USED OPEN-TOP FERMENTERS – PROFESSIONALLY REFURBISHED FOR A SECOND GENERATION OF PREMIUM WINES
Our used open-top oak fermenters originate from renowned European wineries and are professionally refurbished to meet the highest technical, hygienic, and aesthetic standards. After being returned from service, each fermenter undergoes a complete restoration by experienced master coopers before re-entering professional wine production.
The result is a premium wooden fermentation vessel that combines the proven quality of traditional cooperage with modern hygiene standards and many more decades of reliable service.
COMPLETE REFURBISHMENT BY EXPERIENCED MASTER COOPERS
Every fermenter is fully dismantled, carefully inspected, and professionally restored. The interior is thoroughly planed to remove wine residues, deposits, and the outer layer of wood, exposing a clean, fresh oak surface that provides ideal conditions for renewed fermentation and premium wine maturation.
The exterior is then completely sanded, restoring the natural beauty of the oak and giving the fermenter a clean, premium appearance. Finally, all hoops are inspected and adjusted before the vessel undergoes a comprehensive quality inspection.
The result is an open-top fermenter in outstanding technical and cosmetic condition, ready for immediate use.
CUSTOM CONFIGURATION FOR YOUR WINERY
To ensure seamless integration into your existing cellar, each refurbished fermenter can be individually configured to match your technical requirements.
Clear and bottom outlet connections can be supplied to suit your preferred system, including DIN, Garolla, Macon, or other connection standards. We configure every fermenter to integrate perfectly with your winery's existing infrastructure.
Depending on the individual vessel, a wide range of additional technical options is also available. Our specialists will be pleased to advise you on the ideal configuration for your cellar.
SUSTAINABILITY MEETS ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY
A professionally refurbished fermenter offers an economical alternative to purchasing a new vessel. Expert restoration preserves the exceptional quality of the solid oak while extending its service life and reducing the environmental impact of new production.
The combination of premium European oak, comprehensive refurbishment, and modern technical specifications makes these fermenters a sustainable investment for wineries seeking long-term value without compromising on quality.
READY FOR IMMEDIATE USE
Before delivery, every fermenter is carefully inspected, pressure-checked where applicable, and prepared for immediate operation. Every stage of the refurbishment process is carried out with exceptional precision to ensure a technically flawless and visually impressive fermentation vessel that meets the demands of modern professional winemaking.
