AEB Reactivator - Yeast Re-hydration & Dosing Unit



A portable, automated system to consistently rehydrate & pitch your yeast correctly

  • a system that guarantees yeast dominance of se¬lected strains even with a small inoculum
  • using the touch screen the operator simply inputs the amount of yeast to be re-hydrated
  • automatically the exact amount of water in drawn in and is brought to the correct temperature
  • When temperature is correct, it maintains the temperature and indicates "ready for re-hydration"
  • In addition, a pump will make the inoculum circulate by taking from the bottom and spraying it back over the top. In this way, foam will be kept to a minimum
  • re-hydration takes about 25 minutes and is followed by an automated acclimation regulated by a program pre-set by the winemaker
  • cold must is introduced at intervals assuring a gradual drop in temperature for the inoculum and does not create heat shocks for the yeast
  • The total time, from yeast addition to discharging into the fermenter is about 90-110 minutes
  • state of the art micro-electronic touch-screen to help manage the various pro¬grams for re-hydration
  • The touch-screen activated buttons are labeled, are user-intuitive and easily recognizable
  • Most parameters can be changed directly on the touch screen
  • can be operated in both manual and automatic modes
  • during automatic mode, the touch screen controls allow the operator to temporarily interrupt the program to enter into manual mode and then go back to where the program was paused in automatic mode and resume the program
  • Sizes range from 3 - 100 KG of yeast capacities with varying options
