Charmat Tank

The Charmat tank method is a sparkling wine production method that involves conducting the second fermentation in a pressurized tank, rather than in individual bottles. This method was invented by French winemaker Eugene Charmat in the early 1900s and has since become a popular alternative to the traditional method of producing sparkling wine, known as the “Méthode Champenoise”.

Our company is Charmat Tank specialised in manufacturing from 1000 litres to 30,000 litres of capacity. Please contact us if you need to.

Product Description

Benefits of the Charmat Tank Approach

Compared to the conventional approach, the Charmat tank method of making sparkling wine has a number of advantages.

Production at a Low Cost

The Charmat tank method’s affordability is one of its key benefits. Compared to the traditional process, winemakers may create a higher volume of sparkling wine at a lesser cost since the second fermentation occurs in a pressurized tank. Because of this, it is the perfect technique for making vast amounts of inexpensive sparkling wine, like Prosecco.

Continual Excellence

Additionally, a more consistent grade of sparkling wine is possible with the Charmat tank method. Winemakers have more control over the process because the second fermentation occurs in a controlled setting, which produces a more uniform product..

Quicker Time of Production

The Charmat tank method enables faster production times than the conventional method. Depending on the desired level of effervescence, the second fermentation may take a few weeks to a few months. Compared to the traditional approach, which can take many years to make a bottle of sparkling wine, this is far faster.

Selecting the Correct Wine Tank

Selecting the appropriate wine tank is essential when making sparkling wine with the Charmat tank method.

Rating of Pressure

It’s critical to select a wine tank with an appropriate pressure rating because the second fermentation occurs under pressure. Without sacrificing the wine’s quality, the tank should be able to sustain the pressure created during the fermentation process.

Material

Stainless steel is the recommended material for the Charmat tank process and is commonly used to make wine tanks. Stainless steel is perfect for this industrial process since it is non-reactive, easy to clean, and able to endure high pressures.

Dimensions

Another crucial thing to think about is the wine tank’s size. The tank should be big enough to hold the amount of wine that is intended, but not so big that it gets hard to manage the fermentation process. The tank’s available area as well as the challenges of moving and cleaning it must be taken into account.

Nice fermentor, the company made some small changes we requested with out any hesitation, the only issue was there were a few minor weld defects which could have been improved, they are very receptive to the feed back and we are considering them for further work.

I looked at a lot of stills and found that buying a cheap one would be throwing away money. So I checked out professional built and designed stills. I looked on e-bay, Amazon and private companies in the US and found the best deal on Alibaba with Wenzhou Ace Machine. Great to communicate with, patient, respond quickly and professional. It's built as solid as it looks, like a tank. It should last a long time.
