Modular still 18 L Hugin

Hugin - the name of one of the ravens of Odin, the highest of the Ace gods. Hugin means 'Think' so don't think too long and choose this distiller.

Hugin modular distiller:

• Cooler with 2 sedimentation tanks - a distillation module that separates the heavier fractions, undesirable in the target distillate, while allowing it to be enriched in volatile compounds and essential oils.
• Suitable for fruit- and grain-based settings - the Hugin distiller is perfect for flavoured drinks.
• High distillate purity - reflux causes some of the evaporated liquid to return to the fill, resulting in a high quality distillate.
• A complete, high-quality kit made of stainless steel – When you buy the Baldur 18 L modular distiller, you get a high-quality distillation set that will last for years.
• Column filling included in the price - the set includes copper prismatic springs and stainless steel filling; their use has a beneficial effect on the taste and aroma of the final product.

This modular distillation system was created in order to meet the requirements of the most demanding customers. Thanks to the applications of standardising connections and innovative system elements, this system can be used as a basis for configuring various types of stills. The modular assembly allows expansion or different arrangement of the system. 

The kit includes:

• Container - made of stainless steel.

Structural characteristics:

- capacity - 18 L

- 2 handles for moving around

- 4 or 5 clamping brackets, depending on the production batch*

- cover with a built-in silicone gasket

- installation openings in the cover, intended for a thermometer, a probe and still modules

*The number of clampings does not affect the tightness and operation of the distiller.

• 500 mm column connector – made of stainless steel.

The connector may perform the function of a rectifier, as it enables using a filling that increases the purity of the distillate obtained.

Structural characteristics:

- module height - 500 mm

- external diameter of the module pipe - 48 mm

- ending with screw connectors

- possibility of using a filling.

• Reflux - double spiral - made of stainless steel.

It acts as a deflegmator, mounted just below the head of the distillation column.

The module consists of two cooling mini-spirals.

By adjusting the water flow through the reflux, some of the vapours imbued with the most volatile ingredient are let into the main cooler. What becomes condensed in the “reflux” chamber is led to filling for repeated evaporation. With equipment that is set up properly, this enables collecting very pure distillate, having the desired flavour.

Structural characteristics:

- cooling section height - 100 mm

- external pipe diameter - 48 mm

- ending with a screw connector

- 2 cooling mini-spirals, made of 8 mm pipe

- water connection – threaded 1/8” coupler for a hose valve/connector

• Head with two sedimentation tanks and a cooler - made of stainless steel.

Sedimentation tanks functions:

- securing against penetration by foam or batch transfers from the tank to the distillate collected.

- collecting heavier fractions that are undesirable in the final product.

The sedimentation tank also constitutes a space where the repeated simple distillation takes place. Such a solution enables obtaining purer distillate, while at the same time reducing the water consumption in the cooler.

Structural characteristics:

- cooling section height- 280 mm

- external pipe diameter - 48 mm

- module ending with a screw connection

- cooler in the form of a spiral, made of 8 mm pipe

- water connection – threaded 1/8” coupler for a hose valve/connector

- slot for a needle probe thermometer.

The kit also includes:

• Two thermometers – an analogue one placed in the container and an electronic one placed in the frame at the top of the column. They enable direct and constant control over the process.

•  Long 5 m plasticized PVC hose – for connecting water, featuring a quick coupling than enables easy connection with a tap.

•  1 m silicone hose – for receiving the distillate, safe for use in contact with alcohol.

• 1/8 inch ball valves - 3 pcs.

• plug connector

• threaded connector - 3 pcs.

• controller probe key

• column attachment cover

• gaskets - 3 pcs.

• screws and assembly nuts - 12 pcs. 

• mesh filling support

• prismatic copper springs - 1 pc.

• teflon tape

• user manual.

Kit width: about 100,5 cm

Water consumption during the process: about 27 L / 1 h.

Caution!: The distillation process must be carried out under supervision.
