Abstract

The invention relates to the wine-making and can be used for preparation of small bathes of alcohol-containing beverages at small farms, in domestic wine-making, and also for conducting of experimental works at research institutes and at wine-making plants. The apparatus for preparation of alcohol-containing beverages consists of cylindrical reservoir with cover, heat-exchange case and emptying fitting. The holed disk is installed in reservoir with ability of vertical moving, linked with the drive. For enhancement of device and diversification of the prepared wines of high quality, the drive of disk is made in the form of actuating screw, installed in central threaded opening of reservoir cover and joined with disk by means of connecting unit with ability of rotation towards the latter, and mixing blades are fixed on the disk. The connecting unit is made in the form of manifold with closed central hole, fixed in the center of the disk, in the closed hole the sectional ring of elastic material is fixed opposite to the axial moving. At the lower end of the screw the neck and dome-shaped footstep are made, the footstep bottom the closed hole of manifold of the disk. The neck of the screw is located inside the sectional ring, inner diameter of which is less than five in its most thickened part. The reservoir is equipped with the frame, on which it is installed with the possibility to rotate around horizontal axis and fixing.

Description

or unscrewing the screw respectively in the lowermost and uppermost positions of the disc. At the same time, this design of the connecting unit after the screw is articulated with the disk allows the latter to move vertically without rotation, or rotating together with the screw, which ensures, as was shown above, the acceleration of the heating of the fermented diffusion juice without burning and reducing the amount of suspensions in the wort, i.e. improving the quality of the finished product.

Due to the fact that the tank is supplied with a frame on which it is installed with the possibility of turning around the horizontal axis and fixing, it is possible to drain the fermented wort squeezed from the disc with minimal oxygen oxidation of the air from the tank, without the use of pumps, which significantly enrich the liquid with air, and also the possibility of unloading the tank from grape juice by overturning it, without using special unloading devices

In fig. 1 shows the proposed device in section; in Fig. 2 - node A in Fig. 1 (enlarged); in fig. C - view B in fig. 1.

The device for obtaining alcoholic beverages consists of a cylindrical tank 1 (Fig. 1) with a cover 2, a heat exchange jacket C and a drain pipe 4 with a shut-off valve 5 and installed in the tank 1 with the possibility of vertical movement of a perforated disc b articulated by means of a connecting node 7 with manual drive, made in the form of a screw 8 with a handle 9, installed in the central threaded hole of the cover 2 of the tank 1.

Stirring paddles 10 are attached to disk 6, which simultaneously serve as stiffening ribs to increase the strength of disk 6 and guides that prevent skewing of disk b relative to the cylindrical walls of tank 1. The propeller 8 is articulated with disk 6 with the possibility of rotation relative to the latter. For this, the connecting node 7 is made in the form of a hub 11 (Fig. 2) rigidly fixed in the center of the disk 6 with a blind central hole 12, in which a split ring 13 is installed from an elastic material, for example spring steel, and a neck 14 is made at the lower end of the screw 8 and a barrel-shaped heel 15, which rests against the bottom of the blind hole 12 of the disk hub. The neck 14 of the screw 8 is located inside the split ring 13, the inner diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the heel 15 in its most thickened part. The split ring 13 is fixed against the axial movement inside the hole 12 of the hub 11 with the help of an annular plate 16 fixed on the end of the hub 11.

The tank 1 is supplied with a frame 17 (Figs. 1 and 3), on which it is installed with the possibility of rotation around the horizontal axis and fixation. For this purpose, two horizontal semi-axes 18 are fixed coaxially to each other on the walls of the tank 1, placed inside the hinges 19, which are supplied with stoppers 20.

The device works like this.

With cover 2 removed (fig. 1-3), tank 1 is filled to approximately 80 percent of its volume with carbon dioxide, for example from a cylinder, loaded with whole bunches of grapes with ripe ridges, disk 6 is placed on the grapes, cover 2 is fixed on tank 1 and screwed into its central threaded hole is the lead screw 8, which with its heel 15 through the guide conical hole in the plate 16 interacts with the split ring 13 and increases its diameter. When the neck of the screw 8 is inside the ring 13, the load manually applied to the handle 9 of the screw 8 is sharply reduced, which indicates the completion of the assembly of the screw-disc pair.

After that, screwing in screw 8 is stopped. The effort applied by the disk to the grapes is negligible, so the grapes remain uncrushed. Under the action of grape enzymes and wild yeast in a carbon dioxide atmosphere, carbon dioxide maceration begins with the fermentation of must, an increase in carbon dioxide pressure (valve 5 is closed) and the accumulation of ethanol, which accelerates the maceration of grapes.

After a few days of carbon dioxide maceration (depending on the chosen technology), the grapes are crushed by lowering the disk 6, after which the disk 6 is raised and through the nozzle 4, a pure yeast culture is added to the reservoir 1. In the process of fermentation of the pulp, by rotating the screw 8, periodically dip the "cap" of the pulp into the wort, enriching it with aromatic, colored and other extractive substances of the solid part of the pulp. If necessary, chilled water is added to the shirt Z. At the end of the fermentation process, by rotating the screw 8, with the help of disk 6, the pulp is compressed to separate the fermented must from it, which collects above the disk 6. In the process of crushing the grapes, dipping the "cap" of the pulp into the must, and squeezing the must from the pulp, the disk 6 exerts considerable pressure on the product , which causes the appearance of a large frictional force between the product and the disk 6, as a result of which the disk 6 does not rotate. Thanks to this, crushing of the hard part of the grapes is excluded, which positively affects the quality of the finished product.

Then, having loosened the stoppers 20, they act on the screw 8 as a lever, turning the tank 1 in the hinges 19 and draining the fermented wort through the nozzle 4. Further, the wine material obtained from this wort after fermentation can be subjected to all kinds of treatments, including heat and cold in the same tank.

After draining the wort, the tank 1 is set vertically and water and sugar syrup are added through the nozzle 4 to obtain a low-alcohol sugar-containing drink after fermentation, or - after complete fermentation - an alcohol-containing liquid (mash).

In the latter case, after fermentation and settling of the solid part of the grapes to the bottom of the tank 1, hot water is supplied to the jacket C to heat the fermented mass. At the same time, a gas burner is placed under the tank 1 and the gas is ignited, and a refrigerator for condensing alcohol vapor is connected to the nozzle 4 with the valve 6 open (the burner and the refrigerator are not shown in the drawings). the disk 6 is lowered, which, meeting slight resistance from the liquid part of the product, under the action of the frictional forces between the heel 15, the ring 13 and the hub 11, rotates together with the screw 8, mixing the liquid with paddles in the entire volume of the tank 1 and increasing the heat exchange between the walls and the liquid .

After distilling off the alcohol, pour off the remains of the bard and turn the screw 8 to raise the disk 6 to the platinum stop! 16 in the lid 2 of the tank 1. With further rotation of the screw 8, the bracket unzips the ring 13, and the disk 6, separating from the screw 8, descends into the lower part of the tank 1, from where it is pulled out after removing the cover 2, the tank is overturned by turning in the hinges 19 and unload the solid part of the extracted grape pomace. Then tank 1, screw 8 and disk b are subjected to washing and disinfection,

preparing the device for the next cycle of preparation of alcoholic beverages.

The device makes it possible to obtain high-quality alcoholic beverages due to the fact that the processes of carbon dioxide maceration of grapes, their crushing, fermentation of wort on the mezza for the production of wines, preparation of low-alcohol beverages, fermentation and distillation of alcohol are carried out in a carbon dioxide atmosphere one after the other in the same tank without oxidation air oxygen . szhkshoto VEN and krslizhnnny, IL o
