Abstract

The pressurized gas delivery arrangement for production of red wine comprises one or more gas delivery pipes extending from the tank ceiling to a level below the layer of floating grape husks.

Description

TECHNICAL TERRITORY

The invention relates to a pressurized gas flooder for red wine production, in which the pomace cake is overwhelmed by introducing a gas through one or more pipes from above through the tank ceiling to the juice room or close to the tank bottom is done.

STATE OF THE ART

About the colors of a red wine To obtain from the grape berries, one makes use of thermal ones Process of red wine mash heating, also of red wine mash fermentation.

The red wine dyes are there with most red wine grapes almost exclusively in the berries. This Dyes are stored in dye cells by pretty stable cell walls are.

The goal of red wine making is if possible all To get red wine dyes out and the cell walls permeable to the dyes make: This can be caused by the action of heat as with red wine mash heating or by the action of alcohol and carbonic acid as in red wine mash fermentation.

In the thermal process the red wine mash brought to a certain temperature and one Service life before it is pressed.

When fermenting red wine mash, the juice ferment and the berry skins together until the desired one Red wine type emerged.

The problem with mash fermentation is that the color bearing grape skins swim to the top and there is a fairly firm marc cake form.

If you want to remove the dyes from the berries, it is necessary that the berry skins of Be immersed in the juice from time to time or that the juice over the Red wine mash is brought up.

Submerging the red wine mash can be done manually by tools, immersion floors or by rising and falling Diving paddles take place. The overflowing of the berry skins through the underlying juice can be by pumping or by means of compressed gas through openings happen on the bottom of the tank or on the side of the tank wall below of the pomace cake are attached.

The techniques used so far are either very expensive, or of hygiene or economy not optimal .

PRESENTATION THE INVENTION

The invention aims at the disadvantages previous red wine mash fermentation tanks switch off and make the construction of such tanks cheaper.

For this purpose, be on the tank ceiling or several threaded sockets attached with a blind nut or with a blind cone with a union nut lockable are.

Through the blind nut or the blind cone now inserted a short gas inlet pipe, which is on the top of the Blind nut, or, the blind cone a connection for the compressed gas and below has a connection to the gas inlet pipe that goes into the juice room enough.

Through the large drain opening on the bottom of the tank, through which the mash is removed after fermentation will, can now introduced gas inlet pipes, possibly also in sections be, so too Tanks in rooms, where there is little space between the tank and ceiling, with Gas inlet pipes equipped can be.

These gas inlet pipes are useful outside of the tank with a ring line connected to a common gas connection.

Now through the gas inlet pipes a gas (optionally air or carbonic acid) in larger quantities during one predetermined time in the juice room below the floated grape skins introduced, the juice, or the young wine is strong Flush, which leads to an intense overpouring and soaking of the Pomace cake leads.

This introduction of pressurized gas to the surge the red wine mash can be time-controlled both manually and automatically his. The gas outlet at the lower end of the compressed gas inlet pipes can be designed by drilling or rotating nozzles.

After the end of the red wine production the Gas inlet pipes are removed from the inside of the tank and the Threaded connector can be through Blind caps or fermentation tubes tight made. In this way, the fermentation tank quickly becomes a normal storage tank repurposed, with no lengthy dismantling of other surge lines or diving paddle is necessary.
