An expandable and durable design that ensures a hermetic seal and preserves wine purity
The racking plug with mechanism in stainless steel (INOX), reference JA7990F-314027, is specifically designed to ensure a secure and efficient seal in wine barrels. Made from VMQ40 silicone, it offers high chemical and thermal resistance, as well as ideal properties for contact with food and beverages. This plug features an expandable mechanism in stainless steel, allowing for a stronger and more secure closure, perfectly adapting to barrels with filling openings in lateral or bottom positions.
Advantages of the Racking Plug with mechanism
Among its advantages is its ability to provide a hermetic seal that protects the contents from external contamination and preserves the organoleptic characteristics of the wine, avoiding alterations in flavor and aroma. Its robust design, combined with the durability of the stainless steel expandable mechanism, ensures a long service life even under demanding conditions, offering wineries and winemakers a reliable and high-quality solution for wine preservation. Additionally, it is free from harmful substances such as phthalates, Bisphenol A, haloanisoles, and halophenols, ensuring the purity of the stored wine.
The racking plug with mechanism by Nortap is equipped, as its name suggests, with an innovative expandable mechanism specifically designed to fit barrels with filling openings in lateral or bottom positions. Its main functionality lies in its expansion capability, allowing it to adjust precisely and securely to the different dimensions and shapes of barrel openings, ensuring a perfect seal regardless of orientation. This is particularly useful in wineries where barrels are stored in various positions to optimize space and the aging process of the wine.
INOX Mechanism
The expandable mechanism is made of stainless steel, a material that provides extraordinary corrosion resistance and superior durability under humid or acidic conditions, common in winemaking environments. This design ensures a stronger and more reliable seal, minimizing the risk of leaks or air ingress that could compromise the quality of the wine. Additionally, the use of stainless steel prevents contamination by reactive metals and guarantees content purity, preserving the wine’s organoleptic properties.
This type of plug not only improves functionality and safety in the sealing process but also helps to prolong the service life of barrels by reducing wear on the filling openings, making it an indispensable tool for wineries seeking to optimize both preservation and product quality.
