NECK FREEZER

Linear Freezing Baths – Neck Freezing for Disgorging Using the Traditional Method

Sedam Valentin’s Linear Freezing Baths are essential equipment in any disgorging line dedicated to the traditional method. They are used to freeze the necks of champagne, sparkling wine, or crémant bottles in preparation for disgorging—an essential step to remove the sediment formed during secondary fermentation.

How the Neck Freezing Bath Works

The linear bath automatically immerses the neck of each bottle into a refrigerated liquid (typically glycol-based), forming an ice plug that traps the lees. During disgorging, this ice plug is expelled under pressure, ensuring a clean and efficient removal of the sediment. This process perfectly prepares the bottle for the next stage of production.

Key Benefits

• Seamless integration into a disgorging line or champagne bottling line
• Compatible with all types of champagne, crémant, cider, or sparkling wine bottles
• Enhances the speed and consistency of the disgorging process
• User-friendly interface for easy operation
• Simplified maintenance for quick and cost-effective servicing
• Designed for the demanding environments of champagne production facilities

Complementary Applications

Linear freezing baths can be paired with other equipment such as the disgorging and dosing machine, corking and wiring machine, and agitator, forming a complete and high-performance production line that meets the standards of the traditional method.
