Reliable Cold Stabilization
Energy and time savings relative to cream of tartar addition with 7-day refrigeration.
High-efficiency cold stabilization
Designed to optimize quality, reduce processing time, and minimize energy use, amaea CSx sets a new standard in cold stabilization delivering:
Reliable KHT Stability: Achieve potassium bitartrate (KHT) stability to user-specified conductivity levels, without compromising pH and wine quality.
Accelerated Processing: Instant precipitation reduces a 7-day cold stabilization process down to 1.
Sustainable & Cost-Effective: Integrated heat exchange technology saves energy costs.
Additive-Free: Functionalized crystals designed for reusability, helping retain yield and minimize waste streams.
Mobile, Scalable, Just-In-Time: Continuous, on-demand and mobile, designed for easy deployment, requiring minimal space and supporting infrastructure.
Non-stable wine is passed through amaea CSx at ambient temperature. Using heat-exchange technology, the wine is chilled and then passed through columns filled with regenerable, functionalized crystals, which are fluidized to rapidly precipitate potassium bitartrate from the wine to achieve the winery’s target conductivity. The stabilized wine is then returned to ambient temperature and sent to its selected destination.
