What a cork is made of. Making cork for large bottles with your own hands. How to make a cork for bottles. Classification of manufacturing material This procedure is not required, unless there is a frequent direct impact on the subject, for example

A cork broke down in the Chinese thermos.
Only old Chinese thermoses (I have 2 of them) hold all day hot tea-coffee in travel and they do not give anything other than tea-coffee. But the plug should be only from cork oak. There are no equal heat conduction. Soft enough, so as not to break the flask when cooled when the plug is drawn inside. Unfortunately, they dry and dying, crumbling. Cork oak does not grow with us, otherwise I would cut it myself. And only plates made of glued cork crumbs are on sale. And it is not known that there is in the plate for fason ski mastics. Or in the foam, from which 90% of the advisers are advised in return. You can, of course, glue and deceive the cork with a sealant (still go find food) or wrap the foil (on a paper basis!). But why not in the sale of factory traffic jams and flasks to chinese thermos? It was in the USSR.

In the internet found a person who makes any corks to order from cork oak. And even the phone was. But Ukrainian. I was afraid to call.

A good option suggested me LJ Penkin .

Here is his recipe:
Take plastic bottle (Good milk with a wide neck) so that the neck roughly coincided with the diameter with the diameter of the neck of the thermos. Next, we take the bottle corks and stuff in the neck - so that the part is sticking out in one direction (this sticking part and will be a plug that will lock the thermos). In my case, it fit is not perfectly tight, but it works.

Thanks to him. I think that you can make a fit of the fact that the screw cork-cup is fully curved will press gently the entire system to the neck. + food sealant to close the gaps and make plastic plastic on the sealant of the same type of gasket between the neck and a piece of bottle.

And I tried another option: (see below version Cork number 5)

grilled one piece 8. wine traffic (It turned out half of my stock - the plugs glued out of cork oak crumbs are poorly suitable for such a job, although in a picture of Penkina I also see such), pre-clogging them on a round and flat rashpilles, (it remains to trim and cut the perimeter in the sample size). I had a problem, you need to close the cracks between parts. It seems best for this food sealant. Found the best price CEMLUX 9014, but I do not see it in retail.

I tried to find a corter of a cork tree on sale, there are only pieces

or plate and tube

All of them are thin and oh expensive. Yeah, here, it seems, the desired! For terrariums! Here is a plate of 1 kg for 353 rubles, however, go for the Moscow Ring Road, but it looks like a deso, in other places the same from 1,000 (!!!) rub apiece, from this already you can cut the circles the desired diameter, albeit with a small thickness, then glue.

Along the way, found curious:

"The harvesting of the cortex is made after reaching the 25-year-old tree. With the help of a special ax, the bark is cut along and in the circle of the tree trunk, and then fought by the pointed end of the tool. The first collection material is used very rarely and only for technical purposes. Tubes have full properties. Oak Third Collection.

The natural cork plug is harvested in the summer in days when there is no sultry wind. The new full-fledged layer of the crust is formed only 8-9 years after the billets. After collecting, the bark is dried directly on the plantation for six months and only then goes for subsequent processing. "

That is why such difficulties with the purchase of spare traffic jams. I think this is the most expensive part of the Chinese thermos.

Pancake! Or maybe in China easier to order? By mail through the Internet?

I turn to the point.

"If I decide, so I will not have anything"

Cork number 1.

I started with the fact that I tried to revive the old, pissing, but my native cork.
He took an ancient medical plaster with a width of 2 cm. He was lying so that he was impregnated with glue through and became sticky on both sides of the tape, which makes it unsuitable for ordinary goals, and I was just good - a bilateral eco-friendly velcro. Approximately 5 layers of the patch on the plug wound and reached the desired diameter (easily inserted plug hung in the neck around the middle of its height). The top of the food foil is added from above, which perfectly stuck to the plaster. At the same time, it is 100% missing glue out. Inserted into the neck and twisted a little - the plug entered deeper and sealing became beautiful.
PS: Wash the plaster should be so that the tape tape is maintained, then when plugging and twist, a small ring tubercock is formed from a soft patch under the foil between the edge of the neck and the metallic imagine. For this tubercle it is easy to remove a plug of thermos.
PS: There are space for further improvement following Example No. 2 with a handle (see)

Cork number 2.

