UV00 Pilotanlage für die Weintraubenverarbeitung, Computergesteuert (PC) und Touchscreen

The Computer Controlled and Touch Screen Pilot Plant for the Grape Treatment, "UV00", designed by EDIBON, is a pilot plant in which the main production processes related to grapes are carried out.

• GD/CTS. Computer Controlled and Touch Screen Grape Destemming Unit: The first step in the treatment of the grapes is the washing and the destemming, a process in which dirt, dust and scrapings are removed from the bunches, as well as a light pressing (a process that is carried out in the destemmer).
• TMVF. Two Tanks for Maceration, Vatting and Fermentation of Wine: The next step in the production of wine is the vatting of the must produced during approximately 6 days as the first step of fermentation, this process is not carried out if the final product is juice.
• HGP/CTS. Computer Controlled and Touch Screen Hydraulic Grape Press: Subsequently, the product coming from the destemmer is introduced into a press, where a liquid and filtered product is obtained. The use of a press increases the productivity of the process by being able to obtain a greater quantity of liquid that is not retained in the pomace.
• TERA. Refrigeration or Heating Water Recirculation Unit: For the elaboration of the juice, after pressing, a conditioning and sterilization process would be carried out before proceeding to its bottling or concentrate. In winemaking, the must obtained after pressing must be stored under controlled conditions, 15 °C and a relative humidity between 60 % and 80 %.
• EDLC. Computer Controlled Liquid Packaging Teaching Unit: Storage may be in barrels or directly into the bottle. This pilot plant incorporates a bottling machine equipped with a filter to remove any impurities it may contain.

These units are supplied with EDIBON's own designed SCADA + PLCHMI (system composed of an interface including PLC as the CPU, digital I/O module, analog I/O module, communication module, etc. and a control box with HMI display) to control the whole process and all the parameters involved in the bottling process.
