Commercial Hybrid Pot Still | For Brandy, Whiskey & High-Purity Vodka
Product Overview
The LENO TANK Commercial Hybrid Pot Still is a professional-grade distillation system engineered for versatility and excellence. It masterfully combines the rich flavor development of a traditional copper pot still with the efficiency and control of a modern column still. This design empowers distillers to produce a full spectrum of premium spirits—from complex, aromatic brandies and whiskeys to ultra-pure neutral spirits for vodka and gin—all within a single, robust system. Built for commercial-scale batches, it delivers consistent, high-quality output while meeting rigorous international safety and production standards.
Core Technical Features & Specifications
Hybrid Copper-Stainless Construction: Features a 316L stainless steel boiler with a copper-lined interior. The copper catalytically removes unwanted sulfur compounds (e.g., DMS), refining flavor, while ensuring uniform heat distribution for a gentle, controlled boil.
Advanced Precision Control System: Operated by a PLC-based controller with a touchscreen interface. Precisely manages boiler temperature (steam/electric/gas), condenser cooling, and the critical reflux ratio, allowing for custom distillation profiles and repeatable results.
High-Capacity, Efficient Design: Available in capacities from 200L to 5000L. Equipped with dual condenser systems (water-cooled and air-cooled) to handle high vapor loads, achieving distillation efficiencies up to 95% ABV for neutral spirits.
Built-in Safety & Global Compliance: Includes pressure relief valves (0.3 bar), overheat protection, and grounding kits. Engineered to meet CE, ASME BPVC, and TTB standards for commercial operation worldwide.
Engineered for Easy Maintenance: Features quick-release unions for easy disassembly and cleaning. The durable electroplated copper lining resists corrosion from acidic washes common in brandy production.
Primary Applications & Spirit Profiles
Brandy & Cognac: Distills wine or fruit mashes. The copper pot enhances ester retention, crucial for developing the sophisticated, aromatic profiles characteristic of fine aged brandies.
Whiskey & Bourbon: Perfect for processing grain mashes. The hybrid design allows for the controlled separation and retention of desirable congeners, forming the foundation for smooth, complex spirits destined for aging.
Vodka & Gin: Capable of producing high-purity (96% ABV) neutral spirit through high reflux ratios. The column is also ideal for vapor infusion of botanicals in premium gin production.
Rum & Tequila: Effectively handles molasses, sugarcane juice, or agave nectar. Adjustable reflux gives distillers precise control over ester retention for flavorful rums or a cleaner tequila profile.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why is copper essential in the boiler for whiskey production?
A: Copper acts as a catalyst. It reacts with sulfur compounds (like hydrogen sulfide) formed during fermentation, converting them into solid, non-volatile copper sulfides. This process removes off-flavors and harshness, resulting in a smoother, more refined spirit.
Q: Is this system designed for batch or continuous distillation?
A: This Hybrid Pot Still is optimized as a sophisticated batch system, providing maximum control over each distillation run for crafting distinct spirits. For high-volume needs, optional equipment can enable semi-continuous operation.
Q: How do I optimize the still for different spirit types?
A: The key is controlling the reflux ratio via the PLC. Use a low reflux ratio (e.g., 1:1) to preserve flavorful congeners for whiskey or rum. Use a high reflux ratio (e.g., 5:1 or higher) to strip out impurities and achieve high purity for vodka or neutral spirits.
Q: What is the recommended method for cleaning the copper components?
A: To safely remove oxidation without damaging the copper, use a mild citric acid solution (5-10%). Follow with a thorough rinse using deionized or distilled water. Avoid harsh abrasives on the electroplated surface.