In the second thermos, the cork has been preserved much better, however, and she flick a little. So that the neck tightly stuck up, it must be pushed to the aluminum lid. As a result, it is very difficult to open the thermos, the traffic jam when cooled the content is drawn into the failure and over the neck is only a cover. It is not glued to the plug, but just slightly rolled and keeps at the expense of the cork tape. You pull the cover - the thin metal is squeezed - and the cover flies from the plugs, you begin to pull out further, with your fingers, nails - the cork begins to crumble, break.
It is so in most cases that it comes in disrepair, it is necessary to cut off the plug layer, so that it is necessary to wear a cap (inadequate, it is necessary to fade, wrinkle it), and the plug in the end dangles in the neck - and here the patch and foil goes into the course.
I thought, and why, while the plug did not get finally, not to fasten the handle to the tube on top to remove the plug. The material is the same cork, only not wine, but from champagne (its integrity is not broken by a corkscrew). Let it not be solid, and glued out of pieces. At first, I made a short one, but by reflection, I decided to increase it length so that when screwing up the cup, it pressed the entire system to the neck of the flask, but very gently, so as not to break the fragile glass. It provides almost complete tightness when turning the thermos. In addition, for reliability before assembly, I removed the metal cap, missed it from the inside with nail polish (I often use it as glue) and again rolled it again. The bonding screw used a galvanized with a wide head-washer, deepening it with 5 mm in the handle. Poured the body of the screw and the deepening in the handle with glue and closed on the same glue with decorative impart from a piece of narrow end of the tube from champagne.
PS: The height of the cup in different thermoses is different, so the calculation is made at the place. Check. Insert the system tightly in the neck. Slightly burn your fingers top of a cup inside and screw. If at the very end of the screwing we see how the cutting of the top of the cup is straightened - the result is achieved. If this happens earlier - stepping or cutting a top of the handle. Well, or a glass will have to do not finish the thread, which is worse.

Cork number 3.

Improving the idea of \u200b\u200bPenkina, I improved it somewhat.

In the photo it can be seen that I cut off completely, but not under the very brown, and leaving a small piece of the neck without thread. It makes it possible to rest in the neck of the thermos not a hard oblique thread, but a smooth plane of the bintice, at the same time a little penetrating the torn in it. Of course, it is also possible to mix the bureau's joint and protrusion with a sealant, but absolute tightness can lead to the fact that with full cooling of the contents (especially if the air in the flask there will be a lot, but a little liquid) flask can break from the vacuum. After all, a hard design, unlike soft plug, will not be able to draw inside.
Hinged the top of the design sealant. Since it is practically not in contact with the contents, I allowed myself to use the most ordinary white sealant moment, and not food, which is expensive and difficult to find. The contents in the end should cool not as fast as without sealing.
The sealant I made a convex, accurately calculated the height of the design (in my case it is without sealant - 35 mm + 1 cm sealant protector). The convexity of the sealant gently and elastically rests from the inside to the center of the cup of the cup when screwing (soft metal allows 2-3 mm of backlash) and ensures reliability of tightness when thermos is turned over.

PS: Checking the accuracy of assembly produced according to Example number 2 (see)

Cork number 4.

I did not satisfy me the quality of the traffic jam number 3, and I made a change.

2. Poured the sealant inside the design is not only from above, but carefully between pieces to the flavored itself, so that the liquid from the thermos does not penetrate between the plugs, hanging in it with the threat of zaking. At the same time No. 4 became 2 times heavier No. 3!
3. Tightened the design with a convex part of the sealant of food film for a better product type of construction

A day later, the film can be removed and sucking the sealant without it. The full impression that the film was not filmed. But it is not !!! Beauty !!?

PS: sealant Diesel Swords (smell like acetic essence), so drying is better to produce staircase At least the first day three.

Cork number 5, etc. - dead-end options

1. I spent a lot of time to pull out and glue nail polish here such Iketubana.

But because of the excellence №3 and №4, further processing was recognized as inexpedient due to excessive consideration.
2. It was possible to buy a real cork bark and food sealant and build almost a copy of the original. But expensive and time will occupy a cloud.
3. In Chinese internet also look for laziness. If you suddenly in gratitude for my work, send a link to the purchase on the purchase on the right plug for the thermos - I will be grateful and submitting it in this epochable post, but I doubt whether I will bother with the order when I already have even 2 replacement options : For one thermos number 1 and for another number 3.
4. Somehow it has long stumbled into an internet for the extension of the plug due to drilling it in the center and clogging into the hole of the cylinder slightly larger diameter. Before climbing the plug must be unpiring !!! If anyone tries and succeeds - the wind in the sail.

