Did you know industrial gases are crucial in producing your favorite red wines? MATHESON is proud to support the winemaking industry with our innovative gas solutions. Enhancing the Winemaking Process: From grape to glass, our gases are instrumental in every step of red wine production. We give winemakers the tools they need to create exceptional wines with distinct flavors and aromas. Temperature Control: Our precise temperature control gases ensure optimal fermentation conditions, allowing winemakers to achieve the desired taste profiles and maintain consistency in each bottle. Oxygen Management: Through our expertise in oxygen management, we help winemakers control oxidation levels during fermentation and aging, preserving the delicate flavors and characteristics that make red wines so special. Laboratory Analysis: MATHESON supplies wineries with the necessary gases for accurate laboratory analysis. This enables winemakers to monitor and fine-tune the production process, ensuring t

The benefits of automating pumpovers are obvious in regard to labour savings and wine quality. There are however challenges with pumps running dry, isolators turned off and restricted flow. These damage equipment and cause essential pumpovers to be missed. The common answer to these challenges is to install a conductivity switch or flow sensor which add to the cost and complexity. VinWizard has been interfacing to vfd drives supplied by others for many years. This allows winemakers to create and run pumpover schedules from wherever they may be. Without feedback from the pump there is however a risk the pumpover is not actually happening as expected. Working with a world leading VFD manufacturer VinWizard now offers the control software and VFD panel as an integrated solution to overcome the above issues. By polling the motor of the pump we can tell if it is free-wheeling in which case an alarm is raised and we stop the pump. If the pump does not start you are notified immediately. VFD

Fill the jacket with cold glycol, hold for a period of time to transfer heat and then replace it with fresh coolant. Good money is required to cool glycol so why only get a partial return with a constant flow? If you were to introduce pulse cooling tomorrow you would be on the way to halving your refrigeration load for the entire year including vintage. If you were to add VinWizard Load Scheduling (synchronized off-peak cooling) you would easily show a 30% to 50% reduction in refrigeration power consumption. Add some pump control and you will do even better. PULSE COOLING BENEFITS The glycol is stationary when doing its work which is more efficient than with a constant flow. The glycol does not need to be as cold because of a more efficient heat transfer. The return glycol is much warmer than normal and will be returned to the chiller in bursts, so the chiller works more efficiently to bring it back down to temperature. The fluctuations in temperature cause convection in the tank which
