Steam Cleaning of The Bottling Line:
The elevated temperature of the steam allows for a much faster cleaning process of the barrels, melting the tartrates in a fraction of the time than it takes with hot water, all while resulting in massive savings in water consumption. The vapor property of dry steam allows for the pores of the wood to be opened, releasing not only tartrates but also old wine and bitter tannins that have been absorbed inside the wood. The whole process revitalizes the wood barrels while being safe on the char of the oak. |
The use of dry vapor steam machines permits an impressive financial savings on wastewater treatment and chemical use.

Cleaning, detartrating and disinfection of barrels:
|
After decanting, proceed and rinse using a high pressure machine and cold water, duration of steam cycle depending on the age and status of the barrel, proceed again and rinse with cold water.

Sanitizing Tanks and Removing Tartrates
|
Tartrates and other substances commonly cling to the walls of storage tanks, with the simple connection of the Bacchus system to the storage tank the steam melts away all residues and tartrates and the condensation allows for them to drain out the bottom of the tank. A quick rinse with cold water causes a thermo-shock removing any remaining residue from the walls. After only 15 minutes the tank is completely sterilized without the use of caustic or other harsh chemicals, greatly reducing water consumption wastewater treatment. With the Bacchus steam cleaning system there is no need for anyone to enter the tanks anymore, saving precious manpower, time and money |
