Application of Stainless Steel in Wine Tank
Liquor has an aged fragrance, and the aging fragrance of liquor can only be obtained through long-term storage, and the aging fragrance obtained in different wine storage containers varies greatly.
There are many pores of different sizes in the wall of the traditional wine storage container pottery jar. Liquor can breathe through these pores and produce various aromatic compounds such as aldehydes and acids, accelerating the aging and maturation, thus having good aging. Flavor.
At present, the large stainless steel tanks commonly used in the liquor industry for wine storage have close intermolecular arrangements and no air permeability. The liquor contained in them has almost no respiration effect, and the stored liquor generally ages slowly.
Aiming at the problem of lack of aging in large stainless steel tanks, combined with the advantages of pottery jars for storing liquor, a company invented the technology of built-in ceramic tubes in large tanks and now launched a brand new patented product-stainless steel small wine tanks with built-in ceramic tubes. The industry is a pioneer, opening a new era of liquor storage.
1. Structural design
The main body of the wine tank is made of stainless steel so that it has all the advantages of a stainless steel tank. The top of the tank is vertically installed with N ceramic pipes along the circumferential direction, and the installation position is as close to the tank wall as possible to maximize the number of ceramic pipes. The pottery tube has a sealing structure at one end, and a flange type at the other end for easy installation.
The sealed end is located in the tank so that the outside of the pottery tube is in contact with the wine, and the flange end is on the top surface of the pot to make the inside of the pottery tube communicate with the outside atmosphere, and the port is wrapped with colored silk to prevent dust. Each pottery tube is equivalent to a small pottery altar. , The white wine in the stainless steel tank can breathe as if it is in a pottery jar through the convection of the pottery tube and the air.
This structural design creatively integrates stainless steel tanks and pottery altars. It not only has the storage efficiency, storage safety, and intelligent management of the storage process of stainless steel tanks but also has the aging microcirculation function of pottery pots. It is a revolution in small wine storage containers. Sexual progress.
2. Aging function
The clever installation of the pottery tube enables the built-in pottery tube stainless steel small wine tank to breathe through the pottery tube like a pottery jar and promotes the maturity of liquor, so it has a very good aging function. If the outside of the pottery tube is made of unglazed form, the effect will be better.
Tests have proved that the aging rate and maturation effect of the liquor in this type of wine tank is close to that of the pottery jar. The pottery tubes in the large-scale storage tank are interconnected, and the effect of forced ventilation circulation is better. Luzhou-flavor liquor is stored for 8 months. After that, it has a good mellow and sweet flavor.
In order to make the wine and the ceramic tube fully contact, ensure the aging effect, and at the same time have a good cost performance, the volume of the small wine tank is generally not more than 3 cubic meters and not less than 1.5 cubic meters.
