21 APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BARREL TOASTING US12301234 2007-05-17 US20090188588A1 2009-07-30 John Whiting; Graham Peacock; Breck Waterman; Alan Conigrave
The present invention discloses an apparatus and method of barrel toasting. In particular, an apparatus and method for consistently toasting the inside surface of a barrel, generally a barrel made of oak. Barrel toasting has traditionally been carried out on a barrel by barrel basis, by the cooper, according to wine or spirit-makers' specifications. The cooper draws upon his/her experience in order to determine the length of time and intensity of heat the barrel should be subjected to, so that the barrel is subjected to a reasonably consistent light, medium, medium plus or heavy toast. The present invention attempts to provide an apparatus and method for repeatability and uniformity in barrel toasting by monitoring the temperatures of the barrel being toasted and comparing these against a predetermined optimum range.
22 Process and apparatus for inner wall toasting of casks for wine guard by hot air convection US10674584 2003-09-29 US20040191383A1 2004-09-30 Alejandro Fantoni Salas; Adolfo Fernandez Mesa
A process and apparatus for inner wall toasting of casks for wine guard by hot air convection, with controlled temperature which allows setting desired cask heating time and temperature. The process comprises: (a) connecting the inside of the cask to mechanical elements to form a hermetic toasting chamber wherein no aromatic compounds are liberated to the outside; (b) circulating an air stream within said chamber; (c) directly or indirectly heating said air stream to a temperature varying from 140null C. to about 230null C.; (d) directing said air stream to the inner cask walls; (e) capturing said air stream at the cask outlet; (f) directly or indirectly reheating said captured air stream to a temperature between 140null C. to about 230null C.; (g) recycling said reheated air stream to the inner cask walls; and (h) maintaining stage (g) for a required time to achieve the desired temperature and/or toasting.
23 Wine barrel reconditioning method and apparatus US342377 1994-11-18 US5630265A 1997-05-20 Christopher S. Stone
A method and apparatus for reconditioning wood wine barrels. An open wine barrel is placed on a barrel rotator stand and positioned into a planer-cutter apparatus. Cutting parameters are set, and a horizontal screw advances the cutter into the barrel, cutting a swath the length of the barrel stave. The cutting process is repeated through the number of passes required. The barrel is dried, placed on a toasting rotator stand, and positioned under a toaster so that the toaster elements are inside the barrel. An expansion mechanism places the toaster elements adjacent the barrel interior surface, and the barrel ends are closed. After toasting, the expansion assembly is retracted and the barrel is removed. The barrel heads are run through a planer, dried, and sanded, and placed in a head toaster. The head toaster doors swing closed placing the heads adjacent oscillating firebars.
24 Barrel shaver US97473 1987-09-16 US4827994A 1989-05-09 Darryl R. Whitford
A wooden wine barrel has one end removed, and is supported by and rotated by power driven support wheels. A router type cutter head extends into the barrel on an inner end of an arm which is pivoted at its outer end so that the cutter head can follow the contour of the barrel, and means to move the barrel longitudinally with respect to the arm (or vice versa) to effect relative longitudinal movement between the arm and barrel.
