This lid is very practical and easy to use.

This lid is easy to use and provides very good thermal insulation.

This lid is made out of 12 mm tempered glass, which gives good thermal insulation and is very hygienic.

In Georgia the glass lid has been the favourite method for closing the qvevri for a long time.

After fermentation and racking this shovel makes it easy to take out the remains. To use with the tilting system.

The advantage of the sunken lid is that the amphora can be filled completely and closed airtight easily with almost no risk of leakage.

This system can be connected to a temperature control system.

You can taste easily without opening the lid.

The tap connection has a standard size of DN40 (1 ½ inch) but this can be adjusted on request.

We can provide also several types of taps on request.

The tilting rack can be used for multiple purposes:

After fermentation and racking, tilting the amphora makes it easier to take out the pomace.
Cleaning the bottom part with a high pressure cleaner is easier in horizontal position.
The last liquid left after cleaning or pumping can be poured out easily
The amphora can be tilted upside down for draining and drying easily
