Everyone knows the problem: Once the fermentation process has started, it’s unstoppable. If it then turns out that a small error has crept into the tanks’ cooling system over the year, this can lead to significant damage. Several thousand euros in losses are not uncommon. That’s why you should protect yourself and your investments against damage – through comparatively inexpensive maintenance. Incidentally, as “maintenance professionals”, LiquoSystems’ service technicians also service systems from other manufacturers.
Small defects have the same effect as major faults
When 15, 20, or 30 tanks are networked with one or more cooling systems, there can always be a minor issue. For example, a simple line might be slightly pinched. Or a valve might not close properly anymore. It doesn’t have to be anything major. Small defects can have the same devastating effect. LiquoSystems’ service technicians are often only called when the damage has already occurred. Depending on the size of the tank and the quality of its contents, several thousand euros in costs can arise. In such cases, the frustration is, of course, significant.
Don’t wait until it’s too late!
To prevent this, the principle is: Better to service on time than to wait too long. Preventive maintenance protects against surprises and failures. LiquoSystems’ technicians know the pitfalls and can check the reliability of parts not only visually but also electrically. Are the displayed temperatures even correct? Are the controllers intact? Does the software communicate with the sensors? Does the cooling machine deliver the required performance, or are there performance gaps? Does the network work as it should? Are all system elements truly fail-safe?
Older systems or system components, in particular, require maintenance
The older a system is and the longer its parts have been in operation, the more likely failures are during peak times. This makes preventive maintenance even more crucial. LiquoSystems services some systems that are 20, 25, or 30 years old. The fact that they reach such an age is also thanks to good service. Because every relay in the electrical system and every valve or motorized ball valve only has a certain number of switching cycles. If, precisely during fermentation, a valve no longer closes, this can have extremely detrimental effects. Even older systems must function reliably in autumn.
Take all necessary precautions in good time before the harvest
Energy crisis, heatwave, falling groundwater levels, rising diesel, gas, and oil prices. There are plenty of crises currently. There’s no need for another crisis to arise in the fermentation tanks. Therefore: Take care of the tank cooling system in good time before the harvest, and send parts for repair if necessary. Our spare parts are designed for winery requirements; this is not always guaranteed with alternative suppliers! However, the best case is to have the system professionally serviced, as you yourself have enough other things to do before the harvest.
Inquiring costs nothing!
A non-binding inquiry with LiquoSystems costs nothing and takes no time. You will gladly receive a cost estimate in advance, including travel, hourly rates, and time estimation. You only pay as much as necessary, depending on the size of the system. Additional benefits include: weaknesses can be identified, and performance optimizations can be made. And as mentioned at the outset: This service applies not only to customers of our own systems but also to third-party systems from other manufacturers. Contact us now and benefit after the harvest!
