From Orchard/Vineyard to Bottle — The Production Process (Process Steps)

Our wine and cider systems support the complete production flow, from fruit processing and controlled fermentation to clarification, carbonation, and final packaging.

  • Distillery Equipment

    Fruit Reception & Juice Extraction

    The process begins with raw fruit handling. Our systems can integrate with de-stemmers, crushers, and fruit presses to efficiently extract juice from grapes, apples, or other fruits while reducing skin and seed damage.

  • Distillery Equipment

    Controlled Fermentation & Maturation

    The extracted juice is transferred to wine or cider fermentation tanks with efficient cooling jackets for precise temperature control. After fermentation, the liquid can be moved to storage tanks or variable capacity tanks for clarification, aging, and oxidation protection.

  • Distillery Equipment

    Carbonation & Packaging

    For hard cider or sparkling products, the beverage can be transferred to pressure-rated brite tanks for carbonation. Finally, the finished wine or cider is routed to bottling, canning, or kegging lines for packaging.

Why Winemakers & Cider Makers Choose ZR BREW (Features)

  • Distillery Equipment

    Variable Capacity "Always Full" Design

    Oxidation is the enemy of wine. We offer specialized Variable Capacity Tanks (VCT) with pneumatic floating lids. As you draw wine from the tank, the lid lowers, ensuring zero oxygen contact regardless of the liquid volume.

  • Distillery Equipment

    Precision Dimple Cooling Jackets

    Fruit fermentation requires strict thermal control. Our tanks feature laser-welded dimple jackets that maximize the surface area for glycol heat exchange, responding rapidly to temperature adjustments.

  • Distillery Equipment

    Ergonomic Pomace Removal

    Dealing with grape skins and seeds is labor-intensive. Our red wine fermenters are designed with large, rectangular out-swinging manways placed flush with the sloped bottom, making pomace removal effortless.

  • Unmatched Batch Consistency

    Sanitary & Easy to Clean

    Every tank interior is polished to a mirror-like sanitary finish (Ra < 0.4 µm) and passivated. Combined with integrated CIP (Clean-In-Place) spray balls, this prevents bacterial contamination and cross-flavoring between vintages.

Winery & Cidery Equipment — Essential Knowledge For Buyers

  • Winery & Cidery Equipment

    What is a Variable Capacity Tank (VCT) and why do I need it?

    A VCT features a lid that floats directly on top of the wine, sealed against the tank wall by an inflatable pneumatic gasket. As you sell or drink the wine, you deflate the gasket, lower the lid, and re-inflate it. This guarantees that the wine is never exposed to oxygen (which causes spoilage), making it the most versatile tank for any growing winery.

    Fast ROI Labor Saving Higher Daily Output
  • Winery & Cidery Equipment

    Can I use the same tanks for both Wine and Hard Cider?

    Yes, mostly. Both beverages require sanitary stainless steel and precise temperature control during fermentation. However, if you intend to produce sparkling cider, you will need pressure-rated tanks (Brite Tanks) capable of holding CO2, whereas traditional still wine tanks are non-pressurized.

    Recipe Flexibility HMI Control Consistent Brewing
  • Winery & Cidery Equipment

    Why are rectangular manways preferred for red wine?

    Red wine ferments with the grape skins and seeds (the "must" or "pomace"). After the liquid is drained, this solid mass remains at the bottom of the tank. A large, rectangular manway located at the very base allows a worker to easily rake or shovel the pomace out, whereas a small round manhole makes this process incredibly difficult.
