Resin plants for winemaking, selective control of stability, pH, metals and color.
Winemaking covers the full journey from grape to bottled wine. Resin plants allow selective, industrial control of critical parameters through repeatable and monitored processes.
Pentafood designs and builds scalable resin plants for small, mid size and large wineries, featuring PLC automation and optional remote monitoring and diagnostics.
Resin plants are column systems using ion exchange resins and or adsorbent resins to remove or modulate specific components in wine or must. The treatment is engineered to be selective, traceable and easy to integrate into cellar lines.
The goal is a controlled process that supports winery quality targets while maintaining operational continuity.
Pentafood plants are PLC controlled across all phases, including processing, regeneration and storage. Automation enables anomaly detection with local alarms and, where configured, remote notifications to support operational continuity.
Below are common applications. Each solution is engineered according to matrix, objectives and line constraints, with defined targets and repeatable operation.
Solutions focused on tartaric stability and standardization of key parameters, with modular layouts depending on flow rate and campaign volumes.
Systems designed to adjust pH under controlled conditions, based on process engineering and the winery product specification.
Plants aimed at reducing cations and metals that can compromise stability, including iron, copper and other metals, with control logic ensuring repeatable results.
Adsorbent resin plants to selectively reduce phenolic fractions responsible for color. On request, the line can include color recovery, for example enocyanin, to add value to the process.
Solutions for must MCR rectification, engineered according to matrix, objectives and line constraints.
Pentafood also manufactures multifunctional systems that combine multiple treatments into one configurable platform. A common sequence can include decolorization, color recovery, stabilization with pH modulation and MCR rectification.
Sizing is driven by the matrix, the process target and the outlet specification, plus production constraints and utility management. A correct sizing approach supports repeatability and operational continuity.
Pentafood designs resin plants for winemaking with a production focused approach, combining selective treatment, traceable operation and PLC controlled sequences.
Plants are engineered to be easy to integrate into cellar lines and scalable across different winery sizes and campaign volumes.
In winemaking, resins, ion exchange or adsorbent, are column media used to remove or fine tune specific components in wine or must, supporting stability and quality targets under controlled conditions.
Depending on the configuration, resin plants can be used for stabilization, pH modulation, metal reduction including iron removal, decolorization and, when included, color recovery, as well as dedicated solutions such as must MCR rectification.
Yes. Systems can be sized for different flow rates and campaign volumes, making them suitable for small wineries and for medium and large industrial cellars.
Decolorization mainly targets phenolic fractions responsible for color. Stabilization focuses on achieving long term product stability against unwanted changes, according to the defined process target.
Yes. Pentafood builds multifunctional systems combining multiple sections, for example decolorization, color recovery, stabilization with pH modulation and MCR rectification, into one integrated platform.
Plants are PLC controlled during processing, regeneration and storage. Automation manages sequences and alarms and, where configured, remote notifications to support operational continuity.
Key inputs include matrix, wine or must, target and outlet specification, flow rate and campaign volumes, initial analytics and targets for pH, metals and color, and constraints for utilities and inline integration.