You never thought, how and from what makes such a familiar thing, as a plug for wine?

I suggest you look at the interesting photo report from the factory for the production of wine plugs.

This is the only tree in the world, which is capable of completely regenerated. Cork oaks are marked to know when you can shoot another harvest from them. For example, the figure 7 means that the last time the boron from this tree was filmed in 2007.

Of course, on such a serious production, training programs for workers are necessarily involved, which ensures their safety.

From production waste make not only building materials, but also bags, aprons, shoes and even umbrellas! Cork production is almost non-freight. Among other things, an indispensable material in the manufacture of rescue. On the water, it withstands the weight much more of its own, and practically does not absorb moisture.

The plug appeared in the form in which we knew it relatively recently, only in the XVII century, together with the appearance of in mass everyday glass bottle. Before that, the plug was also used, but not in such quantities. The vessels were preferred to cloculate with rags and woods, which gave the content with time not peculiar to the taste, but also spoiled him. The cork does not scatter like a tree, and with proper processing does not spoil the taste of wine or brandy, which is important.

The plug is produced from the cortex of cork oak, which grows only in several countries in Europe and on the Mediterranean coast in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. In other countries, the cork oak is practically not growing. The largest crop crop crop can be obtained in Portuguese plantations.

The first time the Corra is removed from the oak after he will be 20-25 years old. The next ten years it should be recovered. In addition, it is possible to remove the bark only at a certain season, when it is almost squeezed. During the rest of the time, the tree can be damaged. The Cora is removed not all right away, but by certain areas, therefore, the trees seem to be semi-digit. From the bark removed from one oak you can get a thousand traffic jams. The highest quality is the bark taken from a 150-year-old tree. Oak, which is more than 200 years old, begins to hurt and high-quality cortex no longer gives. It is uprooted and a new tree is planted on the vacation spot.

Cutting sorted. The first grade is sent to the factory, where they make plugs for vintage wines and cognacs, and that worse falls on the production plant construction insulation and noise absorbers.

The cortex of cork oak dumps in huge piles right on the territory of the plant. Before letting a plug in the case of it for several months withstand in the open sky.

First of all, the raw materials are subject to heat treatment. The plug is boiled in a huge boiler, and at the same time all sorts of spiders are destroyed, which managed to start in it.

Then cut the bark to the strip, after which it is again sorted, wash, disinfected and again soaked in water.

From these billets, plugs are cut out, and the cork crumb to which the binder is added under the press.

Refine plugs are covered with cork dust, they are used for medium price category. And the simplest and most massive traffic jams, including for champagne, are made from cork chips, whose pieces glued with special glue. Such glued plugs are also located in the bottled wine of the middle and lowest price category, designed for fast sale and short-range storage.

From other waste make various decoration Materials. In the workshop, from which the traffic jam is already in packed form, you can not fit without headphones and respirator - here it is very noisy and dusty. The cork sheets are very hot. After they are cooled, they are sent to further processing - cut into standard plates.

If you push the room with such material, you can walk at least on the head - the neighbors still will not hear anything. Builders love traffic and because she is unlike plastic panels In case of fire, it does not allocate poisonous gases.

As for the cork for bottles, its quality was previously checked manually. As the plates of cork cork oak have different sizes Both thickness, not all operations trusted machine guns. A worker busy directly cut the plugs per day pressed his foot on the machine pedal about ten thousand times. Now, on modern plants Electronics fully controls the entire process.

Finished plugs are subject to careful sorting. Makes this special machine. He "scans" the plug surface, and depending on how much cracks and defects detects, directs it in one or another basket. After that, it is checked again for quality. Then the plugs wash, whiten to remove harmful substances, and placed in a 12% alcohol solution for 24 hours.

Solid traffic jams are ideal for long-term storage only when compliance required conditions (humidity, contact wine with cork). Comalted plugs (with spraying) are also suitable for storage, but not too long. The glued and extruded tubes allow you to store wine only a few years, after which there is a risk of spoiling the contents of the bottle.

The plug dries up, which can cause damage due to air access. Wrong is the vertical storage of wine bottles on the shelves in supermarkets. Just a few months of vertical standing under powerful lamps in the store - and such wine can spoil or lose a lot in taste.

