1400L All Copper Column Still Distillery Equipment Distiller for Whisky Vodka

What is distillation?

Distillation is based on the difference in the boiling points of different components in the liquid or gaseous state to achieve separation. In this process, we convert a liquid into a vapor, then re-condense it and collect it in a container. We also use this technique to obtain pure liquids from non-volatile impurities. It can also be used to increase the absorption of specific components in a mixture. The distillation process begins by heating the liquid to its boiling point. This causes the liquid to evaporate and form a vapor. Afterward, the gas is cooled by passing it through a tube at a lower temperature. The cooled vapors condense and form a distillate.

The distillate is the pure form of the original liquid because it leaves behind impurities and produces distillates. When we repeat this process on the collected liquid, we call it double distillation.

How to choose distillation equipment?

• Production scale: Scale your production to your needs, whether it’s for personal use, small-scale artisanal distillation, or large-scale commercial production. Choose equipment that will meet your production volumes and growth projections.

• Budget: Establish a budget for the purchase of distillation equipment and consider both upfront costs and long-term operating expenses. While quality equipment may require a higher initial investment, it can provide better performance, efficiency, and durability over time.

• Quality and materials: Look for distillation equipment made from quality materials such as stainless steel or copper that are durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean. Avoid equipment made from inferior materials that may compromise the quality and safety of your spirits.

• Features and specifications: Consider the features and specifications of the equipment, including capacity, heating method, cooling system, automation options, and compatibility with production processes and recipes. Choose equipment that meets your specific needs and preferences.

• Safety and Regulatory Requirements: Especially when handling toxic, flammable, or corrosive substances, the safety performance of the equipment is critical. Ensure that equipment complies with relevant safety and environmental regulations to avoid potential legal issues and safety risks.

• Equipment performance and efficiency: Select equipment for its separation efficiency and product purity capabilities. Evaluate the energy consumption and maintenance costs of the equipment to ensure that it is economical to operate in the long term.

• Technical support and service: Choose a reputable supplier that can provide good after-sales support and technical service. Understand the warranty policy and maintenance requirements of the equipment to ensure long-term stable operation.

• Energy and efficiency: Sustainability and energy efficiency are increasingly valued in the spirits industry. Choosing energy-efficient distillation equipment not only reduces operating costs but also meets the preferences of environmentally conscious consumers.
