Red wine mash fermentation tank FD-MK

Break the cake

This red wine mash fermentation tank with its cone-shaped shell is based on the classical wooden fermentation rack. This model is primarily used in the red wine growing areas of France and Spain.

Thanks to the cone-shaped version the mash cake easily breaks into pieces upon immersion. The FD-MK is equipped with a mash bottom outlet and a hinged door.
