Building a modern winery is more than supplying individual tanks and machines. A successful winery project requires a complete production system in which raw material handling, crushing, fermentation, clarification, filtration, storage, blending, bottling, CIP, utilities, and automation work together efficiently.
TIANTAI Wine Equipment provides complete 2000L Turnkey Winery Project Solution, covering the entire production process from raw grape reception to finished wine packaging. Based on the customer’s production capacity, wine varieties, raw materials, processing technology, and target market, TIANTAI can design and supply an integrated winery system tailored to the project. Our objective is to provide customers with a complete, reliable, hygienic, and easy-to-operate wine production facility.
1. Complete Winery Production Process
A typical winery project can be designed around the following process:
Grape Reception → Sorting → Destemming & Crushing → Grape Processing → Juice/Wine Transfer → Fermentation → Pressing → Clarification → Filtration → Storage → Blending → Cold Stabilization → Final Filtration → Bottling → Labeling & Packaging
Depending on the type of wine, the process can be customized for:
- Red wine
- White wine
- Rosé wine
- Sparkling wine
- Fruit wine
- Organic wine
- Premium and aged wines
Different production technologies can be integrated into the same winery according to the customer’s product portfolio.
2. Raw Grape Reception and Handling
The production process starts with efficient and hygienic grape reception.
TIANTAI can provide a complete grape receiving and processing system including:
- Grape receiving hopper
- Grape sorting table
- Conveyor system
- Destemmer
- Grape crusher
- Grape transfer pump
- Grape maceration equipment
- Juice collection tanks
- Grape processing tanks
The receiving system can be designed according to the expected grape harvest volume and peak-season processing capacity.
For commercial wineries, the system can also be designed to minimize grape damage and oxidation during transportation and processing.
3. Grape Crushing and Destemming
For red and rosé wine production, grapes are normally destemmed and crushed before fermentation.
The equipment configuration can be selected according to the desired wine style.
TIANTAI can integrate: Grape Hopper → Conveyor → Sorting → Destemmer → Crusher → Transfer Pump → Fermentation Tank
Gentle grape handling is particularly important for premium wine production because excessive crushing or mechanical damage can negatively affect wine quality.
4. Fermentation System
Fermentation is the core of the winery process. TIANTAI supplies stainless steel fermentation tanks designed according to the selected wine-making technology.
Typical fermentation tanks can be equipped with:
- Cooling/heating jacket
- Temperature sensors
- Manway
- CIP spray device
- Sampling valve
- Drain outlet
- Product outlet
- Level indication
- Fermentation lock or pressure control system where required
- Automatic temperature control
- Agitation or pump-over connections for red wine production
Red Wine Fermentation
Red wine fermentation generally requires temperature control and efficient contact between the grape skins and juice.
TIANTAI can design tanks suitable for:
- Skin-contact fermentation
- Pump-over
- Punch-down
- Maceration
- Fermentation temperature control
White Wine Fermentation
White wine production normally requires more careful temperature management.
TIANTAI can provide jacketed fermentation tanks capable of maintaining low and stable fermentation temperatures to help preserve wine aroma and flavor.

- Grape pomace handling system
- Juice collection tank
- Wine transfer pump
For premium wine production, the pressing program can be designed to separate free-run wine from press fractions.
6. Clarification and Separation
After fermentation, the young wine normally contains yeast, suspended solids, and other particles.
TIANTAI can design a clarification system based on the required wine quality and production capacity.
Possible equipment includes:
- Clarification tanks
- Settling tanks
- Centrifuge
- Cross-flow filtration system
- Diatomaceous earth filtration
- Cartridge filtration
- Plate-and-frame filtration
- Membrane filtration
The filtration strategy can be customized to achieve the required clarity while minimizing unnecessary loss of wine and preserving product quality.
7. Wine Storage and Aging
After clarification, wine is transferred into stainless steel storage or aging tanks.
TIANTAI wine tanks can be designed for:
- Short-term storage
- Wine maturation
- Blending
- Cold stabilization
- Finished wine storage
- Typical configurations include:
- Stainless steel wine storage tanks
- Jacketed wine tanks
- Insulated tanks
- Horizontal or vertical aging tanks
- Oak barrel systems
- Micro-oxygenation systems where required
Tank volume and quantity are calculated according to annual production, fermentation cycle, aging period, and packaging schedule.
8. Cold Stabilization
For many white and rosé wines, cold stabilization is used to reduce the risk of tartrate crystals forming in the finished product.
TIANTAI can provide:
Jacketed cold stabilization tanks
Glycol cooling system
Chilled water system
Temperature control system
Insulation
Product circulation system
The cooling system can be designed together with the winery tanks to ensure sufficient cooling capacity during peak production.

TIANTAI can provide:
Blending tanks
Mixing systems
Additive dosing systems
Sugar or concentrate dosing systems where applicable
Pumping systems
Inline filtration
Sampling systems
The blending system can be integrated with the winery’s control system for accurate and repeatable production.
10. Final Filtration
Before bottling, the wine normally passes through a final filtration system. Depending on the product requirements, TIANTAI can configure:
Coarse Filtration → Fine Filtration → Sterile/Membrane Filtration → Bottling
Possible equipment includes:
Cartridge filter
Membrane filter
Plate filter
Cross-flow filter
Sterile filtration system
Filter housing
Product transfer pump
The filtration configuration is selected according to wine type, production capacity, desired clarity, microbiological requirements, and packaging method.
11. Wine Bottling and Packaging
TIANTAI can provide a complete wine filling and packaging line. A typical line may include:
Bottle Rinser → Wine Filler → Corking/Screw Capping → Capsule Application → Labeling → Date Coding → Inspection → Cartoning → Case Packing
Depending on the customer’s requirements, the filling system can be designed for:
Glass bottles
Bag-in-box
