Convenient opening tank
The hawkSTILL AABRATEK 2.0 still is equipped with a tank with a removable lid, which significantly enhances user comfort. Wide access to the interior allows thorough and convenient cleaning of the vessel.
The opening design also makes it easy to pour liquids safely and comfortably, both before starting the process and after it ends. This practical solution will be especially appreciated by users who regularly operate the device and care about hygiene and ergonomics.
Tri-Clamp connections
All column components are joined with Tri-Clamp connections, which makes it easy to modify, expand and reconfigure for different types of distillation, depending on the desired result. The use of a high-efficiency electric module ensures comfortable, controlled operation without the need for external heat sources.
Neoprene insulation for the Convex 60 L still pot
Dedicated solution – safety and comfort during distillation. Robust insulation made of flexible neoprene, designed specifically for the 60 L Convex pot with an opening lid. Precise cutouts ensure full access to the handles, tap and thermometer port without limiting their functionality. Easy to install, remove and clean.
What makes our hawkSTILL Aabratek 2.0 still stand out?
- Aabratek head with an innovative pool design – Aabratek stills are among the most precise systems, combining ease of operation with high end-result quality. By introducing an innovative pool design, we have further refined the process on devices of this type!
- High efficiency – the design of this modular still with a 60-liter vessel and a column of the appropriate diameter enables efficient distillation of large volumes of liquid (it is recommended not to exceed 90% of capacity).
- High quality – this still combines the benefits of stainless steel (INOX) and a durable polymer, tightness, precision of joints and durability of the individual components of the set.
- Column with 60.3 mm OD – optimizes process performance. The column is divided into two modules: the catalyst filled with copper spring packings purifies the distillate from sulfur compounds, and the second section filled with stainless steel scrubbers allows you to achieve higher strength and purity of the distillate.
- Opening vessel with a domed (Convex type) lid – the vessel is closed with a tight domed lid, which allows any potential foaming of the wash or mash to proceed safely, increases the stability of the entire column and positively affects the whole distillation process. The removable lid makes the vessel easier to use and clean.
- Complete set – the kit includes a vessel with a domed lid, a column, an Aabratek head, a drain ball valve, 3 electronic thermometers with probes, 2 hoses, a connector for water supply, 3 sets of Tri-Clamp clamps with gaskets, stainless and copper packing (for the catalyst), PTFE sealing tape, mounting components and a manual.
