Oak barrels are expensive and difficult to maintain. Trust your barrel cleaning and disinfection to the AaquaSteam Portable High Pressure Steam Generator Sanitation/Sterilization System from AaquaTools! It's just what you need for the sanitizing/cleaning cycle of your barrels.

Oak barrel disinfection is a particularly important and challenging part of overall winery sanitation protocols. These barrels are difficult to both clean and disinfect because of the small access point, the porous wood surface and the risk of damaging the oak. If the wood inside the barrel is damaged it can leave wood particulates and make the barrel even more porous and difficult to completely sanitize. Once it becomes impossible to effectively clean and sanitize properly, the barrel must be discarded. This can quickly become prohibitively expensive.

Steam sanitizing oak wine barrels is a non-toxic, cost effective and eco-friendly solution that will ensure that all yeast, bacteria, molds, and other microorganisms are removed while protecting your investment. The AaquaSteam works to penetrate wood and release trapped microorganisms, tartrates, lees, and tannins inside the oak barrel without damaging it.

Steam delivers heat to the inside of a barrel which penetrates into the wood pores. As the inside wood surface heats up, and the steam condenses, it creates a vacuum inside the barrel which draws out the old wine residue, trapped microorganisms, tartrates, lees, and tannins. The barrel is then rinsed in warm water to remove this unwanted material. The steam process can also re-hydrate the barrels.

The AaquaSteam unit is portable so that it can be used in all areas of your winery operation. Use it to clean and sanitize surfaces, tanks, prep areas, wine making equipment, packaging areas, bottling lines, guest areas, and much more. Steam can be applied to hard, waterproof surfaces or any surface that won’t be damaged by water.
