16 l Stainless Steel Supreme Still

DESTILLIERMEISTER JUNIOR K16-Supreme

16 l stainless steel still with counter-current high-performance cooling for the production of brandy and essential oils
High material quality:

• Solid thick-walled water / steam boiler made of 18/10 stainless steel and three-layer thermal floor,

• Lockable with tension locks.

• Hygiene thanks to stainless steel - no danger of green chips as with copper.

• Equipment and dimensions

• Still: 16 liters,

• Column: 7 liters,

• Inside diameter: 28 cm,

• Overall height: approx. 65 cm.

Powerful counterflow cooler with 1,5 m jacket length. In this cooler, a thinner tube (core) runs through a jacket tube. The distillate flows through the soul. Cooling water is passed in countercurrent between the soul and the mantle. Due to the spiral water flow, the flow between the core and the jacket is turbulent even at low flow speeds. This causes an effective heat transfer from the distillate to the cooling water. Because of this and because of the comfortable length of the cooler, only moderate cooling water is required

This system is also excellent for the distillation of hydrolates and essential oils, as well as suitable for fruit and herbal spirit production using alcohol vapor distillation.

Notes on using the still and column:
The use of a mash strainer is recommended for liquids with solid components. In addition, a boil-proof tea towel should be placed on the mash sieve when mashing to prevent the mash from burning if the residual starch is insufficiently saccharified. If you want to fill beyond the bottom of the column (column as a distillation pot extension), the column is placed on the 90% -filled saucer. The profile seal is drawn onto the bottom of the column so that the short lip of the seal runs approximately in the middle of the bulge on the column. The long lip runs below the bulge. The column is then placed straight and pressed down evenly. When the column is attached, the column sieve is filled up to a maximum of 2 cm below the rim. If there is a leak, the turnbuckles should be tightened a little. When the column is attached, the column sieve is filled up to a maximum of 2 cm below the rim. Since the column is still about 3 cm immersed in the burner, when placing the column there should not be more than 8 liters in the burner. The capacity of the still is therefore not the sum of the volumes from the burner and column (23 liters) but about 1 liters less. With the column as a burner extension, the system has a capacity of around 21 liters. When filling, you have to take into account that the mash expands when heated and may also foam. When filling, you should always be below the maximum filling quantity. If the column pot is to be operated as a column, it must remain free. Below the sieve tray of the column there must still be at least 2 cm between the liquid surface and the sieve tray so that the vapor formation between the liquid surface and the sieve is still possible. Depending on the application, the column can also be filled with fruits or herbs. If you only want to burn once, you should definitely leave the column free to ensure sufficient separation performance for pre-middle and post-run. Finally, the thicker seal is put over the edge of the column and the helmet is put on. The stainless steel toggle fasteners are then hooked over the lid edge of the firing pot and tensioned with the lever.
