Stainless Steel variable-capacity Tanks for fermentation/storage (2008 prices)

Secondhand tanks:-

  Speidel: one 2000/2200 litre, two 1400 litre, one 910 litre, one 580 litre. Prices on request.

New tanks:-

KTM: High quality Italian made variable-capacity tanks, attractive 'marbled' finish':-

      Sonstige Tanks     Always 'full' due to the separate pneumatically sealed inner lid which can be set at any height within the tank. The seal is pumped up with a small hand pump rather like a bicycle-tyre pump.

In standard form they have a 1" BSP female-threaded outlet about 2" up from the bottom, and a second 1" BSP final-drain outlet from a v-channel in the bottom.

In my winery I changed from Speidel tanks to these, I find that the size of the 1000 litre tank is very convenient to work with.

  Options, on the 1000 litre tank:-
    A stainless steel base/stand, £115  (the stands for smaller tanks are a lower price)
    Instead of a separate base/stand - 3 stainless steel legs welded on, now 1910mm high, £167
    Instead of 1" outlet - NW40 outlet from v-channel in the bottom and hole for flap-valve, £39 extra
    Crane for lifting the floating-lid, £87
    Manway door (420mm x 320mm, for red grapes) £395 extra
    NW65 clear or bottom outlet (for pumping mash through) £56 extra (NW65 ball-valve £173 extra)
    Double mantle (for heating/cooling) £395 extra
Note: these tanks have a slightly thinner wall than Speidel tanks, so when a heavy rouser is used through the flap-valve the motor of the rouser needs to be supported.

Also we supply the KTM Red Wine system with larger tanks.
