Wine-making systems. It’s grape harvest time in Italy! Indeed, the stainless steel is a basic material in wine-making systems as well as for breweries.
Wine-making system. Stainless steel is the star!
For the design and construction of tanks and wine storage facilities it is usually chosen AISI 304 stainless steel austenitic. This type of steel is specific for food use. (better still if accompanied by certificate of origin)
Why did you choose stainless steel? First of all, for its cleanliness. In fact, this material is non-toxic. Then we choose stainless steel for its corrosion resistance. And at last, for its characteristic to maintain an even temperature. These are all qualities that make it perfect for a prolonged liquid storage. Both still or sparkling wine. Good things come in stainless steel packages!
Wine-making systems – What type of hardware be used?

All these items are strictly in stainless steel precisely to allow an effective fermentation process. Above all, to achieve an excellent wine quality. Indeed, wine tanks will be equipped with accessories. Also in stainless steel.
What are them?
- Valve couplings
- Full passage ball valve
- Eyebolts etc..
In fact, the quality of the accessories is important to maintain high performance.
What type of stainless steel can you use on vineyards located in maritime areas?
Your customer are a vineyard owner. And he have a vineyard located in a maritime area. What do you recommend to him? It should be pointed out that in environments with salty air it is recommended the use of austenitic stainless steel. Specifically, the AISI 316 that containing Cr (chrome), Ni (nickel) and 2% of Mo (molybdenum). Indeed, this type of stainless steel is particularly suitable to resist:
- At the corrosion of the reaction compounds in the cycle of production and maturation of wines
- At saltwater corrosion from the external environment.
