The DS100+ process uses a
machine to conduct a non-invasive
sensory inspection for TCA. Cork
nation. Only two cork palettes, rath-
er than five, are boiled at one time
now, to avoid crowding and allow
the boiling water to reach all surfac-
es of the planks. While the water in
boiling vats was previously reused,
today it is changed after every use
to prevent the spread of TCA.
After boiling, the cork is stored
for two days in order to stabilize
it and reduce its humidity to 10%.
"This practice alone has reduced
TCA by 60%," Valle said.
Curative measures – those that
reduce TCA to non-detectable levels
– include water vaporization, which
opens cork cells and removes most
of the contamination.
NEW PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
In 2012, Cork Supply introduced
its DS100 "dry soak" process, in
which individual corks are inspect-
ed by nose for an additional fee.
The company has two new proj-
Supply is currently working on an
industrial machine that can carry
out this process on a large scale.
Another non-invasive process,
DSX100, detects the internal struc-
ture of the corks and sorts them
Corks are boiled in water only, in closed-top vats.