Only a natural cork allows you to "breathe", and, in contact with wine, the bouquet additionally complements the bouquet. Bottles, cladped by genuine plug, can be stored with decades and even censes (under special conditions). For such a long "cooperation" with cork oak, the winemakers studied all the properties of the plug, and most of the famous wine critics believe that natural corks not only retain, but also improve the flavor of wine. However, there is a small percentage of marriage - a natural fee for "naturalness".

I advise you to watch the video where you can learn more about trafficter than the post)

It is very difficult to organize a stable fermentation process without a hydraulic assembly. An experienced homemade winemakers and moonshoes know about it. Although in our time you can buy a factory hydropup, but it is easier to make this device with your own hands from the girlfriend, spending just a few minutes. We will look at the most successful designs.

Why do you need a waterproofing. During fermentation, carbon dioxide gas (about 4 cubic meters per 1 liter of obtained alcohol) is actively highlighted. Carbon dioxide accumulation is fraught with high pressure in the fermentation container, which can lead to an explosion. Gas should be output, but it is so that oxygen does not get into the container. The fact is that oxygen activates the vital activity of bacteria, which convert alcohol into acetic acid, and without air access, these bacteria are inactive.

Hydrosing for fermentation is a valve, output carbon dioxide and at the same time preventing air intake. Without this device, winemaking is impossible, otherwise the young wine immediately turns into vinegar. Moonshoes are still arguing about its need, but newcomers are better to install.

It is believed that Braga should "breathe", so the hydraulic was not needed. In fact, Braga is oxidized not worse than wine. Simply in the period of active fermentation, the extracted carbon dioxide prevents the oxygen to the surface. But as soon as alcohol bacteria do their job, their acetic "colleagues" is immediately taken for work, turning alcohol into acid. If such a BRAH does not overtake in time, then it will simply skis or in the moonshine there will be an unpleasant acid flavor. The percentage of exit also falls.

Braga under the hydropitus can stand without distillation, much longer and not oxidize. All alcohol developed by the bacteria friendly to us is preserved.

1. Classic hydraulic machine (cover, tube, bank). The easiest and most reliable kit. It is enough to do a hole in the lid of the fermentation container, insert the tube and seal the place of connection with glue. Another end to omit in a jar with water.

1 - Braga (Suslo); 2 - traffic jam; 3 - tube; 4 - Water

Disadvantage: With a small diameter of the tube, the waterproofing can be clogged by foam, so I recommend using not thin capillaries, but a large diameter tube.

Collected kit

This water shutter allows you to accurately determine the readiness of wine or braga. If there are no bubbles in the jar with water, then there is a walled braga ready to distillation, and wine to plum with a precipitate.

One of the varieties of this design is a drop of dropper. Read more on video.

During fermentation, an unpleasant smell appears. It is very relevant for residents of apartments that are not able to make a container with Braga in a non-residential premises. From the smell you can get rid of carbon dioxide into the sewer. It is only necessary to improve the jar in which fermentation products fall.

Gas removal scheme in sewer

The tube gas from the fermentation container enters the bank, overcomes the pressure of the fluid column (H) and goes into the sewer. A pillar of water serves as a kind of barrier that does not allow gases from the sewage to get into the fermentation container.

This design resembles an armhire for the moonshine. Two holes make two holes in the jar with a dense lid, then they are connected to the tubes and seal. The upgraded floor-liter jar on 1/3 volume is filled with water, the introductory tube is lowered into a liquid by 1-2 cm, the output - into the washbasin.

Active device

2. Medical glove. Simple design, suitable for fermentation containers with a wide neck (banks and bottles). In fact, it is not hydraulic, but it works no worse. The shutter from the glove often uses women, since it does not need to drill, solder and glue.

1 - bottle; 2 - Glove

In any of the fingers of the rubber glove, a small hole is made with a needle. Next, the glove is put on the neck of the tank. So that the gas pressure does not break the glove, the place of attachment with the neck is tightened with a rubber band or tied with thread.

Glove for fermentation

Disadvantage: due to too large diameter neck and high pressure Gas on tanks of more than 20 liters reliably fasten the glove is very difficult or not possible. The smell of fermentation will be present in the room.

With active fermentation, the glove is inflated when the process ends, - repents again.

