Sustainable Cleaning & Drying Solutions for the Modern Winery
Today’s wine consumers are increasingly focused on sustainability, pushing wineries to reduce water use, limit chemicals, and improve overall efficiency — all without compromising wine quality. Meeting these expectations requires innovative systems that make operations cleaner, faster, and more resource-efficient.
Spraying Systems Co. helps wineries achieve exactly that. Their Cloud-Sellers® Tank Cleaning and WindJet® Drying Systems are designed to minimize waste and energy consumption while maintaining high production standards.
The Cloud-Sellers® 360 Tank Cleaner and TankJet® Nozzles deliver powerful, uniform cleaning with less water and reduced cycle times, helping wineries save both time and resources. Meanwhile, WindJet® Air Knife Systems use clean, heated air to dry bottles and containers quickly and efficiently — cutting energy use and reducing the need for compressed air.
By integrating these sustainable solutions, wineries can lower operational costs, conserve valuable resources, and meet growing consumer demand for eco-friendly practices — all while maintaining the quality their wines are known for.

Reducing Spray Drift and Chemical WasteReducing Spray Drift and Chemical Waste
Spraying vineyards with pesticides and fungicides can often result in drift, leading to inefficient application and environmental damage. Wineries are under increasing pressure to reduce chemical usage and minimize spray drift.
Solution: Low-Drift Nozzles from Spraying Systems Co.
Spraying Systems Co. offers advanced Low-Drift Nozzles and TankJet® Nozzles designed to reduce spray drift, providing more precise application of chemicals. These nozzles minimize waste, reduce environmental impact, and ensure better treatment coverage for the vines.
How It Works:
Low-Drift Nozzles create larger droplets that fall directly onto the vines, minimizing drift and ensuring that chemicals are applied more efficiently.
TankJet® Nozzles offer customizable spray patterns, allowing you to adjust the nozzle to match your specific needs, whether you're spraying large areas or hard-to-reach spots in the vineyard.
These technologies help you reduce chemical consumption, lower costs, and reduce environmental impact.
By adopting these precision nozzles, you can ensure targeted, effective spraying while conserving resources and protecting the environment.

Case Study: Wine Bottle Manufacturer Saves More than $161,000 on Compressed Air with New Blower System
Problem:
A manufacturer of wine bottles needed to blow broken glass off production lines. Homemade air nozzles fabricated from crimped stainless steel tubing were being used. The nozzles were able to remove the glass from the conveyor lines but they were extremely expensive to operate because they consumed a large volume of compressed air.
Solution:
Spraying Systems Co.’s solution is WindJet® Air Cannon packages, which are installed on each of the seven production lines in the plant. Each system consists of a 2.5HP blower and a 1” air cannon to powerfully blow broken glass from the conveyor. The regenerative blowers are low maintenance, low noise, energy efficient and produce clean, heated air. WindJet Air Cannons deliver a uniform, high-velocity air stream that is able to easily blow broken shards of glass away from the production line.
Results:
Prior to installing the WindJet® Air Cannon packages, the customer had been spending almost US$170,000 annually on compressed air. The annual operating expenses for the WindJet Air Cannon packages are about US$8,500 – a savings of more than US$161,000. The cost of the new system was recouped in just over one month.
