What is a floating lid?
A floating lid is a kind of stainless steel lid that is placed directly over the liquid.
Its purpose is to protect liquids, wine, oil, etc., from contact with oxygen that could trigger unwanted oxidation phenomena.
In the case of wine, for example, one oxidation phenomenon is "fioretta," which manifests as a white patina covering the surface of the wine.
How does it work?
The floating lid has a shaped edge to which an inner tube is applied.
The same is connected with a small tube to a pump with a pressure gauge.
Having mounted all the accessories - an inner tube, hose, hose clamps and a vent valve - you rest it on the liquid and start pumping : the inner tube inflates and adheres strongly to the walls of the container, ensuring that oxygen cannot be in contact with the liquid.
