Hey CHEROKEE,

That's all :snooty:

Did you read the bit about the skylight in the kitchen so he can use the packed section ?

Next month I'm getting a shipment of smaller 60L boilers like our 100L models, they have all the same gear on them too :happy-partydance:

Here's a bit of a description

4" still mount
6" fill port
3" sight glass
2" spare port
2 x 2" element ports
1 x thermometer port & 3" dial thermometer that measures wash temp.
2" centre bottom drain with butterfly valve

I'm also pretty sure I had M12 thread installed in the feet to allow for people to fit their own castors for wheeling it around, or even just insert M12 adjustable feet if your shed floor is like mine.

Here's a couple of crappy pics of one taken at the factory a couple of weeks ago, of course once they arrive I'll get some better pics up here for you all.

With the 100 and the 60 liter boilers, is that the amount you can put in the boiler to distill or is it the total capacity (does that make sense)? Also what price is the 60 liter boiler please

I asked that question awhile ago.
It's the amount of wash you can fit in the boiler. The 100ltr is actually 120ltr total capacity. So would suggest the 60 would be 75/80ltrs total capacity.

thank you

[MacStill]

what price is the 60 liter boiler please

It depends how you want it set up mate, but bare bones as in the pic they're $1250..... with 2 x 2400w elements and guards (not wired) $1450

Cheers.

[MacStill]

OK 60L boilers have arrived, they're so cute I might keep one in the house :))

Pics coming SOON!

Can we have a pic with 60l beside 100 for size reference Mac?

Edit saw it in another thread all good :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[MacStill]

The only one I've got at the moment is the one I posted last night, my own 6" rig on the left is on the 100L :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I'm going to be taking a few more other pics once time permits. :smile:

[1 2many]

I now have new wall paper. That is a good shot you can look at that for ages, Cheers :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[peterhobit]

Wow, you could enter that in a Dr Who episode, "Invasion of the Boilers" "Eeee vaporate" "Eeeee vaporate"

What are the dimensions of both boolers?

Specifically height

Do both have a 4" still mount?

What are the dimensions of both boolers?

Specifically height

Do both have a 4" still mount?

The heights of them are, 100L (working capacity) is 805mm & the 60L (working capacity) is 715mm

Both have 4" center still mount & a spare 2" port on top that can be used as a still mount too.

Cheers.

Mac, any talk of anything bigger? ie to take a full charge from a 200L wash/mash?

I can have boilers built any size mate, no problem there.... 200L & 300L we have already supplied here in oz :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I think I need to win lotto and put in a big order. That or stop collecting cars and bikes. Nah, it's going to have to be lotto.

[peterhobit]

Questions with the 60 liter boilers, does it matter if you have the 2 inch butterfly drain valve up against the boiler or does it have to be at the end of the 2 inch bend (pipe) I clamped mine to the boiler assuming you don't want the dead space with the wash in it but notice all the photos have the valve on the end of the bend. Is it because you don't want the seal on the butterfly valve getting too hot? What do people clamp to the (same) 2 inch bend to connect it to a hose? Noticed a 1.5 inch plate with hose barb is there a 2 inch plate with a hose barb? Also there isn't threaded holes in the feet to connect wheels, so I guess that isn't part of the specs.

[MacStill]

You can have the valve where ever you want, it wont hurt it.... I put the valve where it is for ease of access.

The threaded feet for wheels was a bad idea, people started complaining about the boiler being easy to tip on wheels so I deleted that option.

Cheers.
