COPPER POT STILL
Malt Whisky is distilled twice in large copper Pot Stills. The liquid wash is heated to a point at which the alcohol becomes vapour. This rises up the still and is passed into the cooling plant where it is condensed into liquid state. The cooling plant may take the form of a coiled copper tube or worm that is kept in continuously running cold water, or it may be another type of condenser.
The first distillation separates the alcohol from the fermented liquid and eliminates the residue of the yeast and unfermentable matter. This distillate, known as low wines, is then passed into another still where it is distilled a second time. The first running from this second distillation are not considered potable and it is only when the spirit reaches an acceptable standard that it is collected in the Spirit Receiver. Again, towards the end of the distillation. the spirit begins to fall off in strength and quality. It is then no longer collected as spirit but drawn off and kept, together with the first running, for re-distillation with the next low wines.
Copper Pot Still for the Malt long with Condensers and after cooler as required, Capacity ranges from 5,000 Liters to 20,000 Liters per Day. Design and Engineering as per specification of customer or we have own set of specification for the design and then fabrication of pot still is done.
We can manufacture different capacity of Wash Wine and Low Wine Pot Stills ranging from 5000 Litres to 25000 Litres charging capacity with different heating elements like internal coils, heating drums or external heating elements like reboiler, jackets.
The shape of the copper pot still can be made in conical or onion shape. The top vapour pipes are also shaped differently like lamp shape, spherical ball, and elliptical ball ending in goose neck.
Traditionally, Copper Pot Stills are far superior and preferred to a steel pot still as copper pot still will help to improve the quality and aroma of the final alcohol distil spirit and will retain better organoleptic taste of the spirit.
Design as per Good Engineering Practices.
