All-New Pulsair Systems TM-1501W Wine Kit.

 

Pulsair officially unveils a new, inexpensive, portable air mixing system, the TM-1501W Wine Kit, for winemakers who ferment smaller grape lots in barrels, macrobins and 1-3 ton fermentation tanks to improve the vinification process.

 

Featuring Pulsair's 35-year proven and tested air mixing process for cap management, winemakers can now use Pulsair in smaller fermentation tanks to enhance the infusions of phenolics, tannins and color to improve aromatics, complex structure and reduce reductive and stuck ferments.

 

A lightweight, portable stainless steel probe is inserted in through the buoyant cap to sequentially release the timed pulses of compressed air or gas into the ferment.  The speed and intensity of the modulated injection of air pulses can be controlled on the all-pneumatic, air driven Pulsair TM-1501W Mixer.  Once released under the cap, the rising compressed air bubbles push the juice up into and over the top of the cap flooding, loosening and immersing it with juice yielding a healthier and less oxygen starved ferment.

 

The Pulsair air mixing process has also been characterized by winemakers as a 'reverse pump-down' or an 'in-tank pump-over'.

Without compromising any wine quality, the Pulsair air mixing process is gentle on berries, safe to use and requires much less physical effort from the winemaking team to bring the juice, yeast bodies and skins together during primary red fermentation in any size tank.

 

By completely flooding the cap with the juice, the winemaking team can easily and confidently blow off trapped H2S gases and heat that can lengthen and adversely impact the desired winemaking goals. The Pulsair air/gas mixing process can be used exclusively in place of or in conjunction with traditional punch-down and pump-over cap management techniques. Adopting Pulsair is inexpensive and effective. With a extra accessories, the Pulsair equipment can also be used year-round for any type of wine tank blending or mixing with nitrogen gas. The multipurpose uses of Pulsair helps streamline operations at any size winery and will help reduce cost-per-gallon calculations.

 

What is Pulsair?  Hear what Russell Bevan of Bevan Cellars says:

 

 

In addition to primary cap management and year-round blending, Pulsair can also be used for any type of pre-fermentation must modification including but not limited to dry ice, water addition, acid additions and enzymes & tannins additions.  Yeast and nutrients can now also be completely mixing throughout the entire fermentation tank during inoculation.

 

Using Pulsair is also the fastest and most effective method for completely homogenizing any ‘liquid’ addition. No longer do winemakers need to wait days and days for a pump-overs to finally and completely blend in liquid additions with wine juice.  Winemakers can now make their ‘liquid’ addition and then quickly and completely mix the entire tank with Pulsair and have the confidence that the pulled lab sample is now accurate.

 

In addition to Pulsair’s new TM-1501W, Pulsair continues to offer a wide variety and selection of affordable, low maintenance, portable, mobile and permanent multi-tank mixing solutions for any size fermentation tank or number of tanks.  (The largest tank mixed with Pulsair has been a 450-ton, 23’ diameter tank in the Lodi, CA area).  Many large scale wineries have over a 100 tanks outfitted with Pulsair for fast, efficient, multi-tank cost savings and labor saving cap management.
