As consumer interest in lower-alcohol and alcohol-free wine options grows, wineries are turning to innovative methods to reduce alcohol content while preserving the quality and character of their wines. One of the most crucial components in this process is temperature control, specifically through the use of chillers that support dealcoholisation machinery. Heuch Cooling Solutions provides robust, tailored chiller systems that integrate seamlessly with these machines, helping wineries maintain precise temperature conditions throughout the dealcoholisation process.
Dealcoholisation is a delicate procedure that requires a balance between removing alcohol and retaining the original flavour, aroma, and body of the wine. Technologies like vacuum distillation, membrane filtration, and reverse osmosis are commonly used to remove alcohol content, but these processes can generate significant heat, which needs to be controlled to avoid impacting wine quality. That’s where chillers come in—by providing a steady flow of coolant, they help maintain the optimal temperatures required for each stage of dealcoholisation, ensuring the wine’s sensory properties remain intact.
During the dealcoholisation process, chillers work in conjunction with dealcoholisation machines to prevent overheating, which could otherwise damage the delicate compounds responsible for a wine’s flavour and aroma. Chillers allow winemakers to control the temperature precisely, avoiding degradation and ensuring a product that meets both quality and regulatory standards. Heuch’s chillers are designed with high precision and reliability, delivering consistent cooling even in the demanding environment of a winery.
