Speidel Wine Tanks - German Quality You Can Count On!
Who buys a stainless steel tank is a professional, no freshman. One of the key requirements of tanks is their longevity. After all, they need to be used for years to come. This is why we from Speidel pay so much attention that our products facilitate day-to-day operations and guarantee permanent satisfaction. Just treat the tanks the right way and they will be companions for life, helping you to save both money and time.
Some advantages of our tanks are visible to the naked eye. Many details though – one of them being how easy to clean they are – can only be discovered and appreciated when you actually work with them. One thing is certain: Speidel tanks are worth every penny!
We would like to introduce you to our line of ultra-high-end stainless tanks built in Germany by Speidel. German engineering and craftsmanship have always been considered among the world’s best and these tanks reflect that tradition. These German masterpieces are well worth the extra money.
For starters, they are backed by an Absolutely Amazing 25 year warranty! While the generous warranty speaks volumes about the quality of these tanks, your first impression (and that of every customer who sees them) will be the glossily polished, marble-pattern finish that is the hallmark of every Speidel tank. German craftsmanship is very obvious in all construction aspects. The flawless, machine-made, continuous TIG welds are smooth and have no open pockets that could harbor bacteria. The smooth, bright interior (2R) is easy-to-clean and resists tartar build-up. All manways are seamlessly molded into the tank instead of being welded on. The conical tank bottoms come with moulded-in drains that allow for complete drainage. The thickness of the stainless steel used in constructing these tanks ranges from 1.0 – 2.2 mm. These are definitely the tanks of choice for our own winemaking.

MASH TANKS
Get the latests and most sophisticated technology! Our red wine mash tanks are the successful combination of perfect tanks and intelligent technology! The controllable immersion and interval times of our red wine mash plunger make the production of individual and sophisticated red wines more exciting than ever.
Red wine mash tank / variable capacity storage tank FO-M
1.100 - 15.200 l
Two tanks in one
Speidel's FO-M tank is actually two tanks in one. Basically it is a typical variable capacity storage tank, but since it is equipped with long legs, crane and mash door the FO-M is attractive both from an economic and a practical point of view. It can, indeed, be used as mash tank or variable capacity storage tank.
If combined with a mobile plunger, the FO-M offers even another application. When you discover its flexibility, you won't look back.
Mobile plunger
You bet this one works!
The mobile plunger complements the red wine mash tank FO-M perfectly. Some of our customers have several FO-Ms and one mobile plunger that can be used for all of them.
The mobile plunger is equipped with a floating lid for reliable sealing and with the well-tried Speidel immersion system for the gentle mash processing in flexible use.
It can be moved with a forklift and needs to be fixed with a fastener made of stainless steel.
Regulation is carried out either by means of a time- / interval control system or by means of a manual on / off system.
Red wine tank with mash plunger FD-MT
TK/TS: 5.300 - 29.400 l // AK/AS 6.300 - 27.500 l
Quality is what we are all about!
The immersion of the marc executed by Speidel’s red wine mash plunger has been inspired by the typical manual pushing that is still practised today. Due to the low mechanic pressure the grapes are almost undamaged. This way – and despite the greatest possible extraction of the mash – a low sludge content is achieved.
A reinforced pneumatic cylinder moves the immersion unit up and down. At the moment of the immersion, namely when 'impacting' the marc, two cone-shaped folding wings facing each other put themselves in a flat position and immerse the grapes into the juice.
When moved upwards the folding wings adopt an inclined position and generate a twisting effect of approx. 30 °. This is repeated until the entire marc is fully disintegrated, immersed and drenched with the must.
The immersion and interval times can be pre-selected at your convenience. This grants the winemaker the opportunity to produce individual and complex red wines. The system itself is simple and highly effective: spacious installations that could cause sedimentary depositions or dirt corners are not required.
Red wine mash tank with internal plunger FD-IT
TK/TS: 6.000 - 24.500 l // AK/AS 7.000 - 24.500 l
The rest is in the tank
The mounting of the pneumatic cylinder on the tank top requires more space. In low-ceilinged cellar rooms this can sometimes pose a problem and often there is no possibility to use such tank systems.
Speidel’s innovative »internal plunger« solves this problem once and for all. Speidel’s well-tried immersion system via pneumatics is an integral part of the tank’s interior, thus allowing to reduce the tank's height considerably. At a comparable total height of the tank systems the reduction of height allows 50 % more capacity.
Due to the new level adjustment of the immersion wings the minimum filling amount can be reduced up to 40 % of mash tank’s nominal volume. This way even smaller amounts can be processed.
