Kern winery
At the Kern wine cellar, a multiple system comprised of two JUNIOR-series steam generators is used in the careful production of white wine, red wine and sparkling wine. Thanks to a cascade connection with peak-load regulation, steam is provided extremely efficiently with reduced fuel use.
This family-run winery with a history rich in tradition spanning more than 100 years requires steam output of up to 1,000 kg/h with fluctuating demand.
Steam is required for a variety of different processes:
- Mash heating
- Desulfurization
- Sterilization for bottling
- Hot water generation
Equipment
- 2 CERTUSS JUNIOR 500 steam generators, gas combustion
- CERTUSS CVE supply unit, with water conditioning equipment
- Cascaded double system, with peak-load regulation.
Energy-efficient, solid processing and easy operation. From consulting to completion, a competent contact partner was always there.
