Thermovinification – flash détente allows the production of ready-to-drink wines with bright, deep violet red colors, a fragrant aroma, and a smooth velvety taste. Padovan’s Red Hunter is a continuous-feed dual tank thermovinification/flash détente unit for optimal color intensity and stability in red and rosé wine production.
- Maximizes color intensity with instantaneous extraction of anthocyanins.
- Higher natural color stability than traditional flash détente systems thanks to available extended reaction times optimizing tannin extraction, preferentially extracting skin tannins over seed tannins.
- Customizable temperature, time, and vacuum parameters for maximum winemaking flexibility.
- Immediate inactivation of oxidative enzymes including laccases and polyphenol oxidases.
- Dual tank system of feeding/homogenization and reaction tanks.
- Fast heating (less than 30 seconds to reach 85°C).
- Instantaneous cooling thanks to extreme vacuum flash cooler.
- On-board buffer tank and integrated heat exchange system allow energy recovery of up to 33% and consistent throughput regardless of which operating settings are chosen.
- Fully automatic and integrated sanitizing CIP with high water/detergent savings.
- 12” color operator panel for fully automatic management of all work phases.
