VinPilot - intelligent fermentation
Fermentation according to the sugar consumption
Already the possibility of fermenting due to pre-set temperature curves and to record them is an interesting feature. However, every oenologist has always wished to have a fermentation control depending on decreasing density or on the sugar level. During the past years we have developed an easy but accurate principle and combined it with professional software into a system ready for use.
With fermentation according to CO2 the temperature is adjusted automatically in dependence on the fermentation velocity. If the required fermentation rate is not reached, the system gives an
alarm and adequate actions can be taken to prevent a stop of fermentation. This leads to a very gentle fermentation and moreover offers the possibility to ferment also at low temperatures without any risk.

The graph visualizes how the system is adapting the temperature to obtain a constant fermentation rate.
NEw modified measuring principle - VinPilot FERMENTAION CONTROL
In the last years we have been very successful with our measuring system.
But we did not like the fact that the system needed an extra piping and that we were limited with the tank size. Therefore for us was only one possibility: solve the problems.
So we kept on working for an easier installation and handling.
With Marko Hoerner we got a partner in the boat who had already much experience with CO2 controlled fermentation. With his measuring system he won the Intervitis innovation award 2010.
Together we developed a measuring unit which works perfect with our VinPilot hard- and software solution. The new system is very flexible and can be plugged on every tank; no extra installation is necessary and it´s possible to work with nearly all tank sizes.
The following different types are available:
