The Importance of Sanitization in Winery Equipment: The Innovative Approach of Puleo S.p.A.
At Puleo, we understand how crucial it is for winemakers to have winery oenological machinery that effectively meets the specific needs of each stage of processing. Our mission is to provide winemaking equipment that ensures superior efficiency and quality, and today we focus on the importance of an often underestimated but vital aspect: post-press sanitization and washing.
The Critical Role of Cleaning in Oenological Equipment.
Thorough washing of equipment not only prolongs the life of the machinery, but is critical to ensuring that each vintage takes place under optimal hygienic conditions. This prevents contamination and preserves the integrity and quality of the wine. That's why we have optimized the automatic washing system of our PREXA C press, ensuring impeccable cleanliness.
Puleo's PLUS Automatic Washing Program.
Here are the main steps of our innovative washing program:
1. Prewash: This initial phase allows the tanks to be purged, releasing pressure through the appropriate slots. At the same time, the tank receives an initial rinse, removing coarse residues.
2. Filling the press with water: After preflushing, the press fills with water to ensure deep flushing.
3. Washing rotation: The press makes specific rotations, filled with water, to evenly clean the inside of the tank.
4. Automatic water drainage: After the rotation, the wash water is automatically drained, carrying away all residue.
5. Washing of the channels: In this stage, the channels undergo a washing cycle that combines water and pressurized air, ensuring thorough cleaning and removal of any deposits.
6. Lavaggio esterno del tank: infine, grazie a barre di ugelli esterni posizionati sul tank, viene eseguito un lavaggio accurato delle superfici esterne, assicurando che anche l'esterno del macchinario rimanga impeccabile.
