Immerse yourself in the world of fine distilling with our practical convex kit, offering not only exceptional quality and unique style, but also the ability to expand or swap components as your needs change.
The 30 classic Convex still is a professional, modular still with an 30 L container, two clarifiers and a condenser. It is a complete set made of high-quality stainless steel (INOX), intended for use on all types of cooktops.
The product is distinguished by the following features, among others:
The still is equipped with an 30 L container (with recommended filling level of up to 90% of capacity and not less than 25%), and a condenser with 2 clarifiers and 2 thermometers, allowing distillation to be carried out without any additional equipment. This kit is suitable for use on various heat sources. Two precision thermometers with probes facilitate temperature control – inside the container and in the clarifier. Plasticised PVC hose with coupling enables quick connection of water supply and drainage. The silicone hose is used for collecting the distillate.
The dome-shaped container lid (convex type) is an innovative design that ensures even condensation of the vapours, resulting in a distillate with excellent flavour and aroma. The shape of the lid allows for potential foaming of the batch or mash, without the risk of contamination of the column and its filling.
The dome shape, inspired by classic 'swan-neck' alembics, increases the stability of the entire column, even with tall still, which also translates into increased stability of the entire distillation process. The dome lid has only a main hole for mounting the column.
The application of stainless steel from reliable suppliers guarantees that your distillate will be of high quality - pure, free from contamination and unwanted aromas.
Our container is not only durable, but also easy to clean, so your distilling experience will always be top-notch.
The clarifiers enable producing a cleaner distillate with higher alcohol content. They perform several important functions, including preventing heavier fractions, which are undesirable in the final product, from entering from the container. They also constitute space where repeated simple distillation takes place, which enables obtaining purer distillate, while at the same time reducing the water consumption in the condenser.
Distilling has never been so easy! Our abundant experience, our drive to look for novel and improved solutions, and our focus on high quality all allows us to offer proven specialist equipment for distilling.
The container and lid are fully compatible with the distillation modules available from BROWIN - when you have this still, you can upgrade it with components such as connectors, refluxes, inspection glasses, condensers or even side receivers.
