Sometimes the terms "cleaning" and "sanitizing" are used interchangeably. When folks are being more careful or concise they utilize the words seperatly and specifically.

It has to be clean before it can be sanitary. What should be the first tool in your winery sanitation arsenal? A commercial grade, powerful, heavy duty, durable, easy to use, industrial strength pressure washer.

A real pressure washer needs to see 5 gallons per minute (GPM) of incoming water- bare minimum! It's output pressure can be anywhere from 2600- 3200 pounds per square inch (PSI). And one cool feature would be if it had the ability to run normally with water as hot as 180 degrees F. Now we can have super- efficient, on- demand hot water heaters feeding our heavy duty pressure washer to get stuff really clean. We are doing our whole facility a favor by heating water that way, anyhow.

What kind of stuff can we clean you ask? Sure: Crushpads, bins, tank rooms, walls, tanks, barrels, trucks, etc., etc., etc. 

Fun fact: All of the good barrel / small tank cleaning heads out there need 4.5 GPM at 2600 PSI to operate. Its the same with the walk - around floor scrubbers.

May I suggest a good pressure washer? We can supply one that heats its own water or one that utilizes your water. Either one works well cold.

 Being too busy to switch can happen with any product or service we use.

With screw caps, the perceived level of difficulty of finding, pricing, and testing a manufacturer is so unpleasant that you avoid switching for all but the worst reasons. We respect that you use who you use because you like your brand. But if you are not completely happy and are not shopping because it seems so difficult to switch,  you might be missing out.

What is your reason for buying Stelvin? Surely, the name itself inspires confidence. There is a notion that they set the standard. And sometimes, a brand name becomes a noun when a customer describes their closures. It's funny how we like to do that in our language. Sometimes the manufacturer just shrugs and lets it happen. Not true in this case; Not yet.

Some examples of when a brand becomes a noun: Do you remember when there was no digital printer (I don't)?  I'm told that you had to create an original and then copy it. If you waited long enough, you could fax it over a phone line. That was cutting edge! Was Xerox the only way to make a copy back in the day?  Is an iPhone the only smart phone today? Is a Coke the only soft drink? Do you need a Kleenex, Band Aid, or Aspirin? Are you Googling this?

There are several ways to source screw caps. What you need is a cap with consistent quality and a more competitive price.
