A compact 100L column distilling system for pilot production, recipe development, training, and small craft distilleries. It combines a manageable batch scale with column separation and a procurement path toward a larger future system.
100L
130L
At pilot scale, repeatability depends on clear charge volumes, stable heating, condenser control, and easy observation. A compact layout should also make cleaning and recipe comparison efficient.

| Distilling Unit | 100L Still Pot + Copper Head | Red copper TP2 + SUS304 jacket/structure |
| Column System | Copper Column with Bubble Plates | 5 plates(Customizable plate layers per spirit type); plate cleaning + drainage device |
| Reflux Control | Dephlegmator | SUS304; DN15 tri-clamp cooling |
| Condensing | Main Condenser | SUS304; DN15 tri-clamp cooling |
| Flavor Module | Gin Basket (Optional) | 8.5L; 0.2mm filter basket |
| Alcohol Outlet | Wine Mouth | U-shaped outlet; hydrometer observation overflow |
| Cleaning | CIP Pump | Sanitary SUS304 centrifugal (explosion-proof) |
| Control | Electrical Control Cabinet | Temp display, pump/light/agitator control, E-stop |
| Piping | Pipelines, valves, fittings, supports | Client connects steam, power, water |
Adjustable reflux and copper contact can be evaluated against the desired spirit profile and proof range.
Build the equipment sequence around raw material preparation, fermentation, distillation, condensation, receiving, cleaning, and storage. The 100L scale should be evaluated against batch rhythm, spirit profile, utilities, and operator workflow.

METO supports configuration review, layout planning, utility coordination, fabrication, testing, installation guidance, and long-term operating support for 100L Column Distilling Equipment.
Configuration based on brewing workflows, not generic tank lists.
Layouts, utilities lists, and integration notes for your site.
Better cost control, faster response, clearer accountability.
Training, spare parts guidance, and expansion planning support.
Malt Handling → milling & transfer preparation
Brewhouse → mash/lautering + boil/whirlpool
Cooling & Transfer → heat exchange to fermentation temp
Fermentation → jacketed conical fermenters for stability
Distillation → Pot Still / Column Still
Conditioning (Optional) → BBT / maturation
CIP → clean-in-place hygiene standardization
Packaging (Future-ready) → keg/bottle/can integration
For a 100L pilot system, prioritize compact installation, low material commitment, clear sight-glass observation, easy operator training, cleaning access, and data that can guide a later scale-up.
Use this scale for R&D, distilling education, botanical trials, tasting-room releases, and recipe validation where several controlled test runs matter more than daily output.
Review capacity, feedstock, target spirit, heating, cooling, cleaning, receiver layout, utilities, and future expansion before confirming the equipment configuration.
Yes. The still pot uses steam heating with a SUS304 steam jacket designed for 0.2MPa working pressure.
Yes. The number of column plates can be customized according to your product and process requirements.
Yes. The still pot is equipped with an agitator and an explosion-proof motor (0.37kW).
Client only connects water source, power source, and steam supply. Confirm utility details during project planning.
Send the test batch volume, target spirit and proof, available heating source, cooling water, room dimensions, electrical standard, training needs, and intended scale-up path.
We can design the 500L system to be packaging-ready (keg/bottle/can integration) to avoid future rework.
