Automated Control of Pasteurization in Wine Production

This paper presents an installation for the process of wine pasteurization as automation object with the corresponding controllable dimensions, control and inference impacts. Designed automated control system is described with three operation modes: loading, washing/preheating and product processing. Detailed algorithm illustration and description is included. The system is implemented using Siemens S7-1200 PLC controller. Finally, research work is conducted for determination of the regulator coefficients needed to maintain the proper state of wine pasteurization.
