SAMPLING VALVE FOR NEW TANKS
Samples 4 times more reliable
Whether for sensory, chemical or microbiological analysis, the HECLIPSE sampling valve delivers reliable samples in a very short time. Its innovative technology reduces the areas to be cleaned while keeping them accessible. The results are conclusive: they are highlighted in the study carried out by the ISVV (Institute of Vine and Wine Science) and presented in the Cahiers Techniques of the Revue Française d’Oenologie no. 305 (May/June 2021).

Guaranteed flow, even during winemaking
A sampling valve that clogs during winemaking means a significant and unpredictable loss of time in an intense period of work. HECLIPSE technology ensures you can draw your samples even in the most difficult conditions.
The HECLIPSE guillotine mechanically pushes out any grape skins that could block the valve from the inside.
An ergonomic and secure sampling valve
HECLIPSE features quarter-turn operation for precise and very fast flow control. Its safety washer prevents any accidental opening.

Prevents tank contamination
To prevent tank contamination, food-grade fittings are essential. They are easy to dismantle, and the parts in contact with the wine are smooth and accessible for fast and thorough cleaning. The HECLIPSE sampling valve offers these advantages in three versions: MACON, DIN or CLAMP.

Two other versions are available to fit your new concrete and wooden tanks easily and neatly.
Density and temperature measurement without drawing a sample
With HECLIPSE you can use the PASS-THROUGH TIP, which lets you measure the density and temperature of the wine without drawing a sample.
Measuring density and temperature are routine operations that normally require drawing samples. This wastes time and wine, and risks altering the sample. With the HECLIPSE PASS-THROUGH TIP, you can carry out these measurements directly inside the tank using an electronic density meter (such as the Anton Paar DMA 35 BASIC) and a probe thermometer.
The TIP fits onto a HECLIPSE sampling valve. The valve can then be opened to insert any 4 mm diameter rod without any wine leaving the tank.
