More than 40 years manufacturing custom machinery for the wine industry. Increase the productivity of your winery with reliable systems, without unnecessary costs or complex processes.
Each of these solutions can be customized according to the type of installation, production volume, and current health regulations.
Our systems guarantee complete and uniform cleaning in barrels, tanks, and containers, optimizing each cycle and reducing the risk of contamination.
Less time per cycle, more volume cleaned per day.
Solutions tailored to your production size: low water consumption, minimal energy, and simple operations.
Reduce costs without losing hygienic quality or traceability.
Made of AISI 304/316 stainless steel, designed to endure years of intensive work in humid environments, with chemicals and thermal changes.
No unexpected downtime, no complex maintenance.
Intuitive design, without the need for advanced technical training. Equipment designed to quickly integrate into your workflow.
Ready to use from day one.
Meet the demands of the food and winemaking sectors (HACCP, CE regulations), allowing for validated, safe, and residue-free cleaning.
Prepare your winery for inspections without worries.
Our cleaning equipment is present in more than 350 installations in the wine sector across Spain and Europe, from rural cooperatives to large aging wineries.
In industrial wineries managing hundreds or thousands of barrels a year, our barrel washers and support systems significantly reduce downtime, optimizing operational efficiency without compromising the internal hygiene of the container.
Specifically designed to adapt to winemaking cycles where cleaning between filling is critical to preserve wine quality. Compatible with wet and dry washing processes, hot water, steam, or ozone, according to regulations.
For wineries that blend batches, fine-tune, or rotate barrels among varieties or vintages, effective and safe cleaning is essential to avoid cross-contamination. Our systems provide that safety with minimal operational effort.
In environments where multiple partners share infrastructure, our manual and semi-automatic equipment ensures easy, robust, and low-maintenance operation, regardless of who operates the machinery.
Also suitable for wineries with tanks, GRG, large-volume vats, or barrels, where internal cleaning is required without disassembly and with high precision. We offer solutions adapted to non-standard containers.

Since 1981, at EKINSA we design and manufacture cleaning machinery for the industrial sector, with a notable specialization in wineries, cooperatives, and agri-food companies.
EKINSA manufactures manual, semi-automatic, automatic and double barrel washers, as well as large cask washers, steam generators and ozone generators. These solutions are designed for large-scale production, barrel ageing cellars, wine cooperatives and wineries that reuse barrels or work with partially filled barrels.
Yes. The equipment provides a deep cleaning process that removes all residues accumulated inside the barrel, allowing it to be safely reused in wineries working with partially filled barrels or across different vintages without affecting the wine’s sensory profile.
Operational savings are immediate. Cleaning cycles are faster and require fewer resources than manual cleaning, increasing winery productivity while reducing unnecessary costs and simplifying operations.
Yes. The equipment is designed to be operated by any member of staff without the need for extensive training and complies with current food hygiene and safety regulations. Each solution can be customised according to the type of installation, production capacity and applicable regulatory requirements.
Yes. EKINSA is a Spanish manufacturer that provides direct technical support. With more than 40 years of experience designing and manufacturing customised equipment for the wine industry, its machinery is backed by certifications that guarantee quality and reliability.
