Our Solutions for Wine Industry

 

The Role of Wineries

Modern wineries manage highly technological systems not only to carry out wine-making, an extremely complex and delicate process, but also for space heating and managing the heat flow throughout the entire production process. Temperature control plays a fundamental role, as it conditions most of the chemical, biological and physical processes that occur during the transformation of grapes into wine and allows the enologist to make choices in a safe and effective way. To meet the needs of each phase of wine-making, a cooling and heating system that ensures cold and heat cycles in the cellar in the most flexible and efficient way is required. Mitsubishi Electric Efficient solutions for tomorrow’s wine-making. Thanks to its wide range of products and its vast experience in cooling and heating systems for the wine sector, Mitsubishi Electric is an excellent partner for the most prestigious wineries in the world.

 

Wine Production Process

The transformation of grapes into wine is a complex and delicate process consisting of essential steps each of which has a specific role and contributes significantly to the creation of a unique, high-quality product. From pressing to fermentation, from storage to aging, each stage in fact requires dedicated hygrometric conditions, which are essential to ensure the highest quality of the final product. In addition, the ability to absorb large load peaks and ensure maximum efficiency, and complete reliability are key elements of the units designed to generate the cold or heat required in the different stages of wine production.

 

Successful Stories

The experience gained in the global air conditioning market, with thousands of projects completed worldwide, has allowed Mitsubishi Electric to successfully apply its skills also to the wine sector. This transfer of know-how has led to significant benefits, improving the efficiency of wine-making plants and reducing both energy consumption and operating costs. Mitsubishi Electric has therefore contributed to optimising the wine-making process, ensuring precise and reliable temperature control during all stages of wine production. The application of technologies such as the RED cooler that improves the unit’s energy performance, the in-house designed shell and tube evaporator that provides simplified maintenance and cleaning, and the recovery and reuse of otherwise waste heat, which allows for a major reduction in operating costs, make our solutions for the wine industry the ideal choice for companies and wineries that make quality of their product, sustainability and hospitality the key factors to their success. From South Africa to Uruguay and Chile, from Greece to England, via, of course, numerous projects throughout Italy, there are indeed many wineries around the world that take advantage of the benefits resulting from the use of our wine industry climate control solutions.
