Pulsair Cap Management and Tank Mixing
Winemakers around the world are moving to Pulsair’s gentle mixing systems produce better wines. Mixing tests have demonstrated that the low stress forces of bubble mixing provide better oxygenation and uniform distribution of yeast innoculants in the homogenization of wine during fermentation.
Pneumatage
- A revolutionary method of managing the cap formed during red wine fermentation. Pulsairís "Pneumatage" equipment is being used throughout the world in place of pumping over, punching down, irrigation and other conventional methods of cap management. Pulsair's offers hand-held, portable systems and fixed, programmable tank systems that accommodate any size winery.
- By sequentially introducing a large bubble of clean compressed air or nitrogen, Pulsair can effectively break the cap and circulate the fruit and skins throughout tank.
- The Pulsair bubble uses gravity and the weight of the liquid, to circulate the contents without shearing the product or macerating the fruit.
- Pulsair control options provide flexibility for wineries of any size.
- The PTM-2000W hand-held series can be used from the top of the tank, the racking port or drain port.
- This lightweight equipment can be moved from tank to tank with relative ease.
- Pulsair Programmable systems offer the most convenience and cost savings for the winemaker.
- By setting the "Pneumatage" parameters ahead of time, winemakers know that the cap will be managed on time, consistently, every time.
- PULSAIR's smaller mixers weigh less than ten pounds for mixing containers up to 2000 gallons and can be used at the top of the tank with a probe or mounted at the racking or drain port.
- Units include a power head, stainless steel check valve, filter and 25 feet of air hose.
"Just finished crushing our last grapes on Monday. The PULSAIR mixer works fantastic, how did we ever do without it? There is no doubt it saves time, labor, and clean-up and the guys enjoy using it. If you need a reference tell them to give me a call.”
