To meet the needs of different wineries, Meto produces a wide range of winery equipment<\/strong> in multiple sizes and configurations. Choosing the right tank depends on several factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glycol-jacketed tanks enable precise temperature management, critical for high-quality wines. Multiple smaller tanks may be easier to cool or heat than a single large tank, depending on cellar design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if your winery is small now, consider future growth. Slightly larger tanks allow expansion without the cost and downtime of new installations. Modular systems let you add capacity as production increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Larger tanks can be more challenging to clean manually; ensure your system supports CIP (clean-in-place) for efficient hygiene. Smaller tanks provide easier access but may increase labor if batches are frequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crafted from 304\/316L stainless steel with laser welding and mirror polishing (Ra\u202f\u2264\u202f0.6\u202f\u00b5m), Meto fermenters deliver superior hygiene, corrosion resistance, and chemical durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glycol-jacketed tanks provide precise fermentation temperature regulation\u2014essential for producing high-quality wines and consistent results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Available in sizes ranging from 100\u202fL to 50,000\u202fL, with customizable shapes\u2014including cylindrical, truncated top, and horizontal\u2014to fit any cellar layout seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engineered for both open-top and closed fermentations, our tanks include ports for venting, sample valves, inert gas feeding, and overpressure protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Equipped with rotary spray balls, sanitary manways, butterfly valves, and sampling ports, Meto tanks support efficient cleaning and maintenance workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Horizontal fermenters can include adjustable-speed agitators, ideal for macerating red must and remilling grape skins to enhance color and flavor extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"wine](\"https:\/\/metobrew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/wine-fermentation-tank-1-1.webp\")
