Printer Friendly PDF
The new Devitt Wine Systems Auto-Topper allows the filling or topping of wine barrels to be done without the chance of over-flow spilling or the extra time spent by constant staff attention. The basic system consists of a unique, non-contaminating optical liquid level sensor that is easily inserted into the barrel bung opening while filling. Once full, the sensor automatically shuts off remote pumps and valves using a secure wireless RF remote control system.

The entire system is for sale below, or you can buy parts of the Auto-Topper to go along with your current pump set up in your winery.
