In the intricate world of winemaking, the role of compressed air, vacuum, and blowers is pivotal, driving various machinery essential to the production process. As we delve into the significance of compressed air systems in wineries, we invite you to explore these insights and join us at the Unified Wine and Grape Symposium to meet with our air system specialists.
The critical role of compressed air in winemaking:
Compressed air serves as the backbone of wine production, powering and controlling machinery ranging from bladder presses to pneumatic transfer pumps, climate control pneumatics, packaging equipment, printing and labeling, palletizers, de-palletizers, and air-driven hand tools. The demand for stable, clean, and dry air is particularly evident in processes like nitrogen generation. Additionally, vacuum plays a crucial role in packaging, while low-pressure air is essential in pneumatic conveying and wastewater treatment.
Challenges in air system management:
Despite their integral role in the wine value chain, compressed air systems are often poorly managed, leading to challenges such as oversizing and poor controls. These issues result in wasted power, inconsistent pressure, and increased wear on compressors, impacting production equipment. The consequences extend to reduced productivity, higher scrap rates, and increased downtime. Factors like leaks, improper usage, and artificial demand contribute to nearly half of the produced air going to waste.
