The use of misting systems in winemaking and cognac production
Winemaking is a long and painstaking process. The real taste of a good wine is revealed during the ripening period and only in special microclimate conditions.
Every winemaker and producer of cognac is faced with such a problem as the natural evaporation of the wine material and brandy alcohol from oak barrels, which eventually leads to a significant loss of the final product and loss of profit. Due to the drying of barrels in the process of storing and aging cognac and wine, the quality of these noble alcoholic beverages is lost.
In the room where the wine is stored, the temperature parameters of 10-15 degrees and the relative humidity level in the range of 70-85% should be constantly maintained. Wines and cognacs should be stored in a room protected from drafts and sunlight penetration.
Humidity is the main climatic factor, the low parameters of which lead to various problems in winemaking and cognac production:
- Barrels in which wine is stored begin to dry out, increasing the likelihood of natural evaporation of wine;
- Evaporation leads to the need for constant refilling, increasing the ripening period, reducing the quality of the drink;
- The risk of oxidation and spoilage of taste increases due to lowering the dry cork, lower into the barrel or bottle;
- Forced replacement of barrels causes additional expenses.
To avoid the risks of financial losses and increase the productivity of the wine storage, a system of high-pressure fog formation will help.
Tasks solved with the help of the fog system in the cellars:
- fixing the required humidity level in the cellars;
- reduction of the percentage of evaporation of excess wine;
- reduction of the process of natural evaporation of beverages;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;letter-spacing:.1pt;background:white">
- no need for regular drinking of wine;
- improvement of the quality indicators of cognac wines;
- saving money on maintaining the microclimate in the cellars;
- longer service life of barrels;
- productivity growth of the enterprise as a whole.
Misting systems are used to improve the quality and quantity of wine aged in wooden barrels, maintaining the necessary temperature and humidity. The water is sprayed by the system through nozzles that produce droplets with a diameter of no more than 5-10 microns, which are instantly absorbed in the air without wetting objects and surfaces.
As a result, barrels are used longer, the quality of the wood is preserved, production becomes more efficient, natural evaporation of wine is prevented.
The achieved savings will allow you to buy the cost of installing the system within a few months
Advantages of high pressure misting systems:
· Automatic maintenance of optimal microclimate parameters
· The compact humidification system is fully ready for installation
· No noise and additional vibration
· High build quality
· Simplicity and reliability of installation and operation.
The complete set of the high-pressure misting system includes:
· High pressure pump;
· High-pressure hose systems;
· Fine-dispersed nozzles;
· Fittings;
· Filters for water on the supply water supply;
· Block control of the fog generation system;
· High pressure ball valves;
· Drainage valve;
· Fasteners , etc. accessories according to the project.
Mist humidification systems cope with the stabilization of the optimal humidity level in the premises and cellars of wineries. This significantly reduces the loss from natural evaporation and improves the quality of wine and cognac.
