AH230 Heavyweight Principally designed as a small batch closed fermentor the APOLLO™ tank may also be used for long term storage. As a fermentor the Apollo offers a number of advantages over open bin ferments. Protection from fruit flies; an egg shape that concentrates the cap; an oxidative environment similar to wood or concrete vessels. Cap management by pump over or punch down. Moulded in inserts provide for convenient attachment of valve flanges and accessories. Lifting pivots allow the tank to be forklifted and inverted to eject pomace into the press, or rocked during extended lees contact. Depending upon the application the pivots may be mounted to alter the relationship between the pivot point and center of gravity (CG). A robust pallet is available for placing full tanks on pallet racking for space efficient storage.

PDM300/PDH300 The OVinti Stacker Tank breaks new ground for convenience and performance. A strong rotationally moulded polyethylene tank is fitted into a well proven German engineered and USA produced pallet/cage system to protect and properly support the tank. Full units may be stacked up to four high for excellent space utilization in the cellar. A drain valve may be mounted with its exit below floor level and the tank features a wedge shaped "punt" in the floor to ensure excellent drainage. Drain, racking and sample valve accessories are fitted to the tank using moulded in threaded inserts. Six closely spaced stainless steel bolts attach the drain and racking valve flanges securely to the tank. An 18 mm insert accepts the micro sample valve. Stacker tanks are available in two wall thicknesses designed to give different rates of oxygen ingress via permeation through the polyethylene tank walls. The Maturation weight tank is designed to simulate the average second year barrel and the heavyweight an older or "neutral" barrel.

Wine Friendly Closures
Dexter series tanks are named for winemaker Joe Dexter, proprietor of Lobo Loco Wines in Wilton, California. Joe produced the first gold medal winning wine in the USA using OVinti oxygen permeable maturation vessels. Dexter tanks feature a patented 49 cm diameter man way opening, hermetically sealed with the clamp style lid and gasket shown. The clamp lid requires neither tools nor herculean strength to install or remove as opposed to similar diameter threaded openings. As the tank is filled, wine impacts the convex lower surface of the lid and then fills the gap between lid and tank. Final fill is through the 50 mm threaded bung hole after the lid has been clamped in place. Minimal entrapped air results. The wide opening makes for a versatile tank that can be used for primary and secondary ferments in addition to maturation storage. Excellent access for cleaning or the addition and removal of oak adjunct products.
OVinti "ECO" style Maturation and Storage Tanks
Both ECOnomical and ECOlogical, the OVinti ECO series tanks are the lowest cost approach to replacing oak barrels for wine maturation with oxygen permeable polyethylene. ECOlogical as they are fully recyclable after a long service life. ECO tanks feature a molded in male thread and rugged 6 inch diameter screw cap with a 50 mm threaded center bung. This provides sufficient access for cleaning the inner top surface and the addition or removal of oak adjuncts. This cap traps minimal air and accepts accessories. ECO tanks are available in 100 and 265 litre capacities in "Maturation" Weight designed to simulate the oxygenation performance of the average second year barrel at cellar temperature. The 250 litre version is also available as a "Heavy-weight"
Accessory Installation
All tanks feature moulded in inserts for the attachment of drain valves and sample valves. Apollo and Stacker Tanks have an additional set of inserts for the economical installation of racking valves with or without rotating elbows.
