How Pulsair Works: Frequently Asked Questions

Top Questions about Puslair Systems' Pneumatage wine process:

How does a Pulsair mixer work?

A large bubble of compressed air/gas is introduced at the bottom of the tank. As the bubble rises it pushes the liquid up through the cap, and eventually circulates the entire contents of the tank.


What kind of air/gas can I use?

Any compressed gas can be used; however the most common is clean compressed air when managing the cap during red wine fermentation. Nitrogen is most commonly used when blending or making additions to the wine.


What equipment do I need for open top fermentors?

A Pulsair PTM or TM series portable mixing unit used in conjunction with a wand from the top of an open fermentor is a very efficient and cost effective method of cap management.


What do I use if I have a closed tank or if my tanks are too tall to use a wand from the top?

A Pulsair portable unit attached to a "hot tap" probe that is inserted through a racking port is applicable for tanks up to 8' in diameter. Large tanks require more than one injection port. A Pulsair Wine Cart has multiple valves and is an excellent step-up from a portable mixer or larger tanks.


How many tanks can I manage with one of the PLC based control systems?

Pulsair PLC based controllers are available for wineries of every size, from small boutique style operations to very large production facilities. Each PLC controlled system is engineered to fit the needs of the winery and can literally control an infinite number of tanks.
