How to operate Vinoark
FUNCTION & FEATURE
Vinoark is the only machine that can dispense wine into pouches!
*Vinoark can also dispense wine into small bottles.
Vinoark can easily fractionalize a set amount of wine without exposing it to the air.
-
Clean and Secure
All the parts which contact with the wine are compliant with the Food Sanitation Act and can be disassembled and cleaned (heat resistant up to 100°C). This ensures that there is no impact on flavour or color of the wine. Vinoark uses the food-additive quality argon gas to reduce the risk of oxidation of the wine in pouches and small bottles after dispensing.
-
Precise and Automated Operation
Filling volume can be set in 1g increments from 20g to 999g.
Automatic dispensing system ensures precise fractionalization without volume variation. -
Pouches and Small Bottles