Extravagant option

3. Mobile plug. The neck of the tank is plugged with a plug out of cotton or other porous material, through the structure of which carbon dioxide can exit. But the plug does not provide complete tightness, especially at the very end of fermentation. The pressure in the bottle falls, as a result of which air begins to enter the container. Another drawback is very difficult to understand when fermentation ended.

1 - bottle; 2 - Cork

We use cotton cork if for some reason it is not possible to install a more reliable design.

4. "Quiet" hydraulic. The extraction of carbon dioxide is accompanied by the characteristic sounds of bulk. There are people who annoys. The author of the next video solved the problem by creating a hydraulic vehicle from a syringe and a plastic bottle. To make this water shutter, you will need a little longer than in previous cases, but you will have a device that resembles stores.

In addition to silent fermentation, this design has no other advantages.

How to make a traffic jam aslan. Wrote in April 10th, 2013

Rips on the button to subscribe to "how it is done"!

As promised, two ideas will be presented in this article as a conventional cork plug, using decor, can be turned into original decoration Your bottle or decanter. Let's start.

Cork plug.

Decor twine.

(Master Class)

We need:

Two cork plugs
Tassel flat
Twine
PVA glue
Water-based lacquer

The first thing that is worth thinking about, about the convenience of using our cork. We want it or not, we need to make it more. Decide, with a small stopper, it will be more. To do this, connect two jams with a screw:

Further, from the twine, we make "tails", we put the twine in the loops we need long. We tend our bundle from the "tails" to the end of the twine does not cut it off from the bobbin. The small tip is glued the place with the "tails" with a adhesive gun or superclosure to the top of our cork, do not touch the long working thread.

Covering a piece of cork with glue and begins to wrap our cork in a circle, leaving a small part of the plug is not covered, so that we can insert it into the neck of the bottle.

How many rows of twine you will apply on each other depends on the thickness of the neck on the bottle or decanter. It will look very beautiful and carefully when the cork and neck bottle will be one straight line. Something like this:

decor bottles as a gift "Moonshine"

In this embodiment, three layers of twine. How to make such a bottle you can read

Cover our cork with PVA glue into two layers, giving each layer to dry well. I fix everything with varnish, also in two layers.

This procedure is not required, unless there is a frequent direct impact on the subject, for example with hands, water, etc.

Cork plug. Decor "Corn"

Honestly, as it usually happens, I spied the idea. Considering the photo on the Internet, I do not remember the topic, I came across the photo of a huge bottle, where the Corn's Copper was used instead of a traffic jam, I really liked it, so I decided to realize this idea. You ask: "But it would not be easier to take and buy ordinary corn and arrange it properly?" I will answer, it can also be easier, but the corn is the corn there is one big drawback, it is his fragility. Such a traffic jam will last shorter. So, what we need:

Two cork plugs
Saws, long enough to join the plugs
Tassel flat
Corn grade, which is used for cooking Pop Corn
Adhesive gun or superchalter
PVA glue
Water-based lacquer

Connect the corks with a screw
With the help of adhesive guns, we glue corn grains to traffic jam

Leave a free small piece of traffic jam

cubery "Corn"

Processing PVA 2-3 layers
We treat varnish

That's how our cork will look at the bottle.

Well, now I have left the original bottle to this traffic jam.

This is from the case when the end is already there, and the beginning has not yet been.

On this expelling to bow. Today, everything. To new meetings. And the most important thing:

If you have stopped corks from wine, then do not rush to throw them out. You can make interesting and unusual things that will delight your eyes and help in the farm. In addition, from the plugs from wine you can make a real work of art with your own hands.

Wine plugs are an excellent material for making crafts and useful things. Due to its texture and lightness, the plugs are simply glued and combined into a single whole. If you choose high-quality glue, then the product from wine plugs will serve you for a very long time. For crafts, you can also use corks from champagne.

Wine plugs can be found not only from wine lovers. They are also sold in stores, which offers a wide selection of traffic jams that differ in material and color. They are relatively inexpensive - about 250 rubles per 100 wine plugs. Also buy wine stoppers can be on a winery. Often, manufacturers give them in a gift or offers them to buy for a symbolic price.

