The insulated VIBO B stainless steel tanks are modern products manufactured from food-grade AISI 304 stainless steel, alloy with chemical formula BA X5NiCr 18/10, meaning without ferritic content, featuring a conical bottom and insulated jacket inside which cooling coils can be installed. These coils enable thermal transfer generated by the refrigeration unit. They are recommended when vinification cannot be carried out in temperature-controlled rooms or for tartaric stabilization prior to bottling.
Insulation is made of polyurethane, available in thicknesses ranging from 60 to 120 mm depending on tank capacity.
These tanks are equipped with a top hatch (lid) for filling operations and with an insulated inspection door and insulated counter-door made of stainless steel at the lower section, generally oval or rectangular in shape, facilitating access to the interior for cleaning and maintenance operations.
They are also equipped with a range of accessories supplied together with the tank upon purchase, as described in the table below:
