Wine Dosing Systems

Through listening to our many wine customers Flavourtech has now expanded their list of products to the wine industry by being able to offer Dosing systems for accurate in-line blending of various processing aids, components and additives to wine. This can be done for either one or many component additions.

The design scope is up to the wineries individual requirement and will depend on how many products need to be added in-line to the wine. Pipe work, valves, instrumentation and control panels are all supplied and installed by Flavourtech. Systems are easy to use and qualified engineers ensure that operators are all trained in use of the system once it is installed.

Some of the benefits of the in-line Dosing System include:

• It increases the accuracy of dosing as it is computer controlled.
• It is a Continuous Process that can operate 24/7
• Minimal labour component required.
• It is an Automated Process operated by password protected control panel. This ensures that addition levels are not changed by unauthorised personnel.
• All additions and flows are monitored and recorded for tracking and traceability.
• There is No Stratification within the tank of dosed additives as they are added continuously as the wine is passed to the tank
• There is No Wastage of wine due to human error or wastage of additives as system accuracy is preserved by the operator panel.
• Alarm and safety measures programmed into the control panel prevent inaccurate dosing. In case of errors or low volume levels the system pauses, alarms and waits for operator commands.
• Easier CIP through automation of tank and line cleaning.
• Wine personnel can be used on other tasks.
• In-Line analytical instruments are available for direct feedback of some components

Products that can be automatically added to the wine include:

• Various base wines
• Ascorbic Acid
• Bentonite
• Citric Acid
• Copper Sulphate
• Clarified Retentate
• CO₂
• Grape juice concentrates
• Nitrogen
• Sulphur Dioxide
• ...and more
