Abstract

The method involves cleaning inner walls of a barrel, by machining or smoothening of barrel surface, which removes sediment deposits. Grooving is made in the inner surface of the barrel, which increases the surface area in contact with wine. The pattern of the grooving is triangular, trapezoidal or sinusoidal. A milling cutter is mounted in the head of a milling machine, which makes proper grooving of the entire surface of the barrel. An independent claim is also included for a wine barrel.

Description

Proceso para mejorar las cualidades de los toneles para vino y producto obtenido.Process to improve the qualities of barrels for wine and product obtained.

Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

La presente invención, según lo expresa el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un proceso para mejorar las cualidades de los toneles para vino y producto obtenido, aportando notables características ventajosas en este sector de la técnica, pues ofrece al enólogo un abanico amplio de posibilidades en el tratamiento del caldo.The present invention, as expressed by the set forth in this specification, refers to a process for  improve the qualities of wine and product barrels obtained, providing notable advantageous features in this technical sector, because it offers the winemaker a wide range of possibilities in the treatment of the broth.

Es un objeto de la invención ofrecer un proceso por el cual, partiendo de toneles usados o sin usar, se mejoran notablemente las cualidades del tonel, situándolas muy por encima de las previstas originalmente.It is an object of the invention to offer a process whereby, based on used or unused barrels, they are improved notably the qualities of the barrel, placing them well above of those originally planned.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Actualmente los toneles para vino (normalmente de roble) constituyen un elemento importantísimo en el proceso de obtención de un buen vino. Sus paredes interiores están en contacto con el vino, siendo esto un aspecto clave a la hora de elaborar los caldos. Hasta ahora son lisas estas superficies y cuando sobre ellas se depositan sedimentos propios del proceso enológico, son sometidas a un tratamiento de limpieza. En este sentido, tal y como lo contempla la Patente de Invención n° P-200200554, se prevé efectuar un sistema de limpieza mecánica del interior del tonel, con la intención de devolver a éste sus cualidades iniciales y dejarlo listo para su reutilización.Currently the wine barrels (normally of oak) are an important element in the process of Obtaining a good wine. Its interior walls are in contact with wine, this being a key aspect when preparing broths So far these surfaces are smooth and when about they deposit sediments of the oenological process, they are undergoing a cleaning treatment. In this sense, just as it is contemplated by the Patent of Invention n ° P-200200554, it is planned to carry out a system of mechanical cleaning of the inside of the barrel, with the intention of return to it its initial qualities and leave it ready for reuse

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

En líneas generales, el proceso para mejorar las cualidades de los toneles para vino, que la invención propone, consiste en efectuar un estriado en la superficie interior del tonel, empleando una fresa o herramienta de corte vinculada a un útil copiador que es el que determina y obliga al porta-cuchillas o porta-fresas a seguir la curvatura del interior del tonel.In general, the process to improve  qualities of wine barrels, which the invention proposes, it consists of making a striatum on the inner surface of the barrel, using a strawberry or cutting tool linked to a useful copier which is what determines and forces the blade holder or strawberry holder a follow the curvature inside the barrel.

El estriado realizado puede adoptar diferentes geometrías en función de la decisión del enólogo, pero siempre debe mantener una forma de crestas triangulares, trapeciales, u onduladas.The striated can take different geometries depending on the decision of the winemaker, but you should always maintain a form of triangular, trapecial ridges, or wavy

Los anchos y profundidades del estriado son también variables a gusto de los enólogos. A mayor profundidad, más superficie de contacto entre madera y vino. Esto es fundamental en la trata del caldo, ya que se puede afirmar que:The widths and depths of the striatum are also variables to taste of winemakers. At greater depth, more  contact surface between wood and wine. This is fundamental in it treats the broth, since it can be affirmed that:

Este proceso amplia sustancialmente las variantes de permutación de los diferentes aromas que entrega el roble al vino, ya que se está aumentando con este proceso al cien por cien la superficie de madera en contacto con el vino, aminorando sustancialmente la estancia del vino dentro del tonel, y por tanto, favoreciendo una menor oxidación de la materia colorante del vino, elemento importantísimo a la hora de hacer una cata de calidad, pues el color de un vino decide el cincuenta por ciento de su catalogación (dentro de los grandes vinos). Por otra parte, también se consigue una menor evaporación y por tanto una menor merma de volumen del propio vino al tener que estar un menor tiempo dentro del tonel.This process substantially extends the permutation variants of the different aromas that the wine oak, as it is being increased with this process to one hundred per cent the surface of wood in contact with the wine, substantially decreasing the wine stay inside the barrel, and therefore, favoring a lower oxidation of the coloring matter of wine, an important element when tasting quality, because the color of a wine decides fifty percent of its cataloging (within the great wines). On the other hand, also less evaporation is achieved and therefore less volume reduction of the wine itself having to be less time  inside the barrel.

