- The 230 gallon apollo egg Flextank® is engineered for superior fermentation and maturation. Its unique egg-shaped design promotes natural convection mixing and cap concentration, which enhances extraction and flavor development during fermentation. Once fermentation is complete, this tank doubles as a long-term storage vessel, offering flexibility for wineries. Made from food-grade polyethylene, the apollo egg tank provides precise oxygen control for consistent aging results. Unlike oak barrels, which vary in grain tightness and permeability, Flextank® ensures uniform oxygen transfer, reducing the risk of oxidation and contamination. Forklift compatibility makes handling and transport simple, while its recyclable construction supports sustainable winemaking practices.
Key benefits:- Egg shape promotes natural mixing and cap concentration for better fermentation
- 22" Dexter opening for easy cleaning and adjunct use
- Predictable oxygen transfer for consistent wine quality
- Long-lasting polyethylene construction with sustainability benefits

Polyethylene (PE) is the most commonly produced and used plastic polymer in the world. PE has good chemical resistance and is typically translucent and waxy in nature. We have various products made of polyethylene, from buttress screw caps with Flexspout to spill decks. PE bottles have a maximum hot fill temperature of 120°F.Disclaimer:
