Turn your traditional tank into an innovative Metodo Ganimede® winemaker
Turn the standard tanks of your winery into a Metodo Ganimede® winemaker, the innovative method, both for red and white winemaking, already well established in wineries across the globe!
Below you will find a summary of the process illustrated with an example of upgrade carried out at a leading winery on 1,000 HL capacity tanks.
- Existing tanks at the winery: 4 upgrades are performed to the 1,000 HL capacity tanks.
- Scaffolding assembly: internal and external scaffoldings are necessary in order to weld safely the diaphragm, bypass valves and any external cooling pockets.
- Segmented sections of the diaphragm, previously assembled: the segments are assembled at the workshop based on calculations performed on the technical drawing of the tank.
- Internal welding of the segments to create the funnel-shaped diaphragm: the "funnel" diaphragm is reassembled following an accurate welding process performed by qualified personnel.
- Welding of the cooling pocket on the plating: if necessary, the tank is thermal conditioned through the application of channels or mantle-shaped pockets, which are welded on the tank cylinder.
- Installation of the electrical control panel from which it is possible to manage automatically the temperature, opening of the bypasses and the injection of technical gases (macro-oxygenation, CO2 timer control for the pre-fermentative dynamic maceration).
- The process ends with a hydraulic test on the winemaker, in order to simulate all the stages that will take place at time of grape harvest.
At the end of the process, you will be able to enjoy the benefits of a Metodo Ganimede® winemaker, equivalent, in operation and performance, to a brand new machine!
Many companies have already chosen us and allowed us to implement MORE than 150 tank upgrades with capacities ranging from 50 to 1750 HL!
