Baldur convex 18 L modular still

Baldur - symbol of goodness and beauty, favourite of all the gods, the most beautiful and noble among the Aesir. Thanks to this set, the distillates obtained have a very good flavour and a beautiful aroma. The Baldur convex modular still is a new version featuring a pot with a dome lid, and revised container temperature readout location and column lagging.

Baldur convex modular still:

• 360^o inspection glass - it is made of boron-silicate glass resistant to high temperature and enables visual inspection of the distillation process.
• Possibility of flavouring - the inspection glass offers the possibility of flavouring the distillate during the process with any herbs or fruit peel/rind.
• For sugar- and cereal-based drinks - Baldur convex will work well for preparing various distillates.
• Complete, high-quality kit made of stainless steel - by purchasing the Baldur convex 18 L modular still, you receive a high-quality distillation kit that will serve you for many years. 
• Column filling included in the price - the set contains copper prismatic springs and stainless filling, the use of which has a beneficial effect on the flavour and aroma of the final product.
• Column cladding reduces heat losses - this enables conducting the process in lower ambient temperature.

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 set includes:

Container - made of stainless steel

Structural characteristics:

• capacity - 18 L 
• 2 handles for moving around
• 5 clamping brackets
• opening intended for a thermometer probe in the container wall
• cover with a built-in silicone gasket
• rigid dome lid with opening for column installation

The new, conical shape of the container lid allows for potential foaming of the batch or mash, without the risk of contamination of the column and its filling. The dome shape also increases the stability of the entire column, even with tall still, which also translates into increased stability of the entire distillation process. The new lid form is inspired by the classic 'swan-neck' alembics, providing an eye-pleasing detail.

Changing the position of the thermometer opening in the container gives you greater control over the temperature of the substance being cooked inside the pot - this is important not only in the distillation process but also when mashing grain, pasteurising or even heating food.

250 mm column connector -made of stainless steel.

The connector may perform the function of a catalytic filter, as it enables using a filling that increases the purity of the distillate obtained. The best effect is achieved when using prismatic copper springs. The task of the copper is to adsorb volatile sulphur compounds that provide the distillates with unpleasant smell and have a negative impact on their flavour.

Structural characteristics:

• module height - 250 mm
• external diameter of the module pipe - 48 mm
• ending with screw connectors
• possibility of using a filling

500 mm column connector - made of stainless steel.

It is a still module fitted to increase the height of the distillation column, filled with stainless steel wire, which perfectly 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

Inspection glass - a stainless element of still structure, with boron-silicate tempered glass and lens gaskets (2 pcs) resistant to high temperature and alcohol.

The inspection glass over the filling enables inspecting the column and such an adjustment of reception valve that the column is nearly flooded, which ensures the highest effectiveness of the process.

The inspection glass can also be used for infusing your liquor with your favourite herbs or fruit, allowing you to produce homemade gin, for example.

Structural characteristics:

• module height - 100 mm
• external diameter - 46 mm

Head - Liebig condenser - made of stainless steel Installed on the top of the distillation column. A classic Liebig cooler design.

The lower reception from the condenser allows quicker and more accurate reception of heads in the distillation process. The set enables high condenser performance with low water consumption.

Structural characteristics:

• cooling section height - 590 mm
• pipe external diameter - 48 mm
• water connection - threaded 1/8” coupler for a hose valve/connector
• thermometer slot.

The set also includes:

• two electronic thermometers installed in the frame. They enable direct and constant control over the process.
• 5 m plastified PVC hose - for connecting water, featuring a quick coupling than enables easy connection with a tap.
• 1 m silicone hose - for collecting the distillate, approved for contact with alcohol
• 1/8” ball valve
• straight threaded connector
• rods for installing the inspection glass - 4 pcs
• gaskets - 4 pcs
• a set of mounting bolts and nuts - 8 pcs
• stainless support for the filling
• prismatic copper springs - 0.5 L
• stainless filling - 12 pcs
• polyethylene lagging of the column
• PTFE tape
• user manual

Kit height: about 133.5 cm

Water consumption during the process: about 30 L / 1 h.

Please note: The distillation process should be carried out under supervision.
