Abstract (en)
A machine and a process are described for automatically carrying out the rejuvenating treatment or the sanitizing treatment of a wooden barrel, in particular a barrique, by throwing granulated dry ice. The barrel, from which an ending wall is preventively removed, is loaded on a supporting frame movably mounted on a first column with vertical axis and transferred at a treating head movably mounted on a second column with vertical axis, parallel to that of the first column. The treating head includes a movable delivery nozzle which throws the granulated dry ice against the inner surface of the barrel. The treatment is achieved by the combination of movements of the supporting frame, the treating head and the delivery nozzle.
