SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION OF WINES

摘要

The system is provided for aspirating and suctioning a minimum quantity of wine from a barrel (1) or fermentation tank for the analysis of the malic acid, and optionally, the lactic acid, acetic acid and histamines, and thereby gaining control of the development of the malolactic fermentation of the wine inside the barrel (1), without needing to manually take samples for analysis. The suctioning or aspiration occurs via a tube (4-4') which passes through the corresponding lid (2) of the barrel, with the insertion of a solenoid valve (3) in the tube (4-4') and of a peristaltic pump (5) in the external section of the tube (4'), which peristaltic pump is the component which carries out the minimal suctioning of the wine in order to send same to sensors (6) that analyse the malic acid or other components, with the signals being sent wirelessly (7) to a computer, to a mobile telephone or any other means of displaying and viewing the results.
