The International Exhibition: Robinson's cask-cleaning machine, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: Robinson's cask-cleaning machine, 1862. A...machine...especially adapted for breweries and vinegar and chemical works...It consists of two frames or rings, one within the other. The outer one when set in motion revolves on its axis, the inner one being forced round within the former a small distance each revolution of the machine. This is accomplished by eccentrics being fixed on the frame or stand, having lifts so attached to the outer frame that, they are free to move up and down according to the direction given by the eccentrics...it will be seen that the cleansing material (hard stones broken small or a chain and water) must search every part of the casks and the filth be effectually scrubbed off, as the material is always resting on the lower side while they are gradually changing their positions every moment. When clean the barrels are taken from the machine and the cleansing substances removed. By this cheap mechanical means the old laborious and expensive system of unheading even the foulest cask is rendered quite unnecessary'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Robinson's cask-cleaning machine, a remarkable invention from the year 1862. The machine, whose creator remains unknown, was designed primarily for use in breweries, vinegar and chemical works. The intricate design of the machine features two interconnected frames or rings, with the outer one rotating on its axis, while the inner one is forced to turn within the outer frame a small distance with each revolution. This motion is achieved through the use of eccentrics fixed on the stand, which lift the outer frame up and down, causing the inner frame to change positions continually. The cleansing material, which could be hard stones or a chain and water, is able to reach every nook and cranny of the casks as it is always in contact with the lower side while the positions are shifting. This innovative design eliminates the need for the laborious and costly method of unheading even the foulest of casks. The barrels are removed from the machine once they have been effectively scrubbed clean, and the cleansing substances are easily removed. This mechanical marvel revolutionized the cleaning process in various industries, making it a significant advancement in technology during the 19th century.
