Westec Pumpover Device
Westec’s lightweight pumpover device allows for additional flavor extraction — bringing juice up from the bottom and spreading it over the top to add oxygen and give the juice another flavor pass through the cap.

Micro oxygenation can help improve wines
Controlling the oxygen applied to the wine reduces dependence on barrels for flavor and aging. The use of an OxBox combined with toasted oak allows winemakers to easily integrate this successful method for enhancing wine during fermentation and aging in the controlled environment of a tank. Westec Tank & Equipment offers standard 4 channel, 5 channel and 8 channel units and can custom design units for your needs. We can install them with optional stainless steel mounting brackets at the top of the wine tank, or integrate them with your catwalk.

New! Portable Stackable Wine Tanks
18 August, 2010
Portable Stackable Tanks
Ideal for keeping small batches of wine separate for fermentation or transportation, Westec's round portable tanks are available in 350, 450 and 550 gallon sizes, all with the same diameter and foot print so they stack in a corner when empty to free up floor space in your winery. Because our tanks are round, our cooling jacket encircles the tank for concentric cooling all the way to the core. Our sloping-floor round tanks are easier to drain completely and feature our tight seal manways. Wine Tanks →
