SANTA ROSA, Calif., Feb. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- M. A. Silva USA, known for innovation and leading the way in industry standards, announced the launch of Oxi_Out, a device to manage accurate and exact molecular levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide during the winemaking process. The product is manufactured by Agrovin USA Inc. and exclusively distributed by M. A. Silva USA in the North American market.
Oxi_Out selectively removes up to 97% dissolved oxygen while leaving other organic characteristics untouched. It protects bottled wine against premature aging and allows winemakers to bottle wine with lower SO2 levels. The oxygen removal is performed by a nitrogen or carbon dioxide current, by vacuum, or by a combination of both and has a capacity to process up to 13,200 gallons/hour. At the same time of oxygen elimination, Oxi_Out can manage the carbon dioxide content to lift aromatics in white and rose wines or to decrease astringency and bitterness components in reds.
"We are very excited about expanding our services to the wine industry," says Neil Foster, President at M. A. Silva. "With this comprehensive gas management instrument we keep innovating and are able to address the challenges winemakers face when seeking ways to optimize winemaking, bottling and wine preservation.
