Raw Material Quotation Oenological and Bottling Machinery Production

Wine production, an increasingly technological sector, relies on state-of-the-art machinery to optimise processes and guarantee the quality of the end product: these include bottling machines, pruning machines, mechanical grape harvesters, presses, labelling machines and many others.

The efficiency of this equipment is closely linked to the quality of the materials used:stainless steel, first and foremost, as well as other raw materials such as Aluminium, Copper, Copper alloys, plastic and wood.
FT Mercati offers the raw material quotation service for wineries, enabling them to constantly monitor fluctuations in steel prices and to strategically plan purchases.

Stainless steel: strategic material

Stainless steel, the most widely used material in the production of wine-making and bottling machines, is particularly valued for the following characteristics:

• Strength and durability: stainless steel offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it possible to build robust machines capable of withstanding the stresses typical of the agricultural environment.
• Hygiene: smooth, easily sanitised surfaces to ensure maximum hygiene during winemaking.
• Versatility: thanks to different alloys and heat treatments, steel can be adapted to a multitude of applications, from structural parts to plough blades and engine components.
• Cost-effectiveness: despite being a noble material, stainless steel is widely available and, in the long run, proves to be an economical choice due to its durability and ease of maintenance.
