This is my vodka machine, with its two look cool bits, the glass section with a perf plate and the copper coiled section at the top. Upgraded from two inch to three. Its only putting out the same as my 2 inch that was a freak at 1.5 ltrs an hour in hearts, 700ml head and tails per hour. It is a 1200mm copper packed Colum. 2400w element.
Why can’t my 3 inch out do it. mmm.
I put the head section on the 100ltr striping boiler and can achieve 6ltrs / hr at 100% with a 3600w element. I usually just run at 80%. Charge the 50 ltr boiler with 40% and insert the tower onto the head and continually run a 96% product. The % is there but can only achieve 1.5 ltr/hr obviously doing cuts, thought I may get better than that.
KISS not being adhered to.
I think I may be over engineering this one with centring plates acting as perf plates. (trying to get a more neutral) It floods to easily in the glass section, this could be holes to small, to many plates in the wrong area of the tower.
Is it worth making 4 perf plates with of set product returns over say 200 mm. put these at the base tower, stack it then with mesh, glass section with perf plate for show, packed top section with mesh.
OR
Put glass section with the plates at the boiler end an stack to the top with mesh.
OR
Your input here. Cheers.
