-based" polyethylene and can be custom- ized with hot stamping, inside coloring and painted or blind em- bossing. The labels are produced with natural fiber papers and provide high print quality on a white base. rivercap.com Bacteria for wine stability The Viniflora NoVA Lactobacillus Ultraviolet sanitation system BlueMorph UV and Tom Beard Co. partnered to produce a new ultraviolet light sanitation system for winery tanks. The system employs large ultraviolet lights to reduce sanitation cycle times, eliminate the use of sanitizing chemicals and reduce winery water consumption. BlueMorph founder Alex Farren developed the concept, and Tom Beard helped engineer a piece of equipment designed to be easy to use yet durable for regular winery work. After conducting trials at various wineries for the past six months, the BlueMorph team claims its machine can provide better sanitation than using chemicals. bluemoprhuv.com Product News Latest offerings and announcements Send your product news to edit@winesandvines.com Celebrating Over 35 Years of Serving the Wine Industry Premium French, American & Eastern European Oak Barrels French Oak Alternatives Tel: (707) 257-3582 sales@bouchardcooperages.com www.bouchardcooperages.com PG 8061 Fresh Water Dishwasher Perfect for your tasting room: • 185° F fnal rinse for sanitization • Accommodates commercial baskets • Quietly cleans glasses in 15 minutes without etching
