My perforated column build....

[TJM]

Hey fellas been a while since i posted so i thought id show you all my new build.

Im still half way there with it but should be great when im done. The still is a 5 perforated plate 4 inch column with shotgun reflux and product condenser. Reflux
condenser is 14 1/2" tubes 100mm long and the product shotgun is 7 1/2" tubes 350mm long in a 3" jacket. Plate holes are 1.5mm and about 260 on each plate.
The sight glasses are going to be 2" triclamps. Each plate is going to be valved so i can change the still mid run to be a 1 - 5 plate still

Any input or comment much appreciated. cheers..

Just a heads up since you have been around much. I don't know if you are aware of problems when posting photos on the internet, but just in case you don't know, have a look through this thread. viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1386

Keep the photos coming, just be careful about it. ;-)

That is a lot of work.
I envy your skill and research.

I've started collecting odds and ends to build one of these in the hope my capabilities and understanding catch up in the future.
:text-thankyoublue:

We kind of take it for granted when the copper porn kings throw these columns together, but when a regular member does it, it kinda knocks you off your feet.

[TJM]

Panda they are a fair bit of work and i did research a lot but i think anyone is more than capable to build one hey. Keep collecting bits and pieces, i did for ages.

[R-sole]

Nice work for sure. :-D

[SBB]

Nice job TJ......you should be very happy with the way it preforms.

[bentstick]

Now I see it, nice build you have going! They do take some time and fore thought, but a very much worth the effort!!

[TJM]

thanks for all the comments guys it really pushes me to do more .. iv ordered some sightglass off 5Star so hopefully ill be getting them shortlyl. but next i will start doing my downcomers, but they are going to be different for the plate disabling valves.

[R-sole]
