WINE INDUSTRY

 The wine-making industry has always played an important role in the history of humanity in both economic and social terms. The wine tradition has such ancient origins that its roots are buried in legends: the Bible attributes the discovery of wine to Noah after the Flood. The earliest historical documents that bear witness to the production of wine date as far back as 5000 B.C. in Mesopotamia in the Fertile Crescent, where the ancient Sumerians began cultivating wild grape vines and fermenting grapes.

 

Currently in Italy and in countries like France and Spain the wine making industry is a leading sector in continual change that is investing heavily in the development of new viticulture and winemaking techniques, with the aim of producing an ever higher quality of wine.

The winemaking process varies depending on the type of wine to be produced and includes all processing and fermentation stages from the delivery of the grapes to the final product.

 

Progressive cavity pumps are ideal for the various process stages as they convey the fluid throughout the entire process in a particularly delicate way, from the berry crushing stage through to the bottling of the wine. The tensile stress to which the pumped fluid is subjected is very limited compared to other pumping systems being pulsation-free above all with heterogeneous products such as for example pomace and crushed and destemmed grapes.
