Standard Cliqueur
Presentation
- Ceramic oxygen diffuser on stainless steel support to be inserted directly through plug hole or cap of vat
- Flexible polyurethane transfer tube to reach containers with ease.
- Timed valve in plastic case supplied by electric cord
Advantage
- Easiest means to supply oxygen to fermentation yeasts (less risk of overflow than pumping with aeration method).
- Complement to Micro-oxygenation wich can be used in tanks or barrels (modifies the wine's reducing power linked to controlled oxydation)
- Usefull tool for lees management in barrels. Saves labour and decreases wine losses.
- Carbon dioxide injection for recarbonation.
- Nitrogen injection for carbon dioxide reduction
About Cliqueur Standard
- General use for vats / barrels
- Suitable for small and middle-sized wineries
- The concepts of racking and oxygenation are differentiated
- For vats and barrels, suplies a large amount of oxygen in a few moments (rather like pumping with aeration method)
- The timer helps ensure accuracy and avoid errors
- Precise flow-rate
- Just enough oxygen at just the right time
Tecnical Characteristics
- Diffuser dimensions :H : 15.5 cm Ø 3,5 cm
- Diffuser : technical ceramic with stainless steel support
- Electrical power supply : 220 V - 50 Hz or 110 V - 60 Hz or 24 V (please indicate)
- Distance from oxygen cylinder to vat or barrel : 0 to 100 m
- Transfer tube : polyurethane tube Ø 4 x 6 mm (25 m supplied)
- Accessories : Ceramic maintenance kit (washer), various connections, user manual
- Vat - barrel adaptation : none
Accessories
- Oxygen relief valve 0-16 bar (one regulator per winery is necessary; it is not included in the price of the cliqueur)
- Plug with overflow system (no relief necessary in barrels)
- Slider for introduction of cliqueur diffuser through ball valve
- Adapter for use of T diffuser in line (optimized transfer by injecting in line before pump with large pipe length.)
- Mixing/oxygenation rod for barrel lees
- Oxygen meter for better control of dissolved oxygen
Transfert
- Flow controlled according to pressure by calibrated orifice
- In barrels : pressure 1 bar - flow-rate 6 L / min - 30 seconds -> approx. 2 mg / L at 15°C
- In Vat : pressure 3 bar - flow-rate 15 L / min - 1 min for 30 hl -> approx. 2 mg / L at 15 °C
