This innovative continuous cooling system using a direct exchange with the cryogenic fluid (liquid nitrogen) makes it possible to combine several advantages in the processes currently applicable to crushing and destemming before loading the press. Continuous processing combined with the advantages of the direct exchange with the cryogenic fluid lead in fact to a high cooling speed, lower mechanical stress of the crushed grapes and the active management of the protective atmosphere, all in favour of a potential qualitative improvement of the process.
