pumping over
Explanation:
Pumping over and fermentation are not the same thing.
See this site below for a good explanation of the process:
The second is used for larger quantities of wine and is called "pumping over." This process uses a pump attached to the bottom of a tank. The juice is then pumped over the top of the cap and circulated this way for about 15 - 20 minutes. Whether you're punching down or pumping over, you still must do this twice a day (sometimes more!), until fermentation is complete.
