Let’s face it, sanitation and cellar chemicals may not be the most “glamorous” components of the winemaking process, but, when it comes to producing wine, they are among the most essential.
For your sanitation, filtration, oenological addition needs and more. Rest assured, ATP and its staff of industry veterans is the company you can count on.
Our cellar products are the industry standard, being used in most of America’s top wine cellars. We’ve partnered directly with world-class companies around the world to bring the wine industry the finest and most reliable products on the market.
Ascorbic Acid, is a powerful anti-oxidant. It can be added to a wine at bottling to help protect color from oxidizing and reduce the chances of browning and spoilage. Ascorbic Acid prevents oxidation by consuming any free oxygen that may still be present in a wine at bottling time. Its effects are stronger and longer lasting when used in combination with Potassium Metabisulfite. Results will mean a fresher wine with higher-intensity fruit characteristics.
BECOPad is a new mineral free (no D.E. or perlite) depth filtration media containing only purified cellulose fiber. BECOPADs are characterized by their unparalleled purity when compared with conventional filter sheets. With very low extractable ions, the pads will not impart any undesirable taste in your product.
The individual cartridge cells are made up using BECO depth filter sheets and the outer edge of two of these depth filters, whose outlet side is in contact with a drainage plate, is coated with polypropylene and sealed. Depending on the cartridge type, a different number of stacked filter cells forms a cartridge unit, which is safely held together by the three-part segmented sleeve made from stainless steel. Sealing between the filter cells is via accurately fitting intermediate profile rings. When installed, the segmented sleeve made from stainless steel ensures excellent mechanical sealing of the module. The occurrence of bypass effects is therefore eliminated.

Bentonite is a great general-purpose fining agent that is easy to prepare and does not adversely affect wine flavor. It is especially effective in correcting protein instability and preventing cloudiness. It does not remove tannins, so nothing else has to be used in conjunction with it. KWK needs hot water to rehydrate and should be stirred thoroughly until dissolved.
Bentonite KWK Krystal Klear, also known as Volclay KWK Krystal Klear, is a fine granular sodium bentonite with an average dry particle size ranging between 20 and 70 mesh and has superior adsorption and clarifying characteristics for use in the clarification of wine, juice or cider.
Bio-Cool Inhibited Propanediol is a high-performing, food-safe alternative to conventional glycols for low-temperature heat-transfer applications in the wine, beer and food industries. Bio-Cool has earned USDA BioPreferred® designation and is the next generation of renewable heat transfer fluid solutions. Made from renewably sourced materials, Bio-Cool Inhibited Propanediol has the performance benefits of improved viscosity at lower temperatures and improved freezing-point depression versus propylene glycol. This results in lower energy cost and wear and tear on equipment.
Activated carbon can be used in wine and juice, at any stage during the winemaking process, to remove off odors and off flavors as well as problems with color such as excessive browning or pinkness. ATP has a variety of both decolorizing and deodorizing carbons to fit any juice or wine needs. Bench trials are recommended.
