Efficient Distillation Equipment Solutions

Distillation is one of the oldest liquid separation technologies in the world. In industries such as wine brewing, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, spice extraction and biofuels, distillation equipment is the core equipment to improve product purity, improve resource utilization and ensure quality control.

As a professional manufacturer of beer equipment and distillation systems in China, we continue to integrate traditional processes with modern technologies to launch a series of efficient, automated and multifunctional distillation equipment for the international market, helping global customers to maximize production efficiency, minimize costs and achieve high-end products

Technical principle

Distillation is a physical process based on the difference in boiling points of different components in a mixed liquid. The target substance is purified from the raw material by heating, evaporation and condensation. Industrial distillation usually adopts continuous or intermittent operation, and the equipment structure includes a heating kettle, a tower body, a condenser, a reflux system and a control unit.

1. Basic workflow:

Heating and evaporation: the material enters the distillation kettle and is heated to the boiling point of the target component to convert it into steam;

Separation in the tower: the steam flows upward in the distillation tower, the light component rises, and the heavy component is condensed or refluxed;

Condensation collection: the top steam is cooled into liquid through the condenser and collected as a product;

Reflux regulation: part of the condensed liquid returns to the tower to optimize the separation efficiency of the tower plate and improve the purity of the product.

2. Control core:

Modern distillation equipment is equipped with PLC+touch screen to realize automatic control of temperature, pressure, reflux ratio and heating power to ensure stable product quality, controllable energy consumption, safety and reliability.

Equipment advantages

1. High-purity output, precise separation

Adopting plate-type or packed distillation tower, with high reflux ratio control capability, it can easily achieve high-purity extraction of ethanol, methanol, essential oils and other products, which can reach 90-96% or more.

2. Intelligent control system, convenient operation

Introducing Siemens/Mitsubishi PLC system and touch screen interface, supporting multi-language switching, with real-time monitoring, data recording, abnormal alarm and remote control functions, suitable for international user operation habits.

3. Energy-saving and efficient design, low operating cost

Adopting heat recovery system, multi-effect distillation technology, jacket heating/steam heat exchange method, greatly reducing energy consumption, the thermal efficiency of the equipment is as high as 80% or more.

4. A variety of materials are available to adapt to complex materials

The contact material parts can be made of 304/316L stainless steel, copper, titanium alloy, etc., to adapt to different acidity and alkalinity or corrosive raw materials, and meet food grade and pharmaceutical grade certification.

5. Modular structure, easy installation and maintenance

The equipment adopts modular design, convenient transportation, short on-site installation cycle and simple maintenance. The tower body, condenser and pipes all have quick-install interfaces for easy cleaning and replacement.

6. Comply with international certification standards

The products comply with international certification standards such as CE and PED and can be exported to many countries and regions such as the European Union, North America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

Application areas

Distillation equipment is widely used, covering almost all industries that need to purify, separate, and recover liquid components. The following are the main typical application scenarios:

Wine distillation

Brandy, whiskey, vodka, tequila and other spirits production lines;

Small-scale manual brewing is compatible with industrial-scale brewing;

The equipment can be equipped with a copper tower to improve aroma and flavor.
