Material:
Electrolytic copper 99.9% suitable for contact with alcohol.
Machine equipment:
- with temperature indicators.
- System Safety/Overpressure Valve
- φ400 manhole installed (for loading distillation material), with glass porthole
- Special design for waste outlet, and installation of an automatic emptying system (bottle/cylinder).
- built-in stirring (mixer) for uniform and better heating of the material we are distilling
The bell (cap) is pear-shaped with a large diameter and a long cone, culminating in its junction with the arch. It then culminates at the bottom of a copper vessel which internally has 4 (four) perforated stainless steel plates where the herbs intended for flavoring the distillate are placed.
The condenser consists of 50 tubes. At the point where the distillate is collected, a glass container for measuring temperature and alcohol proof is installed.
The herb pot and condenser are fitted onto a stainless steel base.
The still is placed inside a specially reinforced combustion oven. Inside, we’ve designed a “snail” (a coiled flue gas path) to utilize exhaust gases and save fuel, resulting in uniform heating of the alembic.
ADVANTAGES
- Space-saving,
- Reduced heat losses resulting in energy savings and faster distillation.
- Direct separation of heads and tails.
- Final product (distillate) of a better quality.
- Methanol below the legal limit.
COMBUSTION METHOD: High-pressure propane burner
The still is placed inside a specially reinforced combustion oven. Inside, we’ve designed a spiral (snail) for exhaust gas utilization and fuel saving, resulting in uniform heating of the alembic.
- Propane, diesel, steam, bain-marie, pellets, and olive pomace.
The material of the alembic is entirely made of lead-free copper. The solders are special, as are the flanges used at the connections with each part of the alembic—the arch and the condenser.
