The invention relates to the technical field of bamboo products machining, in particular to a bamboo straw machining method, comprising: connecting two or more bamboo pieces to form a bamboo strip, continuously winding the bamboo strip according to a preset helical angle to form a cylinder, and cutting the cylinder according to a preset interval to form straws. Compared with traditional methods, the method has the following advantages: bamboo pieces are continuously connected to obtain a bamboo strip for continuous production, then the continuous bamboo strip is continuously wound to obtain a cylinder which is good in mechanical property, stable in structure and uniform in appearance, and finally, the cylinder is cut at equal intervals to continuously produce bamboo straws that are highly consistent in specification and performance; and the working efficiency is improved by over 20% on the whole. Labor and equipment costs are greatly reduced.

A method for treating wooden barrels, including a step of spraying a grit-based and/or a slag-based abrasive onto at least one portion of the inside surface of a wooden barrel to remove a damaged layer to separate the grit and/or slag from other residues.

A wooden container provided for the maturation of a wine or a spirit, comprising wood pieces (6) elongated in the direction of the wood fibers, assembled together in the width in order to constitute a closed container, characterized in that it includes at least one wood piece (6) which has an inner surface in which at least one groove (36) is arranged forming an angle relative to the wood fibers representing the longitudinal axis of growth of the shaft, in order to obtain a cut of these fibers intended to be exposed to the liquid.

A cooperage layout for a barrel production process enhances efficiency and/or reduces costs, space requirements and/or noise by positioning barrel raising, windlass, roll out, and/or bilge hoop puller stations within a cooperage and/or through the use of a power and free conveyor to convey temporary truss hoops between a truss hoop puller station and the barrel raising and windlass stations.

The staves for producing wooden barrels are assembled of individual segments which are fixedly connected to each other at end faces. The individual segments are shorter wood pieces that are assembled such that the stave has the required length. The wooden barrel is produced of such staves which are placed against each other seal-tightly with their narrow sides. The individual segments are machined at their end faces such that individual segments resting against each other after assembly are positioned at an angle relative to each other and form a raw stave that is curved across the length.

The interior or core of a toasted wine barrel is milled along the longitudinal grain to varied depths to increase the surface area of the core available to the wine and to present a gradient of the toast surface. The core is milled with a V-shaped corrugated pattern to create a reusable (potentially value-added) barrel. A box-shaped pattern milled into the core doubles the toast surface to expedite oak-wine interaction.

Disclosed herein is a process for the conditioning of wood barrels, in particular, a process for the rapid conditioning of wood barrels. The disclosed process may comprise one or more steps comprising: subjecting a wood barrel to heat to increase the temperature of the wood; contacting the heated internal surface of the wood barrel with a fluid additive; and then optionally: subjecting the interior of the wood barrel to a pressurised environment; and/or subjecting the wood barrel to further heating; repeating one or more steps; and allowing the wood barrel to cool, or cooling the wood barrel, to provide a conditioned wood barrel. Also disclosed is another process comprising the step of providing a bladder and a liquid additive within the interior of a wood barrel for a predetermined time to facilitate absorbing the additive into the wood, wherein the bladder reduces the interior volume of the wood barrel such that the liquid additive is in contact with the internal surface of the barrel. Also disclosed herein are conditioned wood barrels and uses thereof.
