The Torpedo 30 L modular Convex still is a professional, modular still with a 30 L container, a reflux of the ‘cold fingers’ type,
a clarifier 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:
High quality – made of stainless steel and durable plastic components, airtight featuring precision connections, and
characterised by operational efficiency and durability.
Can be used on various heat sources – on an electric, induction, ceramic, gas or coil cooktop.
Purer distillate with higher potency – the distillate from a 'cold fingers' still is purer and has higher potency than
that obtained from a basic still.
Two electronic thermometers included – providing precise temperature measurements during the distillation
process.
High efficiency – the 30 L container makes it possible to distil a large volume of liquid (however, it is recommended
not to exceed 90% of the capacity).
Complete set – the kit includes a container with a convex lid, a column connector with lagging and reflux of the
‘cold fingers’ type, a condenser with a clarifier, 2 electronic thermometers with batteries included, 2 valves for the
clarifier, 2 hoses, a water supply connector, assembly elements, and a user manual.
Expandable kit – the container and lid are compatible with other distillation modules available from BROWIN.
The still is equipped with a 30 L container (with recommended filling level of up to 90% of capacity and not less than 25%),
and a condenser with 1 clarifier and 2 thermometers, allowing distillation to be carried out without any additional equipment.
The 'cold-fingers' reflux facilitates obtaining a clean distillate of high potency. 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 kit features an airtight container of convex type – with a dome-shaped lid that 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.
Column connector – a distiller module made of stainless steel, installed in order to increase the height of the distillation
column, filled with stainless wire scourers, thanks to which it is excellent at increasing the purity of the resulting distillate.
The connector can also perform the function of a catalytic filter, purifying the distillate perfectly. In its lower part, the
connector includes a crossbar on which a support grid can be placed, allowing the column to be backfilled with copper
prismatic springs (available from Browin).
Column cladding reduces heat losses – this enables conducting the process in lower ambient temperature.
