Customers must supply the following:

- A cylinder (frame) of CO2 or N2, depending on the use.

- A regulator for the CO2 or N2

Always use CO2, in its gaseous phase (from the top) and have an electric re-heater on hand.

Gas tank connectors vary from country to country

Reminders and Warnings

Given that this machine uses CO2, we recommend that you be aware of all of the necessary precautions that

should be taken when using this (asphyxiating) gas:

1. Check the entire high-pressure network, avoid bends.

2. Connect re-heater before the regulator

3. Make sure all connections are tight

4. Be aware of all emergency exits in case of significant leakage from the tank

5. Work in a properly ventilated area

6. It is better to install frames and cylinders outside to limit possible damage inside

N.B. THIS PRODUCT IS ONLY TO BE USED FOR THE PURPOSES DESCRIBED IN THIS USER’S GUIDE

RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES

CARBONICATION (adding CO2)

✓ At atmospheric pressure: Add approx. 100° of mg/l of CO2 Temp: 10- 22°C.

✓ At atmospheric pressure: To saturate a wine with CO2 (>2 g/l) Temp: < 10°C

✓ Under pressure, the solubility depends on CO2 pressure in the tank.

DECARBONICATION (withdrawing CO2)> 14 °C

DEOXYGENATION (withdrawing O2)> 12 °C

Check the canister model and type of attachment in your country

Standard attachment types used in France for different gas

FOR CO2Never use the canister when making dry ice with the discharge horn

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

The EVO1000 has won 2 awards for innovation: At Vinitech in Bordeaux in 2012 and at SIMEI in Milan in

2013.

It allows winemakers to adjust dissolved (O2 et CO2) gasses in-line or closed circuit by injecting them directly

into musts and wines. This can be done with:

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to:

- Carbonate at atmospheric pressure [CO2] ≈ 1.2 g/l

- Saturate at atmospheric pressure [CO2] ≈ 2 g/l

- Gasify up to 5 bars of pressure.

- De-oxygenate wines that are saturated in CO2

Nitrogen (N2) to:

- De-carbonate wines (ex: for Bag In Box)

- De-oxygenate to avoid oxidation and combining free SO

2

.

These adjustments are carried out dynamically in-line by injecting the gas (CO2 or N2) with a porous stainless
steel sparger. The flow is constantly measured to proportionately adjust the amount of gas and maintain a constant
dosage, no matter how the liquid flows.

The apparatus connects to the main and uses 110 or 220V. It should be supplied with CO2 or food-grade

nitrogen, depending on the application needs.

2. INSTALLATION

A. How to install the EVO 1000:

✓ Assemble the stainless-steel chassis according to the picture.

✓ Attach the dosage box to the frame with the 4 screws at the back of

the cabinet.

✓ Connect the injection hose to the settings. Use the silicone tabs to

protect the tube.

✓ The opening (found on the flow meter side) is to the left of the

apparatus.

✓ Attach the flow meter so the arrow points in the direction of the wine

flow.

✓ Insert the temperature probe in the opening to the right of the flow

meter.

EVO 1000 User’s Manual –Rev 2017 6 / 19

✓ Place the bend and side glass coming after the injection tube.

✓ Use a section of the hose provided to link the OUTPUT to the dosage box at the end of the injection hose.

✓ Connect the plug to the mains.

B. Connecting the EVO1000

Figure 1: Installation Hook up Diagram

✓ Attach the re-heater to the canister (if CO2 cylinder use)

✓ Then connect the regulator to the re-heater. Unscrew the pressure adjustment knob as much as

possible (counter-clockwise).

✓ Use the hose to connect the regulator to the EVO 1000 INPUT.

✓ Avoid bends and protect the high-pressure line.

✓ Connect the re-heater to the splicer and open the canister.

✓ Adjust pressure with the knob (clockwise).

✓ Recommended pressure: 6.5 - 7 bars (P < 8 bars!)

✓ Connect the wine hoses (DN 50) according to the diagram below.

Avoid reductions close to the flow meter.

Make sure you respect the flow meter’s direction of flow!
