Washing Cycle

01. RINSE 1

Returned casks are placed on the bed of the Commando Cask Force cask washer, slotting the cask washer’s rotary spray heads through the shive holes of the cask. The spray balls deliver a high impact deluge to the inside of the casks making use of the post-wash rinse water from the preceding cycle (Rinse 2) and loosening any deposits.

02. CAUSTIC WASH

The cask undergoes a powerful high temperature chemical wash which can be programmed from 15˚c up to the maximum of 80˚c. Any impurities are quickly destroyed minimising any opportunity for contamination within the cask.

03. RINSE 2

04. CYCLE COMPLETE

If steam is available then a final steam sterilisation can be added to the program. The cleansed casks are then unloaded and the Commando Cask Force cask washer is ready for the next batch of casks.
