Cooling trough

Embedded system to cool the juices
immediately after pressing

COQUARD Patent

VITeff 2015 Innovation Award : les Pressoirs Coquard

The cold is a key feature of the hygiene of the grape juice. The principle of the new system developed by Coquard consists in cooling down the juice to about 15°C during it flows in the tray integrated into the press. Refrigeration is ensured either by an existing cooling unit, or a small autonomous one. The Cooling trough is located under the press or on one side. It has a slightly tilted double-skin bottom where a coolant is flowing through at a temperature set between 0 and 10°C as needed.

Prix à l'innovation

cooling trough

This new system provides significant benefits
  • To lower the risk of the fermentation to start during and after pressing.
  • To limit the oxydation of the juices.
  • To improve the musts clarification made by eliminating course particles under a controlled temperature.
  • To improve the quality of the musts by controlling the cold chain from the grapes pressing.
  • Significantly reduces energy consumption to cool down the musts.
