E-FLOT

The range of E-Flot flotation equipment, designed by AEB ENGINEERING, allows the optimisation of the clarification of the must. With the help of E-Flot, the winemaker will be able to achieve faster clarification, reducing the energy expenditure in the winery thanks to a limited use of cooling systems.

AEB ENGINEERING is the division specialised in the production of plants and equipment which, thanks to its know-how and to its 100% internal and on-site production, guarantees the highest quality and reliability of the AEB technologies. The uniqueness of AEB ENGINEERING is given by the constant support of our technicians, both during installation and after sales. For an unparalleled service that is flexible and tailored to the customer needs.

WHY CHOOSE AEB ENGINEERING?

• Reduced clarification time
• Energy saving through reduction of cooling calories

• Limited use of adjuvants
• Significant reduction of must lees
• High versatility according to winery needs

This special model has been designed to be integrated into standard continuous pool flotation systems and completely replaces the saturation unit.

Clarification of musts by means of the E-Flot system uses the principle of incorporating a gas into the solids that constitute the turbidity in the liquid. The gas binds to the suspended particles, which then float towards the surface of the tank, leaving the lower part of the tank clear. For this process to take place, the must has to be fully depectinised.

For this purpose, a specific enzyme such as Endozym E-Flot is recommended. It has the properties of rapid action combined with the ability to completely degrade all components in the colloid. In order to obtain optimal flotation, i.e., an improved must clarity and a clearer diminution in turbidity, we suggest using E-Gel, which will allow the formation of flocs of a consistency to ensure that all unnecessary particles are incorporated. Other clarifiers such as bentonite or silica sol can be used if the desire is to obtain a must deproteinization or the elimination of the carbon in suspension before the fermentation.

E-Flot’s highly versatile nature derives from its patented usage options which allows both the introduction of the gas into the pump inlet to produce exceptionally clear musts, and the dosing of the gas at the outlet, which considerably increases the hourly flow rate.
