Wine Industry Applications

Must Clarification, Lees Separation, and Wine Polishing

In winemaking, separation technology plays a critical role in ensuring product stability, fermentation control, and final wine clarity. Efficient removal of solids at early stages improves fermentation behavior, while gentle clarification later in the process preserves aroma, color, and structure.

KES centrifuges are applied throughout the wine production process, from must pre-clarification to lees treatment and final polishing before bottling.

Wine Industry Applications

Typical Application Areas

Must pre-clarification

Decanter centrifuges remove grape solids and pomace prior to fermentation, reducing sediment formation and improving fermentation consistency.

Lees management and wine recovery

During fermentation and maturation, centrifuges recover wine from lees, increasing yield and reducing storage volumes.

Fine clarification before bottling

Disc stack separators polish wine to achieve high clarity with minimal oxygen uptake, supporting stable storage and presentation quality.
