NEW TECHNOLOGY AWARD • Gruppo Bertolaso, Inspecta A quality-control system for the final stage of a bot- tling line, the Inspecta system features optical sensors on a rotating carousel. Any foreign material in bottles is identified with special cameras, and other sensors ensure the correct application of the cork, verify prod- uct color and identify faults in the glass. The machine fits in perfectly at the end of traditional Bertolaso equipment, guaranteeing the client conformity and suitability for every bottle. GAI, MLE GAI's new electro-pneumatic linear monoblock fea- tures electro-pneumatic rinsers, electro-pneumatic fillers and up to three types of single-turret corking machines. The machine is fitted with a new UNICA filling valve patented by GAI. The linear rinse-fill-cork single unit is suitable for bottling both still and spar- kling products. Ghidi Metalli, Onda The Onda is a multifunctional winemaking tank for fermentation and long-term aging. The tank is made of stainless steel and fitted with an automatic pumpover system that uses technical gas injectors (nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, air or gas mixes) positioned at specific points rather than pumps. It enables a winemaker to carry out different wine- making phases in an environment that is isolated from the outside and redox gas-regulated. With suitable accesso- ries, the tank is ideal for vinification without the addition of sulfites.