En cuanto al producto obtenido, es decir, el tonel fabricado o recuperado conforme al proceso objeto de la invención, podemos decir que las duelas con las que se construye, presentan un estriado longitudinal cuyo perfil puede ser triangular, trapecial o sinusoidal, consiguiéndose así que aumente, hasta el cien por cien la superficie en contacto con el vino, con las ventajas preconizadas.As for the product obtained, that is, the barrel manufactured or recovered according to the process object of the invention, we can say that the staves with which it is built, they have a longitudinal striatum whose profile can be triangular, trapecial or sinusoidal, thus getting it to increase, up to one hundred percent the surface in contact with the wine, with the recommended advantages.

Descripción de la forma de realización preferidaDescription of the preferred embodiment

Haciendo referencia a la numeración adoptada en las figuras, podemos ver cómo el proceso para mejorar las cualidades de los toneles para vino y producto obtenido, que la invención propone, consiste en practicar un estriado (1) en la superficie interna (2) del tonel (3), en una operación de fresado mediante la fresa (4) calada en el eje (5) del cabezal de la máquina.Referring to the numbering adopted in the figures, we can see how the process to improve qualities of the barrels for wine and product obtained, that the invention proposes, is to practice a striatum (1) in the inner surface (2) of the barrel (3), in a milling operation by means of the cutter (4) cut in the axis (5) of the head of the machine.

La fresa (4) tiene su generatriz curvo-convexa, adaptada a la curvatura del tonel (3) en sentido anular. El cabezal de fresado se desplaza a lo largo del tonel (3) avanzando en sentido longitudinal. Un útil copiador obliga al porta-fresas a seguir la curvatura del tonel en sentido longitudinal.The strawberry (4) has its generatrix curved-convex, adapted to the curvature of the barrel (3) ringwise. The milling head moves along of the barrel (3) advancing longitudinally. A useful copier forces the strawberry holder to follow the curvature of the barrel in longitudinal direction.

Cuando la fresa (4) ha realizado una pasada para mecanizar una banda longitudinal (equivalente a la superficie de una duela o similar), se produce el rearme y el tonel 3 se desplaza angularmente para que se mecanice la banda adyacente y así sucesivamente hasta completar toda la superficie interna. En la figura 1 se muestra el dispositivo de giro del tonel.When the strawberry (4) has made a pass to  machining a longitudinal band (equivalent to the surface of a stave or similar), rearmament occurs and barrel 3 moves angularly so that the adjacent band is machined and so successively until the entire internal surface is completed. In the Figure 1 shows the barrel rotation device.

En la figura 3a se observa a mayor escala el perfil del estriado triangular (1) realizado con la fresa (4). Con la misma fresa u otra similar, se pueden obtener estriados de forma trapecial (sin llegar al fondo o valle de la fresa y con el paso de diente deseado). Este dentado trapecial se ha referenciado con (6) en la figura 3b.In Figure 3a, the Triangular striated profile (1) made with the cutter (4). With the same or similar strawberry, you can get striated from trapecial form (without reaching the bottom or valley of the strawberry and with the desired tooth pitch). This trapecial tooth has been referenced with (6) in figure 3b.

Con una fresa (4) de perfil ondulado se puede obtener igualmente el estriado (7) de la figura 3c.With a strawberry (4) of wavy profile you can also obtain the striatum (7) of Figure 3c.

El tonel (3) que presenta un estriado interior (1, 6, 7) que aumenta su superficie de contacto con el vino, mejora las cualidades para obtener buenos vinos como se ha señalado anteriormente.The barrel (3) that has an inner striatum (1, 6, 7) that increases its contact surface with the wine, improves  the qualities to get good wines as noted previously.
