STABYMATIC

AUTOMATIC CATIONIC EXCHANGE SYSTEM FOR pH LOWERING AND TARTARIC STABILIZATION

Stabymatic is a revolutionary pH lowering and tartaric stabilization system based on the use of pH-Stab 2.0, which reduces the K⁺ and Ca⁺⁺ salts in the wine and makes it stable.

STABILIZATION USING RESINS

Tartaric stabilization using resins is achieved by removing positively charged ions. The liquid passes through the columns containing pH-Stab 2.0, exchanging ions and reducing conductivity with a consequent lowering of the pH. pH-Stab 2.0 retains the cations by exchanging H⁺ ions: regeneration is carried out with Acid+, an activator based on sulphuric acid and special surfactants which returns the resin to its acid form while maintaining the characteristics of the polymer intact.

The system is designed so as not to alter the organoleptic characteristics of the wine. The type of resin used, the liquid flows and the oenological pumps employed guarantee a high-quality product. Tests have shown that there are no SO₂ combinations in the entire process.

BENEFITS

Separated pipe lines for wine and regenerants
Easy resin replacement and column sparger
Possibility of using the same columns for both white and red wines thanks to whitening cycles
Automatic, semi-automatic and manual setting modes
Water saving thanks to the tank of recirculation

OPERATION

Stabymatic can operate in 3 modes:

automatic, working automatically in both exchange and regeneration. The machine alternates between regeneration and exchange cycles until it has reached the defined setting;
semi-automatic, simply by selecting the desired function;
manual, through the selection of the single user on the touch screen.
