EchoTube

These tubes meet the highest standards of quality and are mainly used to improve food processing operations, such as reducing processing time, increasing yields, improving product quality and allow for more cost- and time-saving, economical processing. Our primary fields of application are related to wine and olive oil processing.

Here are some examples of its applications:

Wine Processing

Extraction Enhancement: Ultrasonic waves can enhance the extraction of phenolic compounds, aromas, and flavors from grapes. This technique allows for a more efficient and quicker extraction, potentially leading to a more complex and desirable flavor profile in wines.
Aging Acceleration: Ultrasonication can be used to accelerate the aging process of wine. The technology induces chemical reactions similar to those that occur during traditional aging but in a much shorter time frame. This is beneficial for wineries looking to reduce maturation time.
Clarification and Stabilization: Ultrasonic waves can assist in the clarification of wine by breaking down larger particles, making them easier to filter out. It can also help in stabilizing wine by reducing the presence of unwanted compounds that could affect the wine's stability over time.
Microbial Control: Ultrasonics can be used to reduce microbial populations in wine, serving as a non-thermal alternative to pasteurization. This helps maintain the wine's quality and extend its shelf life without affecting its sensory properties.

Olive Oil Processing

Increased Extraction Efficiency: In olive oil production, ultrasonic waves can break down cell walls in olives, leading to a higher yield of oil. This method can extract more oil from the same amount of olives, increasing overall efficiency.
Quality Improvement: Ultrasonic treatment can improve the quality of olive oil by preserving important phenolic compounds and antioxidants, which are beneficial for health and contribute to the oil's taste and shelf life.
Reducing Processing Time: The use of ultrasonics can significantly reduce the time required for oil extraction, making the production process more efficient and cost-effective.
Waste Reduction: Ultrasonic technology can help in extracting oil from olive mill waste, which is usually discarded. This not only increases overall yield but also contributes to a more sustainable production process.
