Whisky Distillation Equipment

Whisky distillation equipment has column still design and pot still design

The column still is more efficient alternative to the pot still , it is capable of continuous distillation

By reheating the liquid ,rather than requiring distillation in batches and can produce higher ABV spirits than the pot stills

The device consists of two columns which contain a number of compartments separated by heated plates. The plates are perforated with small holes to permit the upward passage of steam and spirit vapor, which is condensed to become spirits.

Distillation columns (distillation towers) are made up of several components, each of which is used either to transfer heat energy or enhance material transfer. A typical distillation column consists of several major parts:

1.A vertical shell where separation of the components is carried out.

2.Column internals such as trays, or plates, or packings that are used to enhance component separation.

3.A reboiler to provide the necessary vaporization for the distillation process.

4.A condenser to cool and condense the vapor leaving the top of the column.

5. A reflux drum to hold the condensed vapor from the top of the column so that liquid (reflux) can be recycled back to the column.
