Continuous tartaric stabilisation for wine
Ensure your wines are free from unwanted crystals with a continuous solution that stabilizes tartaric acids while integrating seamlessly into your production line, enhancing both efficiency and product quality.
The K-Stop from TMCI Padovan is a continuous tartaric stabilization system designed for wineries and beverage manufacturers. This equipment is engineered to enhance the quality of still and sparkling wines by ensuring crystal-free clarity through continuous conductivity monitoring and crystal separation using integrated cyclones. With models accommodating throughput from 2 to 20 tons per hour, the K-Stop adapts to varying production scales, offering specialized options for processing sparkling wines with PED testing.
The system employs a PLC for precise control over stabilization, filling, washing, and conductivity monitoring, while the cooling process uses either direct evaporation or a glycol solution, enhancing energy efficiency. Constructed from durable materials, the K-Stop can be configured to meet specific corrosion resistance requirements, making it a reliable choice for long-term operation. Maintenance is simplified with easy-to-clean components, supporting efficient production line integration and uptime. Whether you require customization or engineering support, TMCI Padovan provides solutions tailored to your processing needs.
