Wine Flow Meters and Accessories: Measurement and Precision in Transfers

How to choose a wine flow meter

The wine flow meter is used to measure the volume transferred from one container to another during cellar operations. It can be useful for racking, filtration and filling stages, when it is important to accurately control the quantity of liquid being moved.

Before purchasing, it is important to consider flow rate, material, type of measurement, available connections and compatibility with the racking or bottling system in use.

Digital wine flow meters

Digital wine flow meters allow quick reading of the transferred volume and can be useful when you need more precise control over the quantity processed.

Depending on the model, electromagnetic systems, gear systems or functions for partial and total counting may be available. Always check flow rate, working pressure, fittings and compatibility with food-grade liquids.

Flow meter dispensing guns and controlled filling

Filling guns with flow meter or similar accessories can be useful when you want to manage liquid transfer more practically during racking or filling.

Before choosing, check the gun material, fitting diameter, flow rate and compatibility with the hoses or pumps already in use.

Compatibility with pumps, hoses and filters

A flow meter can be installed in a system made up of a pump, hoses, fittings and filters. For this reason, it is important to check diameters, connections, pump flow rate and the characteristics of the liquid to be transferred.

If you use a transfer pump or a plate filter with pump, always check that the selected flow meter is compatible with the flow rate and the type of connection required.

Difference between a flow meter, pump and racking accessories

The flow meter does not transfer wine by itself: it measures the volume of liquid passing through the system. The pump, on the other hand, moves the liquid; hoses, fittings and racking accessories complete the connection between containers.

For a complete system, always consider flow meter, pump, hoses, fittings and compatible accessories together.
