For many connoisseurs and aficionados, wine is more than just a drink – it’s a way of life. Around the world, fine wines are very popular. And GF products contribute to turning ripe grapes into excellent wine.
Less than an hour northeast of Melbourne lies Yarra Valley. Flanked by gently rolling hills, the Yarra Valley is one of Australia’s best-known wine regions. The local Zonzo Estate winery produces top wines, including Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – with the help of GF. To ensure that the yeast can ferment in optimal conditions, the correct heating and cooling are vital. The COOL-FIT 4.0 piping system from GF Piping Systems helps with this. Zonzo Estate uses COOL-FIT 4.0 for the wine production cooling circuit and for cooling and heating the entire production plant. In the cooling circuit that has been specially designed for the Zonzo Estate installation, a mixture of glycol and water circulates at a temperature of –5°C. Steady temperatures are important for wine production. Most of the time, the fermentation tanks need to be cooled. However, there are certain situations in which the fermentation of wine may require heating. The pre-insulated COOLFIT 4.0 lines reduce energy loss to a minimum, meaning that they are particularly energy- efficient.
Did you know?
The pipes of the COOLFIT 4.0 system are up to 65 % lighter than metal pipes. As a result, they put less strain on building structures and are easier to transport and install.
The COOL-FIT 4.0 system is 30 % more energy-efficient than conventional systems. Thanks to its low thermal conductivity and integrated foam insulation, it achieves a lower environmental footprint than previous commercially available pipes.
The lines are made of corrosion-free pipes and fittings and therefore require no maintenance.
