Wine Fermentation Tanks – The fermentation process that virtually all wineries and vineyards go through can potentially set world-class wines apart from the local brands. It is a process of turning the grape juice derived from the vineyards orchards into alcohol. During the fermentation, process yeast assists in transforming sugars present in the base grape juice to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Speed of the process, temperatures as well as oxygen levels all become mission critical in the creation of all wines and especially the world-class wineries with generations of experience.
In recent surveys, it is obvious that with all of the storage materials available to a winery their preferred choice for functionality, production, consistency, and maintenance is the use of stainless steel for all wine storage tanks, fermentation tanks, and bottling resources.
Here are just a few of the primary reasons to select stainless steel fermenter tanks
Stainless steel is one of the most durable products on the market far exceeding oak barrels, poly, or any other material that could possibly be used. 304 and 316 stainless steel creates long-term savings for each of the vineyards for reduced maintenance and replacement.
More than 50% of the stainless steel tanks being manufactured are fabricated using recycled steel making the entire process very environmentally conscious
Our stainless steel fabrication division is able to create fermentation tanks in any size from 100 gallons to as large as 650,000 gallons. We are also experts in understanding exactly what our winery clients need and able to customize to specifications. We are also able to deliver floatable lid fermentation tanks that can include a crane arm or a rail system (1,250 gallon and 2,500 gallons), jacketed stainless steel tanks as well as cone bottom as well as tanks with agitated silos.
We currently work with 100’s of professionals in the Fire Protection, Landscaping, Water Management, Commercial Facilities, and Risk Management industries to provide line drawings and specifications for their client’s projects. Our tanks are also approved and included in building plans for cities, counties, school districts, and municipalities. Let us know the information you need for the project plans you are working on.
