Mixing Wine With An Agitator

Gentle mixing of wine or spirits can significantly improve the product consistency and enhance production by creating or accelerating blending, solid suspension, or heat and mass transfer mechanisms.Unlike the traditional blending methods such as pump over, VINFOIL® can provide thorough and gentle blending of wine or spirits for minimum energy input.

Pump over method leaves dead zones in the tank, which results in inadequate wine mixing and inconsistency in the quality of produced wine. Pump over can also be harsh on the wine, damaging the wine structure and negatively affecting the taste of the produced wine.Vinfoil® provides thorough yet gentle mixing of wine, resulting in a wine with better mouthfeel.

As a result, Wine & Spirit makers can benefit from:

  • Greater product quality (taste, appearance, and aroma compounds)
  • Maximum plant utilisation
  • Significantly lower operating cost
