Still module – side reception - OLM

Check out our new module for Browin stills. The OLM module consists of a receiver, an inspection glass and a precision valve. It is an element compatible with the other modules available in Browin’s offer.

• Maximum possible purification of the distillate - the OLM module enables precise separation of the various components, ensuring the purity and high quality of the distillation products obtained.
• High reception rate – the module allows obtaining high quality distillate in a short time. Reception rate reaches up to 1 L/h.
• Precision valve for reception adjustment – the OLM module features a valve that allows precise control over distillate reception.
• High interchangeability of the distillate in the ‘pool' - an optimised pool capacity of 25 mL ensures continuous high quality of the final product.
• ‘Flashlight’ inspection glass included - the inspection glass enables checking reflux effectiveness and making sure that the distillate returns to the middle of the filling.

OLM system means lowered reception, in which the distillate receipts are controlled instead of heating and cooling.

The OLM module is usually installed together with an Aabratek or Thor head, about 30-40 cm under the head. 

At the very top of the column, in the head and directly below it – in the pool, among others – the lightest substances accumulate, i.e., higher alcohols, tails, fusels and esters. Meanwhile, 30 cm below, more or less at the height of the reception cup in our OLM, pure ethyl alcohol accumulates in the filling, received through the lowered side receiver.

OLM works only in combination with prismatic springs – only this filling is characterised by HEPT that is appropriate for obtaining the sufficient number of theoretical steeps between LM and OLM receivers.

 Installation of the OLM module:

• put the filling support* into the centre of the connector so that it rests against the side receiver cup.
• install the inspection glass at the top of the connector.
• pour the prismatic springs** over the whole setup (do not try to compact them!).
• connect the OLM module to the column and the condenser using the fixing bolts.

* The support and the springs are not included in the set and need to be purchased separately.

The distillation method employing the OLM module differs slightly from the standard one as it is necessary to control two receivers.

Structural characteristics:

• module height - 370 mm
• width - 120 mm

CAUTION!

Every country has its own legal regulations governing the manufacturing of ethyl alcohol, wine products, and spirits, introducing them onto the market, and regarding sanctions for non-compliance.
