Description

Description of the invention

The invention relates to devices for storing and filling liquid products that are subject to spoilage upon contact with air, such as wine, strong alcoholic beverages, beer, etc. The preferred field of use of the invention is trade in bottled wine, beer, etc. in shops, restaurants, bars, etc. or home use.

Prior art

Traditionally, similar products, such as wine and beer, are sold in bottles. However, in many cases, 710 especially when it comes to young grape wine, it is preferable and more original to store and bottle wine from small barrels (with a capacity of up to 200 liters).

When pouring wine from the container, an upper air space is formed, which is undesirable, because it contributes to the oxidation of the wine and the development of pathogenic microorganisms, and during the transportation of the container, the wine shakes, which worsens its quality. A long rest is required to restore the wine's properties. To eliminate these 72 disadvantages, various devices are known for storing and bottling wine, which exclude its contact with air.

A well-known wine storage tank (1) in which the wine is stored under a layer of sealing compound (sulfuric anhydride) that protects the contents from contact with air.

Known device (2) for automatic filling and selection of wine materials and similar products during their storage in tanks, as well as a holding hermetic composition to protect the wine material from contact with air.

These known devices are used in industrial conditions when storing wine, they are quite complex and not suitable for wide use in restaurants, bars, etc. or at home. In addition, modern sanitary requirements and strict standards for the content of impurities do not allow the use of sulfur-containing compositions that come into contact with wine. with

A known device for storing wine |Z), which is an enamel tank in which wine is stored in (39) oxygen-free conditions under a layer of inert gas (nitrogen).

A well-known device for storing and pouring wine, fruit juices, etc. (4), accepted as a prototype, which is a hermetic capacity in the form of a barrel with a drain tap and a vertically located hole in the side surface, in which, with the help of a cork, an expanding element is fixed inside the capacity, folded - an accordion, with the possibility of expansion to about capacity under the influence of atmospheric air. with

In this well-known device, as can be seen from the drawing, the capacity is made of metal, as a result of which the known advantages of storing wine or cognac in oak barrels are not used, in which they are stored M better and acquire additional taste qualities. Gee)

Another disadvantage is the possibility of air entering through the drain valve when pouring wine.

З In addition, the performance of the expanding element, composed of an accordion, requires a significant size of the hole through which it is placed in the barrel.

Disclosure of the invention

The technical problem solved by this invention is the creation of a device for storing and pouring wine in small volumes for use in mass consumption, which ensures the elimination of contact of wine with air Z 740 with maximum preservation of the taste qualities of wine. c The task is achieved by the fact that the device for storing and filling liquid products is

from" a barrel made of oak rivets, in the bottom of which a drain valve with a non-return valve is installed, and in the central part (in the butt) of the side of the barrel, a hole is made, through which, inside the barrel, an element made of food-grade polyethylene, which expands, is fixed, with the possibility of expansion to the volume barrels under the influence of atmospheric air or an external gas source, the width of the rivet of the barrel, in which the hole is made, is at least 1.20, b where O is the diameter of the hole; and the expanding element is made in the form of a pre-rolled roll

Ge | cylindrical package and the length corresponding to the distance between the bottoms of the barrel with a volume 10-1595 greater than the internal volume of the barrel. e The margin of the volume of the package is necessary for the guaranteed expansion of the package to the volume of the barrel, taking into account the formation of folds in it.

The thickness of food-grade polyethylene is at least 8 Ωm, which guarantees the absence of air diffusion through the polyethylene layer.

The best variant of the invention

For the manufacture of wine or cognac barrels, oak rivets are traditionally used - a side piece for the forming barrel and a bottom piece for the bottoms, which are fastened with metal hoops. For the production of barrels of small volume (from 5 to 25 dm), the width of the sides (on the outer circumference in the bundle) is 40-75 mm. The dimensions of the barrel rivets are standardized and must meet certain requirements (see Table 1); 8111111 rips the lotto

The size of the diameter of the hole for placing a plug in it, with the help of which the expanding element is fixed, is selected on the condition that a disposable element folded into a tube and folded in half can pass through it, which expands in half and is at least 40-560 mm in size, which can exceed sidewall rivet width size for small barrels. Therefore, for such barrels, one of the rivets of the sidewall, in which the hole is made, has a width that exceeds the diameter of the hole by 2095.

Barrels are prepared as follows:

First, new barrels are completely filled with cold water, kept for 3-4 days, after which the water is drained.

The procedure continues for 2-3 weeks. Then they are treated with alkali 0.2-0.396 with a solution of Mahon or KOH in cold water with exposure for 5-6 days, followed by washing with hot and cold water. The volume of lye, which is poured into the tank, is 8-1095 of the volume of the barrel.

Immediately before bottling, the wine is steamed with hot steam at a temperature of 1007C for o)

REFERENCE Then the barrels are filled with hot water with a temperature of 70-80" and washed for 30 minutes.

Heavily contaminated barrels, after washing with hot water, are additionally treated with a 1-295 solution of sulfuric acid in hot water for 15-20 minutes, while the volume of the solution should be 5-695 to the volume of the barrel, and then they are treated with 0, 2-0.395 solution of Mahon or KOH in cold water for 2 hours. The volume of lye that is poured is 8-1095 of the volume of the barrel. with

After that, the barrels are washed with cold water until the water pouring out of the barrel becomes colorless and does not have a neutral reaction to litmus. The purity of the barrel is checked in laboratory conditions.

After these operations, the barrels are sent for collection with a drain valve (Fig. 1) and a hermetic bag. co

Insert 3 is inserted into the neck of the package made in the form of a cylindrical sleeve (Fig. 2), which is then inserted into the plug 2, as a result of which the neck of the package turns out to be tightly squeezed between the insert and the plug, thereby ensuring a hermetic connection. After that, the package is rolled into a roll along the forming line (Fig. 3), displacing the air from it. The cork is closed with a technological plug 1 (fig. 2), the rolled package is folded in half and inserted into the barrel (fig. 4). Inside the barrel, the roll is straightened relative to « 0 Bend and is located along the inner surface of the barrel. - c Barrels are rotary containers and are used many times, undergoing the above-described preparation for new filling, and the expanding element and its fastening details are disposable. z Liquid is poured into the barrel in a vertical position through the drain valve, while the valve is screwed loosely to allow air to escape from the barrel until it is completely filled.

When the liquid is poured from the barrel, the roll-up package unfolds, filling the vacated volume.

Ф If the filling is carried out when the barrel is below the level of filling (for example, under the bar counter, counter, etc.), the barrel is placed vertically (Fig. 5), compressed air is fed into the bag through the fitting, because a tube is installed in the barrel for the selection of liquid and the bottom of the barrel. their industrial applicability

The claimed device can be manufactured under conditions of industrial production using i.e.) traditional cooperage production technologies and modern equipment production technologies (drain tap,

And the expanding element and parts for its fastening) made of polymer materials.
