Roto Fermenters

The roto fermenter is a fully automated red fermenter that is best suited for the winemaker seeking to get optimum fermentation and extraction of color from red grapes (particularly through hot maceration). This tank can also be used for the cryomaceration of white grapes, the carbonic maceration of whole or crushed grapes and finally as a de-juicing tank. Our roto wine fermenters are available in sizes ranging from 1,320 gallons (50 HL) up to 15,800 gallons (600 HL).
