Wine Fermentation Tank Product Introduction
5000L floating lid wine fermentation tank is a professional winery equipment designed for fermentation, storage, and buffering applications in small and medium wineries.
It is widely used in wine production, cider fermentation, and fruit wine storage systems where oxidation prevention and flexible volume control are required.
The floating lid structure allows adjustable liquid level, ensuring the wine surface remains fully protected from oxygen exposure, reducing oxidation and preserving wine quality.
Constructed from SUS304 or SUS316L stainless steel, it ensures food-grade hygiene, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability.
This tank is especially suitable for wineries with variable batch sizes and partial filling conditions.


Working principle
Step 1: Wine liquid is filled into stainless steel fermentation tank
Step 2: Floating lid is placed on wine surface to reduce air exposure
Step 3: Manual windlass adjusts lid height according to liquid level
Step 4: Air seal system blocks oxygen contact and prevents oxidation
Step 5: Fermentation or storage process continues under controlled environment
Step 6: Slope bottom enables complete discharge after processing