How to prepare wine stoppers for crafts

Before the manufacture of the crafts themselves, it is important to prepare them correctly, since this will depend not only the quality of the product obtained as a result, but also appearance. If there are traces of wine on traffic jams, then they need to soak with a bleach for 5-8 hours. After that, you need to give traffic jams to dry, otherwise they will subsequently glue or will not be connected to one unit.

What can be made from wine plugs with your own hands? Bath mat!

The guar for the bathroom from wine plugs can become an indispensable thing, since the bacterium can not multiply on the corkbar. Moreover, the plugs from the wine do not absorb moisture. As a result, you can get a comfortable and healthy rug for health, to make which is not so difficult.

For the manufacture of a pad for a bathtub from wine traffic jams, we will need the following materials:

Wine plugs 200 pcs.
Sandpaper
Base for the rug (rubberized fabric, rubber rug)

Divide each plug from wine into two parts and process them with emery paper from two sides so that no irregularities remain. After that, you can proceed directly to the manufacture of the rug. Here the glue comes to the rescue, with which you need to glue the corks to the base. You need to do it, heading from the edges to the center. You can upload corks parallel to each other or put them in different combinations, thereby creating an original pattern. Immediately after all the plugs are glued, you need to remove the excess glue from the surface and give the rug a little to lie away to the corks firmly glued.

Stand for the kettle - Another handicap of wine plugs

Stand for the kettle is required in almost every home, so you will not be mistaken if you decide to make it with your own hands. For the manufacture of Wine Cork Stands, we will need the following materials:

Wine plugs 15 pcs.
Cutting board
Thicks

First, cut the plugs into small circles. Each cork must be cut by 10-15 circles. Then collect them in a single pattern and connect with threads and needles. If you want to get a more elegant and original rug, you can use threads of different colors.

Crafts from wine plugs do it yourself: an unusual vase

From wine plugs can be made both miniature and quite spacious vases that will fit into your interior. For the manufacture of a vase from traffic jams, we will need the following materials:

Corks from wine 50-100 pcs. (depending on the size of the vase)
Tolstick Vase
Sandpaper

First you need to determine the protruding parts of the traffic jams. If they are available, then you need to cut everything too much and handle the edge of the wine plugs with sandpaper. After that, take the glue and attach all the plugs to the vase along its perimeter. The pattern can be chosen on their own, but in the end you should get a vase, fully decorated with plugs from wine.

Decorative figures

Figures can become not only a suitable element of the interior in your housing, but also a gift for your relatives and loved ones. For the manufacture, you can use the plugs of a wide variety of shades. This will make the figure more voluminous and interesting.

From wine traffic jams you can make a variety of figures: animals, human face, geometric figures and much more. In order to obtain the desired shape, you can use scissors or knife, as well as use sandpaper for polishing the edges of the plugs. You can glue the figures with glue. To bonding elements, you can use a needle with thread.

How to use wine plugs: make fridge magnets

Sometimes I want to bring some originality and individuality to quite familiar things. If you are tired of looking at the same magnets on the refrigerator, you can make new from wine plugs. For this we will need the following materials:

Wine plugs 10-20 pcs.
Round magnets

Cut the wine plugs on small circles with a diameter of 5-7 mm. Then glue each circle to the magnet with glue. Remove the excess glue and decorate the magnet at your request. For decoration, you can use the auxiliary elements (buttons, beads, rhinestones, etc.) or write some text with a marker, felt-tip pen or handle.

The plug, in the form in which is known now, appeared in the 17th century, simultaneously with a glass bottle. Prior to that, it also used, but in isolated cases. Most often, the blockage of containers was carried out with the help of rags or pieces of wood, which led to the deterioration of the contents and deterioration of taste. In contrast to the tree, the cork does not swell greatly, and with competent processing the taste of the drink and the smell do not spoil.

General

Bottles corks differ in shape and design. During the manufacturing process, special components are added that improve protective function And act as an exclusive sign of the quality of drinks.

The plug for tight is inserted into the neck of the container, retains its properties for a long time and is a product of natural origin, like a good high-quality drink. Tubes are made long and difficult. Initially, cork oak bark is removed when the age of wood is about 30 years. This material is not used in production, since the corks for wine bottles are made only after 3 removal. The second layer is growing for about 10 years. Production technology is a few consecutive stages: semi-annual drying, careful selection, flushing and processing with disinfectant solution.

Classification for manufacturing material

Corks under the bottles are different. It all depends on the set of factors from which the appointment and material of the manufacture. The most common types of traffic jams:

cork;
plastic;
metallic;
rubber;
from foil;
synthetic;
glass.

