500L PROFESSIONAL Whisky Still

500L PROFESSIONAL Whisky Still

Introducing the 500L PROFESSIONAL Whisky Still, a high-quality, high-performance piece of equipment designed for distilling gin, whisky and rum. It is particularly suitable for working with grain washes, other fermented liquids and molasses.

This model stands out for its professional construction using 2.5 mm thick hammered copper and its comprehensive instrumentation, which allows different parameters to be monitored throughout the distillation process. Its large capacity and equipment make it a suitable solution for professional distilling operations.

⚗️ Capacity and yield

This model has a total capacity of 550 litres and a usable boiler capacity of 500 litres. The approximate distillation time is 6 to 8 hours.

Based on an initial wash with an alcohol strength of 10% ABV, the estimated yield is between 10% and 15% of the usable capacity, equivalent to approximately 50–75 litres of distillate per run.

The final quantity obtained and the duration of each distillation may vary depending on the characteristics of the wash and the operating conditions.

🔨 Professional hammered copper construction

The still is made from 2.5 mm thick hammered copper sheet, a material traditionally used in distillation equipment. Its hammered finish gives it an elegant and distinctive appearance. It features bright brass handles and nuts. All joints are soldered to provide a solid, strong and durable construction.

🌡️ Instrumentation and distillation control

The equipment is fitted with several measuring instruments at different points, allowing the main variables to be monitored throughout the distillation process:

🌡️ Two large thermometers (0–120 °C): one is installed in the still head to monitor the temperature of the gases and vapours as they pass through, while the other is fitted to the condenser to monitor the cooling system temperature.

🌡️ Vertical thermometer in the boiler (0–120 °C): allows the temperature of the wash to be monitored during heating and distillation.

🔧 Pressure gauge in the boiler: allows the internal pressure of the equipment to be monitored.

🍶 Alcoholmeter with thermometer: allows the alcohol strength of the distillate to be measured and its temperature to be monitored. A dedicated alcoholmeter stand is also included for convenient use.

🛡️ Safety and maintenance features

The 500L PROFESSIONAL Whisky Still incorporates several features designed to facilitate operation and maintenance:

🔒 Safety valve in the boiler: fitted to help protect the equipment against excessive pressure.

🔩 Brass connections between the boiler and still head: provide the connection and help ensure a secure seal between both components.

🚪 Access door in the boiler: made from stainless steel, it provides access to the interior for cleaning and maintenance.

💧 2.5-inch drain pipe with valve: allows any remaining liquid to be drained from the boiler. It is made from stainless steel or brass.

🔥 Professional burner and included supports

The equipment includes a professional gas burner with a diameter of 70 cm, compatible with butane and propane. It can also be supplied for use with natural gas on request.

In addition, iron support stands for the boiler and condenser are supplied, providing stability and allowing the different components of the equipment to be correctly positioned.

🥃 A professional still for gin, whisky and rum

The 500L PROFESSIONAL Whisky Still is designed for those looking for a large-capacity, high-performance still for producing gin, whisky and rum. Its 2.5 mm hammered copper construction, 500-litre usable capacity and comprehensive instrumentation make it a professional, fully equipped solution for a variety of distillation processes.
