Temperature control for the wine industry
Vinireg+ and Oenoreg+ wine production temperature controllers, from West Control Solutions, are easy to install and use with just four buttons for heating or cooling control selection, plus up and down temperature adjustment.
Vinireg+ has a single valve control output for systems with a unified hot/cold water circuit while Oenoreg+ has an extra control output for managing separate hot and cold water circulation. Both are compatible with most types of thermocouples, as well as two-, three- or four-wire PT100 temperature probes.
Unlike a generic programmable logic controller, the controllers are pre-configured for controlling the wine production process and require only the simple adjustment of temperature targets or limits. The user can change the settings as needed, via the four-button interface.
The IP65 rated front panel means the controllers are equally at home whether positioned as an enclosed standalone unit close to the tank or built into a larger control panel. They are also modular and expandable, including support for Modbus, to facilitate remote monitoring of one or a small number of tanks or connecting multiple controllers to manage the processes in a large number of tanks.
