How Distillation Equipment Can Expand Your Distillery

Driven by today's diversified consumption trends, craft breweries are no longer just synonymous with "beer brewing". More and more beer manufacturers are turning their attention to higher value-added spirit distillation products, and using distillation equipment to extend the "craft concept" to more sub-segments such as brandy, whiskey, gin, vodka, and craft beer distilled liquor. As a Chinese manufacturer that has been deeply engaged in brewing equipment for many years, we believe that distillation equipment is not only an extension of beer equipment, but also the second curve of the development of the brewing industry.

What key systems does a set of distillation equipment include?

1 Boiler / Pot

This is the "heart" of the entire system, used to heat the fermentation liquid, often using jacket heating, electricity and steam are optional. Copper pots are suitable for flavored spirits, and stainless steel pots are durable and versatile.

2 Steam cap and gooseneck tube (Swan Neck)

Used to guide the steam to rise and perform preliminary separation. Different angles and diameters affect the flavor of the wine.

3 Distillation tower (Column)

Mostly used for aromatic extraction of high-purity spirits or gin. There are trays or packing sections in the tower, which can perform multi-stage separation and reflux adjustment.

4 Condenser (Condenser)

Liquidate steam into liquor, commonly used in coil type and shell and tube type, and the cooling medium is water or ethylene glycol.

5 Fraction receiving system

Collect the head wine, heart wine, and tail wine separately to facilitate flavor adjustment and reuse.

6 Control system

Including temperature control, liquid level monitoring, safety pressure valve, PLC automation control, etc., to improve production efficiency and safety.
