Description

Cuve de vinification.Vinification tank.

La présente invention est relative aux cuves de vinification. The present invention relates to vinification tanks.

Pour produire du vin, il est classique d'introduire les graines de raisin et éventuellement la grappe dans des cuves dites cuves de vinification et de laisser la fermentation s'effectuer en procédant à des remontages qui consistent à prendre du moûtau bas de la cuve et à l'aide d'une pompe à arroser de moûtle chapeau qui s'est formé à la surface libre du contenu de la cuve. Mais le jus qui est remonté trouve très rapidement des chemins priviligiés et le chapeau n'est pas désagrégé. De plus les levures sont exagérement oxygènées,ce qui a pour effet d'activer la fermentation en produisant une élévation de température à un moment qui n'est pas souhaitable. To produce wine, it is conventional to introduce the grape seeds and possibly the bunch in vats called vinification vats and let the fermentation take place by pumping over which consists of taking must at the bottom of the tank and using a pump to sprinkle with hat juice which has formed on the free surface of the contents of the tank. But the juice that has risen very quickly finds preferred paths and the hat is not broken up. In addition, the yeasts are excessively oxygenated, which has the effect of activating the fermentation by producing a rise in temperature at a time which is undesirable.

Le remontage a remplacé le pigeage traditionnel qui consistait à entrer dans la cuve chaque jour ou deux fois par jour,et en foulant le contenu de la cuve, à le brasser. The reassembly replaced the traditional punching down which consisted in entering the tank every day or twice a day, and while treading the contents of the tank, in brewing it.

On comprend que ce travail pénible ne se pratique plus.We understand that this painful work is no longer practiced.

Récemment on a fait connaître une cuve de vinification comprenant une enveloppe d'axe sensiblement horizon tal. Cette cuve a une entrée en haut pour l'introduction de la vendange et une sortie vers le bas destinée au soutirage du muûtpuis de la phase sèche. Un arbre est disposé le long de l'axe de l'enveloppe et est donc horizontal, encore qu'il puisse avoir de préférence une légère inclinaison vers l'avant, c'est-à-dire en direction de la sortie, de quelques pour cents, par exemple 2 à 3 %. Cet arbre est entraîné par un moteur et est solidaire d'une hélice qui s'étend à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe au voisinage de sa face latérale.Au cours de la vinification, l'oenologue met le moteur en marche et fait ainsi tourner l'hélice,ce qui donne un brassage du contenu de la cuve par les bras qui sont issus de l'arbre et qui portent l'hélice et un déplacement ayant une composante de vitesse parallèle à l'axe,en raison de la présence de l'hélice.  Recently, a vinification tank was made known, comprising an envelope with a substantially horizontal axis. This tank has an inlet at the top for the introduction of the harvest and an outlet at the bottom intended for the withdrawal of the muûtpuis of the dry phase. A tree is arranged along the axis of the envelope and is therefore horizontal, although it may preferably have a slight inclination towards the front, that is to say towards the exit, by a few percent, for example 2 to 3%. This shaft is driven by a motor and is integral with a propeller which extends inside the envelope in the vicinity of its lateral face. During the vinification, the oenologist starts the motor and does so turn the propeller, which gives a mixing of the contents of the tank by the arms which come from the shaft and which carry the propeller and a displacement having a speed component parallel to the axis, due to the presence of the propeller.

Cette cuve est peu encombrante, elle ne tourne pas, elle n'est donc pas dangereuse, elle peut servir de stockage en dehors des périodes de vinification, elle peut fonctionner aussi bien à pleine charge qu à moitié pleine et a une grande capacité de production. Comme elle ne tourne pas elle peut être équipée d'une chemise pour y faire circuler un fluide chaud ou un fluide froid. This tank is not bulky, it does not turn, so it is not dangerous, it can be used for storage outside of the vinification periods, it can work as well at full load as half full and has a large production capacity . As it does not rotate, it can be equipped with a jacket to circulate a hot fluid or a cold fluid.

Mais on a constaté cependant que le produit contenu dans la cuve n'était pas soumis à un traitement homogène. However, it was found however that the product contained in the tank was not subjected to a homogeneous treatment.

Certaines parties du produit, notamment celles se trouvant à l'une des extrémités de la cuve et au voisinage du pourtour de l'enveloppe, restent pratiquement immobiles en raison du fait-que,vers l'extrémité aval de la cuve, le produit subit un retour au voisinage de l'axe et il se crée ainsi un circuit fermé au voisinage de cette extrémité, circuit fermé qui empêche-le produit se trouvant à l'autre extrémité de la cuve d'avancer. Certain parts of the product, in particular those located at one end of the tank and in the vicinity of the periphery of the envelope, remain practically immobile due to the fact that, towards the downstream end of the tank, the product undergoes a return to the vicinity of the axis and a closed circuit is thus created in the vicinity of this end, a closed circuit which prevents the product located at the other end of the tank from advancing.

