Next week, from November 12 to 15, Milan will become the center of the global wine industry with the SIMEI exhibition (International Exhibition and Bottle Equipment) in Vieira Milan Row. This is the thirtieth edition of this prominent international event that focused on the wine industry and packing technology. In anticipation of the exhibition, the winners of the “Lucio Mastroberardo” innovation challenge were announced, celebrating the advanced technological progress through the supply chain of wine and beverages.
The sector, which is worth about 2.5 billion euros in exports and is characterized by a trade surplus exceeding 2.1 billion euros, continues to prosper with a focus on improving resources and efficiency of the process. This year's edition of Simei shows innovations aimed at achieving a balance between efficiency and environmental sustainability. Industry efforts are pushed by researching new materials and integrating artificial intelligence, in response to advanced market requirements and a stronger commitment to environmentally friendly practices.
The category of technological innovation prize highlights developments that embody advanced progress in this industry. Among the winners of Bosher Vaslelene for X-Treme 3 in 1, is an environmentally friendly candidate for wine and lees. The active flow of enomeccanica bosio, an automatic system for liquidation of high concentration fluids, is also. GAMBA has developed La SEMPLICE, a mobile unit for cleaning the interior designs of the tanks, while the PARSEC from EVO2-Ferm improves nutrient management during fermentation. PULOO for Prexa Infinity, which is a nitrogen production printing press for treatment under an inactive atmosphere. Other honorees include PE Labellers for Telescope, AI's data processing system for signs, omnia technologies for HMI I-ETT, a human interface for the machine that enhances operational efficiency.
The Green Innovation Award celebrates projects that enhance environmental responsibility, especially in packaging and closure. Stelvin® Goner's Awards have received a more green, recycled aluminum cover, and plastic -free closure consisting primarily of aluminum and paper. CREALIS is honored for manufacturing, a capsule that is mostly made of paper and aluminum, completely free of plastic. Vinventes' Nomacork Ocean, made of recycled ocean plastic, also received recognition. Additional technologies worth noting include a gas recycling system from bertolaso and omnia technologies, which restore technical gases while filling bottles, and low -free emissions trailers, a vapor generator that reduces energy consumption.
The new technology category is characterized by leading solutions. Cork Supply's X100 is used to measure the transfer of oxygen in the cork. DEFRANCESCHI presented the Parik bottoms, and the rules of ceramic barrel that use induction heat to prevent flavors from unacceptable bottoms. Foss ITALIA's WINESCAN ™ 3 SO2 is a multi -parameter fast -parameter analysis platform. Machines Gai, designed for liquid foods such as wine and spiritual drinks, also won awards. HTS Enologia has developed AVAFerm® Spark to manage fermentation and oxygen supply, while JU.CLA.S. Aromaloc®, a system to reduce the loss of aromatic vehicles. Perbeare's Libero Beverge and Libero Wine Dishipsfores are used to reduce alcohol, while the HELI-X® pump for the Heli-X® maintains. Siprem International was given to Alcryo Vortex 10, a continuous grape cooling system. Vinventes WQs Nomasense O2, which is the connected oxygen management system for the wine industry, and Win & Tech's Win & Fit, is an automatic tool for measuring wine liquidation.
The SIMEI 2024 opening ceremony will be held on November 12 at 11:30 am in the Pavilion 2 conference hall, where the prizes will be presented. The event is to be an essential presentation of how to form new technologies for a more efficient and sustainable future for the wine industry.