Cork wine corks (found among some types of champagne). Plastic bottles with non-alcoholic drinks are blocked with plastic traffic jams, and packaging with mineral water And the beer is closed with metal covers. Rubber products are used. Many medical drugs are clogged by foil traffic jams.

Synthetic plugs based on polyethylene differ in that they do not miss moisture and easily pulled out a corkscrew. The quality of these products may be varied, silicone is considered the best in this category. The advantages of glass traffic jams are simplicity of opening and closing, an interesting appearance. Experts recommend using them for wine, which is not designed for long storage.

Separation by structural features

Bottles corks are also microgranulated, screw and buffa. Microgranulated has a homogeneous structure, high elasticity and elasticity. The production technology is rather new: food glue and a waxy substance of organic origin is added to the cortical granules of the size that does not exceed half of the millimeter (extracted from the entire process is obtained under high pressure.

The screw plug has a minor cost, eliminates the risk of developing a cork disease, but is not sufficiently strong. It is made of aluminum alloys and synthetic gasket. Bottles with a buggy cork can often be found in cosmetic stores and on counters with olive oil. Good tightness and the ability to repeatedly use a bougid tube among the others.

Production features

The cork is well compressed, and thanks to this property, it can be shunken in the neck of the bottle, where it is tightly sprinkled against the walls of the vessel because of its elasticity. This is achieved by a thorough impregnation of material and warming steam (tawding). If the plug is driving, it will be tough. In production, it is pushed through the tube in the neck.

In order to protect the material from the effects of liquids in the bottle, it is treated with paraffin when high temperaturesoh. The cork begins to solve when cooling, so it is kneading in a special press in order to return the elastic structure.

Cork production for wine

Corks for bottles from natural materials - perfect way Capping, characterized by aestheticism. The product is distinguished by resistance to temperature effects, it is easy, well passes the desired amount of air, it is not amenable to rot. An ordinary genuine cork can serve about 50 years.

Production begins from the moment the layer is removed from the tree. The same year is stored in special premises, after which is undergoing treated under the action of high temperatures. Then it is cut on the plates and sent for sorting. The plates make stripes with subsequent cylindrical plugging. Standard length - from 2.5 to 7 cm. It is believed that the larger the length, the greater the price of the drink.

The next step of processing is the grinding of cylinders to provide an ideally smooth surface. After that, the product is bleached and soaked with wax. Final step - burning branded inscriptions on a traffic jam or pressing under pressure. Often, a sulfuric anhydride is added to the bottle under the tube to preserve the drink.

Bugle plug

You can often find square bottles with a buggy plug, which produce many manufacturers for the purpose of long and proper storage various liquids. In most cases, the container is performed from glass. As a rule, it is a small volume that is ideal for home storage of salad dressing and olive oil. Lithing bottle The glass with the plug under consideration is used for the spill of lemonade, emphasis, tinctures, etc. For beautiful tanks in the style of "Vintage", the neck of which is expanded, a buggy tube - great way Save fresh, for example, milk.

The bougid tubes consist of a cap made of high-quality and safe plastic, and a stainless steel wire holder with chromium coated. These reusable products allow for a long time to keep the freshness of drinks in the bottle.

Advantages of a buggy traffic jam

Bugel products are widely used to clog vessels, while guaranteed high tightness and reliability of packaging. Applying these bottles stoppers, you can be confident in the convenience of using and preserving the properties of the beverage. Multiple use allows to achieve significant savings.

Bougie traffic jams - a decent alternative to products of natural origin. For wine, this species is rarely used, since, according to experts, a wine bottle loses its centuries a still aesthetic appearance. However, aspects of ecology and savings in the future may be supplanted by classical ideas about the options for clogging bottles.

In the internet found a person who makes any corks to order from cork oak. And even the phone was. But Ukrainian. I was afraid to call.

A good option suggested me LJ Penkin .

Here is his recipe:
We take a plastic bottle (good dairy with a wide neck), so that the neck roughly coincides with the diameter with the diameter of the thermos neck. Next, we take the bottle corks and stuff in the neck - so that the part is sticking out in one direction (this sticking part and will be a plug that will lock the thermos). In my case, it fit is not perfectly tight, but it works.

