Abstract

See full text

A method for continuously separating tartar from wine or grape juice using a draft tube baffled (DTB) crystallizer 2 and a hydrocyclone 3. The DTB crystallizer 2 comprises a vessel 5, a draft tube 6 centered in the body 5, a stirrer and a cooling jacket 16, said stirrer producing a circulation of liquid along the draft tube. A liquid of wine or grape juice is continuously introduced from the bottom of the crystallizer 2 into the crystallizer 2 and entrained in the circulation together with seed crystals at a low temperature to crystallize tartar dissolved in the source liquid. Supernatant source liquid is overflown from the crystallizer 2 and separated by the hydrocyclone 3 into a chemically-stabilized product and a suspension in which a large amount of tartar crystals is contained. The suspension is continuously returned to the crystallizer 2 to keep seed crystals at a desired concentration in the crystallizer 2.
