Traditional vodka is made of potato, corn, barley and rye as raw materials, distilling alcohol semen with alcohol content up to 96% by distillation method, then making the alcohol flow through a container filled with a large number of charcoal to absorb impurities in the liquor, and finally diluting it to 40-50% by distilled water.
Vodka is a distilled, highly refined product, which is usually distilled in a tower (reflux), but can also be distilled in a pot.
Tower distillation can get more pure wine, because they are essentially re distilled once, so it is not necessary to use activated carbon filter (activated carbon) for further purification. Can distillation is a crude product containing flavor and fragrance substances, which need to be removed by activated carbon filter and / or additional redistillation treatment.
The continuous distiller is used in vodka distillation, which is also called tower distiller. The definition of tower distiller is
very simple. The internal structure is divided by many distillation plates, with 15 layers less and 42 layers more. They are
generally cylindrical in shape.
distillers can also be shaped into various shapes, however, they share some similar characteristics:
(1) heat source - the tower type distiller is heated at the bottom, generally through the injection of steam or through the heat exchanger driven by steam, which is called "reboiler".
(2) three ways to promote reflux. First, some distillers are equipped with top condensers. Second, the alcohol solution in some distillers will be preheated through pipes between distillation plates. Third, some distillers pour the obtained spirits back into distillers to promote reflux.
(3) analyzer and rectifier - continuous distillation includes two stages similar to batch distillation. First, the volatile part
is separated from most of the water and non-volatile substances. The volatile part is then rectified. Generally, each stage is carried out in their respective towers. The first stage is carried out in a tower called "separator", and the second stage is
called "distiller". This can also be done in a large single tower, just imagine a distiller on top of a separator.
Vodka distill pot can use steam or electrical heating ,the pot can equipped with the agitator and necessary fittings.
