The 2400 Litre Double Walled Stainless Steel Stripping Still is a heavy-duty distillation system designed for high-volume separation of ethanol from fermented mashes, making it ideal for the first stage of alcohol production (stripping run). Engineered for efficiency and safety, the still features a double-wall boiler for uniform heating, a large-diameter column for high vapor throughput, and a robust condenser system to maximize alcohol recovery. Constructed from food-grade 316L stainless steel, it withstands the corrosive effects of acidic mashes and ensures compliance with industrial and food safety standards.
Massive Processing Capacity:
The 2400L jacketed boiler (inner wall: 3mm stainless steel; outer wall: 4mm) handles large fermentation batches, producing up to 400L of 40% ABV distillate per hour during stripping runs.
Dual-Zone Heating System:
Electric heating elements (24kW total) or steam jacket compatibility (0.5-1 bar) provide rapid heat-up (30 minutes to boiling) and precise temperature control via PID controller.
Efficient Vapor Management:
A 300mm diameter packed column (structured packing or Raschig rings) increases vapor-liquid contact, improving stripping efficiency to 92% alcohol recovery from 8% ABV mash.
Heavy-Duty Condenser:
A shell-and-tube condenser with 19mm copper tubes ensures rapid vapor condensation, even at maximum throughput. Water flow is adjustable via a manual valve for energy optimization.
Safety First Design:
Overpressure relief valve (set to 0.5 bar), emergency stop button, and thermal insulation on the boiler jacket prevent operator burns. Grounding terminals mitigate static electricity risks.
Industrial Alcohol Production: Processes molasses, grain mashes, or potato slurries to produce fuel ethanol, denatured alcohol, or neutral spirits for blending.
Biodiesel Preprocessing: Strips methanol from biodiesel reaction mixtures, enabling re-use of the solvent and meeting ASTM D6751 standards.
Large-Scale Spirits Production: Serves as the first stage in multi-step distillation (stripping run), followed by a rectifying still for high-purity spirits like vodka or gin.
Wastewater Treatment: Distills spent wash from breweries or distilleries to recover reusable water and reduce organic waste load.
Q: What is the difference between a stripping still and a rectifying still?
A: A stripping still focuses on high-volume alcohol recovery (lower purity, ~40-70% ABV), while a rectifying still achieves higher purity (90-96% ABV) through additional reflux and column packing.
Q: Can the still handle solids in the mash?
A: Yes—the boiler includes a false bottom with 2mm mesh to prevent solids from blocking heating elements, though pre-filtration of coarse solids (e.g., grain husks) is recommended.
Q: How much energy does it consume per batch?
A: Electric models consume ~24kWh per hour at full load; steam models use ~300kg of steam per hour, depending on mash starting temperature.
Q: Is the still suitable for continuous operation?
A: Yes—with a continuous feed pump and level control system, the still can operate 24/7, making it ideal for industrial-scale production facilities.