Red wine mash flooder FD-MÜ
TK/TS: 3.300 - 29.400 l // AK/AS 6.300 - 27.500 l
Globally successful
Speidel’s FD-MÜ is an upright standing red wine mash fermentation tank with a simple but efficient technology. After the fermentation has started and a marc cake has formed about half of the content is discharged into an interim tank. The marc cake descends to the ground, breaks into pieces and is 'opened' by a system of rods.
Afterwards the juice is pumped in again via a self-rotating sprinkling system and the smashed marc cake is flooded. The pigments are washed out. This procedure is repeated several times. The principle of the 'remontage' or reassembly has been practised successfully all over the world.
Red wine mash pressure flooder FD-DF
TK/TS: 3.300 - 24.500 // AK/AS 6.300 - 24.500 l
For gentle and smooth re-circulation
Speidel’s pressure flooder is a mash fermentation tank for pressureless applications with air impulse blast pipes for a gentle and smooth re-circulation. Over the last years a constant development of quality-improving technologies to obtain a possibly high aroma and lots of colour from the berries has taken place. In the meantime the fundamental understanding of the direct contact of wine with aerial oxygen has been defined in a new way. Once being partly defined as 'the enemy of wine', air can however – at least in certain phases of the fermentation and maturation process – cause positive effects on the wine.
This is why we at Speidel have developed a mash fermentation tank that penetrates and gently mixes the emerging marc by means of air jets that use purified pressurised air during the process of fermentation. This way we combine a gentle type of re-circulation with intensive air contact during the main fermentation phase.
The tanks are equipped with 4 lateral air impulse jets that are safeguarded by non-return valves.
An electronic control system regulates the intervals of the injections. This way injections that mix the marc cake can be released in specific time intervals during the mash fermentation. For approx.
15 seconds jets release air at an air-pressure of 6 to 8 bar. As a result, the CO2 is released from the grapes, thus leading to a regroupment of the mash.
The mash is washed over with the wine and mixed at the same time. The grapes end up in a new position which allows for a better extraction of both colour and aroma. The air released into the tank can escape through valves at the tank’s top. The pressure flooder is an economic option for the gentle mash fermentation of top-quality red wines with intense fruit shades and early mature character. We recommend to additionally equip this system with the flooder option.
Mash storage tank FD-MBT
5.200 - 29.400 l
What is good for you is good for us: only good labour generates good results
Speidel's upright mash storage tank serves for the interim storage of fruit and grape mash in between the delivery and the processing of the mash. In addition, the FD-MBT can also be used as processing tank for the treatment with enzymes of liquid fruit mashes.
The robust stirring device allows for the mash to be constantly moved and homogenised. A stainless steel remover arm with scrapers made of vulkollan ensures the automatic release. This allows the complete release of the material/content.
Red wine mash fermentation tank FD-MK
6.000 - 15.400 l
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.
Red wine mash fermentation tank with oak shell FD-MKEH
3.000 - 11.000 l
Over 100 years of experience in oak barrel production
Since we began making wooden barrels over 100 years ago Speidel’s latest developments have benefited from our multi-generational experience: the FD-MKEH tank unites all the advantages of a Speidel tank with the characteristics of a real oak barrel.
The respiration and perfect temperature equalisation guaranteed by the tank’s wooden shell permits a sensory balancing of the aroma. The connection of oak and stainless steel creates a significant improvement in quality.
The unique groove joint connection of oak and stainless steel guarantees two things: you will obtain better wines and be able to enjoy this Speidel-made 'gem' for many years to come.
The red wine mash fermentation tank with oak shell comes with a mash bottom outlet and a hinged door. The bottom outlet is made of stainless steel and – in contrast to tanks that are entirely made of wood – guarantees easier draining and cleaning.
Red wine mash fermentor SD-MGRL (horizontal)
6.800 - 20.000 l
Maximum performance
The horizontal edition of our red wine mash fermentation tank was especially developed for low-ceilinged cellar rooms. The slow-moving wings gently immerse the marc cake piece by piece. After approx. 5 rotations the cake is fully immersed. By means of a freely programmable regulation the immersion time and pause time can be pre-selected at your convenience. Slightly tilted wings ensure the automatic release of the mash.
By means of an optional double jacket it is possible to either obtain the desired fermentation temperature in a short time or to cool the content in case the temperatures are too high. The horizontal red wine mash fermentation tank allows for the homogeneously stirred mash to be forwarded into the press and released from the press either in a direct way or, more efficiently, with a mash pump via a ball valve NW 125. The entire tank is made of AISI 304.
