Pump Over Tanks Type FK and K (Fixed and Variable Capacity)

Pump over Tanks Type FK and K (Fixed and Variable Capacity)
Tank sizes range from 500 gallon up to 5,000 gallon.

Fixed capacity and variable capacity pump-over fermenters are designed for re-circulating the juice evenly over the cap surface by a rotating sparger. Designed with a computer interface for programming and precise fermentation cycles. All fermenters are fitted with double cooling jackets for temperature control through a computer interface. Fermenters are equipped with software that tracks the entire fermentation process at all times. These fermenters can also be used as a classic wine storage tanks.

We offer different pump-over fermenter designs:

• open pump-over fermenters with a floating lid and a dismantling system for must pumping;
• closed pump-over fermenters;
• cone-shaped pump-over fermenters, whose shape brings back the tradition of ancient cooperage. The cone-shaped jacket slows down lees lifting, enables more efficient cap submerging and breaking while enhancing the extraction of phenols and aromas.

Custom options available upon request.

Two inch pump over tube is equipped on the tank for easy of use to achieve a pump over. An optional must pump and control panel can also be mounted on the frame of the tank to turn on automatically at any desired time and duration by the winemaker.

The inclined bottom enables an easy liquid discharge and a simple emptying of the fermenter. Reinforced upper rim (piped reinforcement) gives the tank strength and stability and prevents any deformations of the tank wall. On the variable capacity stlye the upper pumping pipe and the rotating sprayer are removed and a variable capacity lid is used.

On request, fermenters can be equipped with temperature regulating equipment and other special technical equipment (valves, adjustable legs, agitators, etc.), as specified by the customer.
