Winery Sanitation and Cleaning Procedures

The integrity of your wine heavily depends on the cleanliness of your winery cellar. A clean environment is vital to prevent the unwanted growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold that could detrimentally influence the wine’s taste and quality. In the world of wine, sanitation is indeed next to godliness.

However, winery sanitation and cleaning procedures aren’t just about scrubbing floors and washing barrels. You also need to maintain the air quality to ensure a pristine cellar. The air you breathe within your cellar is just as crucial as the sanitation procedures applied to equipment. This is where AirROS, an innovative surface and air purification system, sets itself apart from conventional cleaning and sanitation methods. Here are 5 tips to help you with Winery Sanitation and Cleaning Procedures

Tip 1: Regularly Clean and Sanitize All Equipment

From fermenters to bottling equipment, all should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each use. Regular cleaning removes any residual wine that can harbor unwanted microorganisms, and sanitizing afterward ensures that all potential contaminants are eradicated.

Tip 2: Maintain Ideal Cellar Conditions

Keep your cellar’s temperature and humidity in check. A temperature of around 55-58°F and humidity at 50%-60% is often recommended. High humidity can promote the growth of mold, which can adversely affect air and surface quality.

Tip 3: Prioritize Air Quality with AirROS

Here’s where the revolutionary product, AirROS, comes into the picture. Unlike other air purifiers, AirROS works in a two-phase process to ensure optimum air and surface quality.

In the primary air cleaning phase, the system uses non-thermal plasma to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that destroy bacteria, molds, viruses, and other pathogens. During the secondary surface and air cleaning phase, the sanitized air, containing longer-lived ROS (H2O2 and O3), is diffused into the environment, further purifying room air and surfaces.

Tip 4: Use AirROS Control System to Monitor Sanitation Levels

With AirROS, you’re getting an air purifier and a comprehensive control system that monitors your cellar’s sanitation levels. This feature is critical to dynamically control and respond to changes based on your winery’s activity and bio load.

Tip 5: Continuous Staff Training and Education

Proper winery sanitation is not a one-person job; it requires the commitment of everyone involved in the winemaking process. Ensure your staff are trained on the importance of cleanliness and understand the standard cleaning procedures. Make them aware of their role in maintaining the sanitation of your cellar and the quality of the wine. Also, ensure they understand how to properly use and monitor the AirROS system for optimum air and surface sanitation. Continuing education and regular training will help ensure everyone is on the same page regarding sanitation. By working together, you can maintain a clean, hygienic environment conducive to producing the best wines.

Ensuring a clean and sanitized winery cellar environment is paramount to producing high-quality wines. Each step, from cleaning your equipment and monitoring cellar conditions to implementing state-of-the-art air and surface sanitation systems like AirROS, plays a vital role in preserving the integrity of your products.
