Convenient boiler with removable lid
The hawkSTILL AABRATEK 2.0 still features a boiler with a removable lid, greatly improving day-to-day convenience. The wide opening gives you easy, thorough cleaning access.
The opening design also makes transferring liquids safe and comfortable—both before you start and after you finish the run. It’s a practical solution you’ll appreciate if you use the unit regularly and value hygiene and ergonomics.
Tri-Clamp connections
All column sections are joined with Tri-Clamp fittings, making it simple to modify, expand, and reconfigure for different types of distillation depending on the result you want. The efficient electric module delivers comfortable, controlled operation with no need for external heat sources.
Neoprene insulation for the Convex 60 L boiler
Purpose-built for safety and comfort during distillation. Rugged insulation made from flexible neoprene, designed specifically for the 60 L Convex boiler with a removable lid. Precise cutouts ensure full access to the handles, tap, and thermometer port without compromising functionality. Easy to fit, remove, and clean.
Glass–bead–blasted column
A modern surface treatment that gently smooths the steel with high-pressure micro glass beads. The result? A deep, satin-matte finish that truly stands out!
Benefits of glass–bead blasting:
- No sharp edges or burrs — the process gently smooths the surface, removing sharp ends left after cutting or welding.
- Greater corrosion resistance — a smoother surface reduces micro-crevices and improves stainless steel’s resistance. Ideal for home and professional use!
- Premium aesthetics — the matte column finish gives the unit a professional, modern look.
- Longer service life — the refined surface layer helps the steel retain its properties and appearance through years of intensive use.
What sets our hawkSTILL Aabratek 2.0 apart?
- Aabratek head with an innovative collection pool design — Aabratek reflux stills are among the most precise systems, combining ease of use with exceptional final quality. By redesigning the takeoff reservoir, we’ve further refined performance on this style of still!
- High throughput — this modular setup with a 60-liter boiler and a properly sized column enables efficient distillation of larger volumes (we recommend not exceeding 90% of capacity).
- High quality — the still combines the benefits of stainless steel (INOX) with durable polymer components, offering tightness, precise joints, and long-lasting parts throughout the kit.
- 60.3 mm OD column — optimizes process performance. The column is split into two modules: a catalyst packed with copper springs that scrub sulfur compounds from the vapor, and a second section packed with stainless scrubbers to achieve higher proof and cleaner product.
- Boiler with domed (Convex) lid — the boiler seals with a tight domed lid that safely handles any foaming of the wash or mash, improves overall column stability, and benefits the entire process. The removable lid makes the boiler easier to use and clean.
- Complete kit — includes the boiler with domed lid, column, Aabratek LM head, drain ball valve, 3 digital thermometers with probes, 2 hoses, a water-supply connector, 3 Tri-Clamp sets with gaskets, stainless and copper packing (for the catalyst), PTFE sealing tape, mounting hardware, and a user manual.
