Prospects of using the UPH-850 unit for sherry production by the film method

Abstract

The main direction of national wine industry development is a further modernization of technological equipment, supplying production with modern machines and devices in order to improve the quality and competitiveness of wine products, as well as to expand their assortment to more fully satisfy consumer demand. Sherry wine has the most complex production technology to provide this wine with original aroma and flavor. Despite various technologies for sherry production, and a variety of design solutions for technological equipment allowing these technologies to be implemented, the film method of wine sherrization remains the main for the production of high-quality vintage wine of this type. However, it remains labor-intensive and lowproductive. In order to increase the volume of high-quality sherry production, the UPH-850 unit for the production of sherry using a continuous film method was developed in the Institute Magarach, taking into account the optimal ratio of the surface of sherry film to the volume of sherry wine material. Since the unit is in operating mode, it can produce between 100 and 120 dL
of sherry wine material per day.
