Hygienic Pumping Solutions
Sanitary pumping, a fundamental aspect of winemaking, involves carefully transferring wine fluids and solids from one vessel to another. Challenges arise in selecting the right pump for the job, ensuring a gentle touch to preserve delicate flavors, and maintaining a steady flow without compromising the wine's integrity. The art of pumping demands a balance between efficiency and preserving the wine's nuanced complexities. Pump selection, use, and maintenance can directly impact the quality and taste of the wine. Pumping technologies include Progressive Cavity, Peristaltic (hose), Diaphragm (AODD), Lobe, Eccentric disc, and Centrifugal pumps. Each pump method has applicable features and benefits to meet the varying process needs of wine production.

Achieving homogeneity during various stages of winemaking, such as blending different grape varieties, managing fermentation, or optimizing the aging process, requires careful consideration of the mixing equipment and processes. The key considerations for ensuring sanitary mixing in wine production include selecting equipment with corrosion-resistant materials, compatibility for gentle blending without excessive aeration, smooth surfaces for cleaning to eliminate the risk of microbial attachment, and monitoring to ensure consistency, duration, and repeatability. Automation solutions provide precise control to minimize human error or product variations.

Portable Pump-Carts
Pump carts facilitate the transfer of must to fermentation tanks. Air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) cart-mounted pumps stand out for their operational reliability and efficiency, meeting the necessary flow and head requirements while managing solids without causing damage to the product. AODD pumps offer versatility in handling various stages of the winemaking process, including pump-overs, tank transfer, must and lees pumping, filter press feed, and topping… to name a few, which makes them a valuable asset in ensuring the quality and consistency of the final wine product.

Heat Exchangers
Frame & Plate
Heat exchangers in your production process are critical in efficiently regulating temperatures, preserving flavors, and enhancing quality. They are the best choice for high thermal efficiency requirements and limited space. Frame and plate exchangers offer 90% higher efficiency than kettle, tubular, spiral, or shell and tube heat exchangers.
Wastewater Treatment
Engineered & Manufactured Systems
Wastewater treatment in the wine industry is crucial for minimizing environmental impact and ensuring compliance with regulations. The winemaking process generates various types of wastewater containing organic and inorganic compounds, solids, and other substances that can be harmful to the environment if not properly treated. Burt Process engineers and manufacturers fluid handling systems to specification.
