  • Patent number: 12084638
    Abstract: A method for devatting the grape harvest and a device for devatting a grape harvest via the pressurized injection of air or other gases in a controlled manner into self-emptying wine making vats or similar, for the purpose of emptying the grape harvest once the maceration thereof has been completed, after the homogenization of the mixture, transferring the liquid portion to another tank and the crushed grape pulp to the press, thereby obtaining a solid phase (pomace) as a waste product which can be used to produce associated products.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 16, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2024
    Assignee: PRODUCTOS AGROVIN, S.A.
    Inventors: Irene Manzanero Fernandez, Juan Alberto Iniesta Ortiz, Ricardo Jurado Fuentes
  • Patent number: 11634674
    Abstract: A method and equipment for the pressurized injection of air or other gases in a controlled manner into wine making tanks or similar for the purpose of efficiently breaking up the cap and extracting polyphenolic and aromatic compounds from the skins to the liquid portion (must) after the crushing of the grapes using the method for pumping over the grape harvest during the maceration thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11052371
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method and an equipment for the extraction of compounds from grapes by means of ultrasound in vinification processes generated through a sonoplate coupled to the walls of the pipe/duct through which the crushed grapes flow. During this extraction the transfer of phenols responsible for color from the solid portion (skin) to the liquid portion after crushing the grapes takes place as a consequence of the phenomenon known as cavitation, which allows the breaking of the skin cells and makes the phenolic compounds responsible for the color available to the liquid medium to be integrated in said liquid medium enhancing wine color.

  • Publication number: 20210115363
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for devatting the grape harvest and a means for devatting a grape harvest via the pressurised injection of air or other gases in a controlled manner into self-emptying wine making vats or similar, for the purpose of emptying the grape harvest once the maceration thereof has been completed, after the homogenisation of the mixture, transferring the liquid portion to another tank and the crushed grape pulp to the press, thereby obtaining a solid phase (pomace) as a waste product which can be used to produce associated products.
