Horizontal fermentor

A new step was made in the development of equipment for the extraction of colour and flavour from red grapes with the production of a horizontal fermentor. An electric motor, placed on back side of fermentor, slowly spins the inner agitator, softly breaking through the cap. Operation of the fermentor is automatically controlled; it is possible to determinate time of activity and reposing of the agitator. The inner agitator is assembled from a system of special blades, which with their specially designed shape do not harm the grape skin, and they allow vacation of grape skins after the conclusion of the maceration process. A horizontal fermentor, equipped with cooling and warming systems, allows setting up in a room of normal height.