L'invention pallie cet inconvénient par une cuve de vinification du type indiqué ci-dessus ,caractériséepar une seconde hélice solidaire de l'arbre, avant un pas dans le sens opposé à celui de la première hélice et qui est plus proche de l'axe que la première hélice. The invention overcomes this drawback by a vinification tank of the type indicated above, characterized by a second propeller secured to the shaft, before a step in the direction opposite to that of the first propeller and which is closer to the axis than the first propeller.

Le circuit fermé est ainsi détruit,puisque la seconde hélice reprend le produit dévié vers le centre et le transporte à nouveau à l'autre extrémité au lieu que celuici retombe presque imm-édiatement. The closed circuit is thus destroyed, since the second helix takes up the product deflected towards the center and transports it again to the other end instead of falling almost immediately.

Pour. obtenir le meilleur déplacement possible du produit, il est bon que la seconde hélice ait un pas plus petit que la première. For. to obtain the best possible displacement of the product, it is good that the second propeller has a smaller pitch than the first.

Lorsque l'on vide la cuve, on fait sortir d'abord par la sortie le mottqui représente environ les 2/3 du contenu de la cuve. Ensuite on vide la cuve du chapeau qui en représente 1/3 environ. A cet effet, on met la-première hélice en marche de manière à obtenir un effet de convoyage du chapeau vers la sortie. Mais il est important qu'alors la seconde hélice ne crée pas dans le chapeau un effet de convoyage opposé. C'est pourquoi de préférence, la plus grande distance entre la seconde hélice et l'arbre est inférieure à environ le 1/6-du diamètre de l'enveloppe de sorte que lorsque,l'on vide la cuve de son chapeau, la seconde hélice tourne à vide. When the tank is emptied, the mott, which represents approximately 2/3 of the contents of the tank, is first removed from the outlet. Then we empty the tank of the hat which represents about 1/3. To this end, the first propeller is put into operation so as to obtain a effect of conveying the cap towards the outlet. But it is important that then the second propeller does not create in the cap an opposite conveying effect. This is why, preferably, the greatest distance between the second propeller and the shaft is less than about 1/6-of the diameter of the envelope so that when the tank is emptied of its cap, the second propeller turns empty.

La figure unique du dessin annexé est une vue en coupe illustrant l'invention. The single figure of the accompanying drawing is a sectional view illustrating the invention.

Une cuve horizontale formée d'une enveloppe 1 est portée par des pieds 2. Sur l'axe x, x' de la cuve,incliné de 2 % par rapport à l'horizontal,s'étend un arbre 3 muni de bras 4 qui lui sont perpendiculaires et qui portent une hélice 5 de pas à droite. L'arbre 3 est entraîné par un moto-réducteur 6 disposé à l'extérieur de la cuve. A horizontal tank formed of an envelope 1 is carried by feet 2. On the axis x, x 'of the tank, inclined by 2% relative to the horizontal, extends a shaft 3 provided with arms 4 which are perpendicular to it and which carry a propeller 5 of pitch to the right. The shaft 3 is driven by a geared motor 6 disposed outside the tank.

L'arbre 3 est également solidaire de bras 7 qui portent une seconde hélice 8 de pas à gauche. Le pas de l'hélice 8 est inférieur à celui de l'hélice 5. Alors que l'hélice 5 s'étend au voisinage de la paroi latérale 9 de la cuve l'hélice 8 est à une distance de l'axe x, x' ne représentant au plus que 1/6 du diamètre de l'enveloppe 1.The shaft 3 is also secured to arms 7 which carry a second propeller 8 of left pitch. The pitch of the propeller 8 is less than that of the propeller 5. While the propeller 5 extends in the vicinity of the side wall 9 of the tank, the propeller 8 is at a distance from the axis x, x 'representing at most only 1/6 of the diameter of the envelope 1.

La cuve est munie d'une entrée 10 et d'une sortie 11 avec grille 12. The tank is provided with an inlet 10 and an outlet 11 with grid 12.

La cuve de vinification fonctionne de la manière suivante. On introduit la vendange par l'entrée 10. On brasse la vendange dans la cuve en faisant tourner les hélices 5 et 8. Quand la vinification est terminée, on ouvre la vanne se trouvant sur la sortie 11. Le moût sort par la sortie 11. Le niveau dans la cuve s'abaisse d' envi- ron les 2/3. On relève alors la grille 12 et lion fait tourner à nouveau l'arbre 3. L'hélice 5 entraîne le chapeau vers la sortie 11, alors que l'hélice 8 qui se trouve au dessus du chapeau tourne à vide et n'a pas d'effet perturbateur.  The vinification tank works as follows. We introduce the harvest through the inlet 10. We brew the harvest in the tank by turning the propellers 5 and 8. When the vinification is complete, we open the valve located on the outlet 11. The must comes out through the outlet 11 The level in the tank drops about 2/3. We then raise the grid 12 and lion again rotates the shaft 3. The propeller 5 drives the cap towards the outlet 11, while the propeller 8 which is located above the cap rotates empty and has not disruptive effect.