And I tried another option: (see below version Cork number 5)

grilled one-piece 8 wine plugs (it turned out half of my stock - the plugs glued out of cork oak crumbs are poorly suitable for such a job, although I see such a picture in the picture), I pre-cover them on a round and flat rashpils, (it remains to trim and cut the perimeter in size sample). I had a problem, you need to close the cracks between parts. It seems best for this food sealant. Found the best price CEMLUX 9014, but I do not see it in retail.

I tried to find a corter of a cork tree on sale, there are only pieces

or plate and tube

All of them are thin and oh expensive. Yeah, here, it seems, the desired! For terrariums! Here is a plate of 1 kg for 353 rubles, however, go for the Moscow Ring Road, but it looks like a deso, in other places the same from 1 000 (!!!) rub apiece, from this already you can cut the mug of the desired diameter, albeit with a small thickness, then glue.

Along the way, found curious:

That is why such difficulties with the purchase of spare traffic jams. I think this is the most expensive part of the Chinese thermos.

Pancake! Or maybe in China easier to order? By mail through the Internet?

I turn to the point.

"If I decide, so I will not have anything"
Vladimir Vysotsky

Cork number 1.

Cork number 2.

Cork number 3.

Improving the idea of \u200b\u200bPenkina, I improved it somewhat.

In the photo it can be seen that I cut off completely, but not under the very brown, and leaving a small piece of the neck without thread. It makes it possible to rest in the neck of the thermos not a hard oblique thread, but a smooth plane of the bintice, at the same time a little penetrating the torn in it. Of course, it is also possible to mix the bureau's joint and protrusion with a sealant, but absolute tightness can lead to the fact that with full cooling of the contents (especially if the air in the flask there will be a lot, but a little liquid) flask can break from the vacuum. After all, a hard design, unlike soft plug, will not be able to draw inside.
Hinged the top of the design sealant. Since it is practically not in contact with the contents, I allowed myself to use the most ordinary white sealant moment, and not food, which is expensive and difficult to find. The contents in the end should cool not as fast as without sealing.
The sealant I made a convex, accurately calculated the height of the design (in my case it is without sealant - 35 mm + 1 cm sealant protector). The convexity of the sealant gently and elastically rests from the inside to the center of the cup of the cup when screwing (soft metal allows 2-3 mm of backlash) and ensures reliability of tightness when thermos is turned over.

PS: Checking the accuracy of assembly produced according to Example number 2 (see)

Cork number 4.

I did not satisfy me the quality of the traffic jam number 3, and I made a change.

1. Reduced from 5 to 3rd number of cork parts using only champagne corks. This made it possible to drive parts with great effort into the neck and protrusing cork parts became densely in the neck, ensuring greater safety of heat. Yes, and looks more beautiful. Although there was a small ovality of plastic when squeezing pieces, it does not interfere with the dense contact of the design with the flask. If №3 is a backlash in the neck, then No. 4 is already starting with the cork piece, it is densitive, but without effort concerns the flask.

2. Poured the sealant inside the design is not only from above, but carefully between pieces to the flavored itself, so that the liquid from the thermos does not penetrate between the plugs, hanging in it with the threat of zaking. At the same time No. 4 became 2 times heavier No. 3!
3. Tightened the design with a convex part of the sealant of food film for a better product type of construction

A day later, the film can be removed and sucking the sealant without it. The full impression that the film was not filmed. But it is not !!! Beauty !!?

Threat: Sealant Skyuych (smells acetic essence), so drying is better to produce on the staircase at least three days three days.

Cork number 5, etc. - dead-end options

1. I spent a lot of time to pull out and glue nail polish here such Iketubana.

But because of the excellence №3 and №4, further processing was recognized as inexpedient due to excessive consideration.
2. It was possible to buy a real cork bark and food sealant and build almost a copy of the original. But expensive and time will occupy a cloud.
3. In Chinese internet also look for laziness. If you suddenly in gratitude for my work, send a link to the purchase on the purchase on the right plug for the thermos - I will be grateful and submitting it in this epochable post, but I doubt whether I will bother with the order when I already have even 2 replacement options : For one thermos number 1 and for another number 3.
4. Somehow it has long stumbled into an internet for the extension of the plug due to drilling it in the center and clogging into the hole of the cylinder slightly larger diameter. Before climbing the plug must be unpiring !!! If anyone tries and succeeds - the wind in the sail.
