How distillation systems are reshaping the future of beer brewing
In today's booming craft beer equipment industry, distillation systems are not only an extension of traditional beer production, but also the key to brand differentiation and profit growth. By combining beer and distillation technology, brewers can not only produce beer, but also expand the spirits, flavor extracts and other high value-added products. SKE brewing equipment manufacturers will be a detailed analysis of the core functions of the distillation system, the application scenarios and the real value it provides to customers.
The pot stills in SKE's distillation equipment are mainly used for the production of complex spirits (e.g. whisky, rum) retaining more esters and phenolics, which gives the spirit its unique aroma, improves the efficiency of heat transfer and also reduces the risk of oxidation. Distillation columns can also be customized to support multiple distillations (e.g. secondary distillation to increase alcohol purity to 95%). Column stills are highly efficient for the production of neutral spirits such as high-purity vodka and gin, or for the recovery of alcohol from beer waste. Multi-storey columns are designed for continuous distillation, reducing energy consumption by up to 30%. SKE distillation systems utilize automated temperature and pressure control to ensure batch consistency. SKE steam distillation systems are used for the recovery of alcohol from beer waste (e.g., lees) or for the extraction of hop extracts (e.g., hops essential oils). The steam jacketed heating technology of the brewing equipment increases the thermal efficiency and reduces the risk of pasting. With a condenser and a collection unit, purity of more than 90% can be achieved.
SKE's distillation columns can make beer into whiskey, vodka and other spirits, can help beer companies to increase profitability 3-5 times; pot stills can also be used for the development of flavor raw materials, companies can be used; the use of distillation systems to extract essential oils from hops used in the food flavoring or perfume industry; the distillation system can be used for waste recycling, so that the recovery rate of alcohol in the lees of the wine can reach 85%, to reduce the enterprise Waste of raw materials. Steam distillation system heat utilization rate of more than 80%, compared with the traditional electric heating energy saving 20%. SKE editor in this friendly to the beer brewing enterprises a little bit of new marketing ideas: through the “from beer to whisky” closed-loop production, to create an environmentally friendly and innovative brand image; in the brewery to open the distillation experience workshop, to attract tourists and enhance customer adhesion. SKE production of distillation columns is modular design, support from 50L to 5000L industrial-grade equipment. SKE's distillation columns are modular in design, supporting seamless expansion from 50L laboratory grade to 5000L industrial grade equipment, allowing for rapid start-up. SKE's distillation pre-assembled control system can be commissioned and put into production within 2 weeks. The distillation columns are environmentally certified, and the waste water treatment system complies with EU REACH standards, reducing the carbon footprint. Distillation system equipment is in line with health and safety standards, 304 stainless steel + CIP automatic cleaning, through the FDA / CE certification. The distillation column can be precisely temperature controlled, real-time monitoring of alcohol concentration, pH value and other parameters, shortening the development cycle to 72 hours.
SKE's technical team has developed distillation towers that not only provide breweries with the perfect springboard from a single product to a diversified range of products, but are also a key tool in achieving environmental goals and profit growth. SKE's brewing equipment allows brewers to quickly respond to market demand and capture the market for premium spirits and flavor ingredients by selecting the right distillation system technology.
