Variable capacity tanks are straight sided cylinders with an inner lid which can be lowered onto the surface of the product (or supported above the product during fermentation) and sealed around its circumference by an inflatable tube. The tank can therefore be filled partially and then sealed to exclude air. These tanks are most useful when the wine or cider maker cannot be sure of the size of the harvest.

Flat bottomed tanks offer the most economical option. Supplied with inner lid and airlock, airseal and stainless steel airpump, with pressure gauge. One threaded outlet near the bottom of the tank to which a valve can be fitted (extra, see page 26). We strongly recommend the use of a dustlid to prevent the contamination of product when the lid seal is deflated. These tanks are often available from stock.
*These tanks are not manufactured by Speidel.
These offer the advantage of two outlets. The bottom of the tank is concave (or dished) with a pressed V channel to the bottom drain. There is an outlet above the bottom rim of the tank for racking off clear product above any sediment or lees. The bottom outlet is threaded to take valves (extra see page 26); the upper outlet can either be threaded or fitted with a flap valve. These tanks are available from 530 litres up to 15,000 litres capacity.

These tanks are available in either cylindrical or rectangular (space-saving) formats. Most of the smaller capacity tanks can be stacked one upon another to make optimum use of restricted space. Standard tanks range from 320 litres to 32,000 litres capacity, with over 200 sizes available, offering a range of diameters and heights to suit most applications.

Features include: Automatic grape cap punching down and pumping over with must Temperature control Portable punching down systems for use with open-topped tanks Metered sliding bottom discharge door
A very useful range of mixing tanks for food and drink producers. These tanks are designed for use with a portable stirrer or rouser via a 45 port in the side of the tank (with a GR37 thread to accept the rouser). This positions the rouser propeller near the bottom of the tank, ensuring efficient mixing. These tanks have mirror finish internal surfaces for easy cleaning and an inclined concave dished bottom with V channel to the drain outlet to ensure complete discharge.

RaCking PiPeS
Racking pipes are designed for use with barrels and tanks without a bottom outlet. The pipe is introduced through the bung hole or top opening and lowered into the liquid. They are made from AISI 316 stainless steel tube, with an adjustable bottom foot. The side inlet allows the pipe to be set off the base of the vessel, avoiding sediment, and a 90 bend at the top prevents the flexible hose from kinking. N.B. pipes are fitted with a BSP threaded socket. A threaded adaptor must be fitted to give the required thread for the hose connection.
