Wine Cap Management and Wine Blending with Pneumatage

“Pneumatage” is a proven method of managing the grape cap during red wine fermentation.  Pulsair System’s Pneumatage process and equipment are being used throughout the world to replace fermentation pump over, punch down, irrigation and other conventional methods of cap management.  A large bubble of compressed air or gas is created by the Pulsair Pneumatage system to generate vertical liquid flow in the tank that turns the cap and floods the solids with juice.  Unlike other methods Pneumatage actually breaks up the cap into individual berries and then circulates them in the liquid.  This provides early color and flavor extraction.  The action keeps the yeast healthy and cap moist throughout.  Utilization of Pulsair during the initial phases of the fermentation keeps the cap in a semi-loose state making it easier and more efficient to periodically conduct the Pneumatage.
