95% High-Alcohol Output — A Technical Differentiator at This Capacity
The ZR-DT-1500L is confirmed to produce up to 95% alcohol by volume per batch — a specification that distinguishes it from the 55–60% output range of the ZR BREW Multifunctional Distiller series. For commercial vodka and neutral spirits producers where high-proof output is a production requirement, this capacity and purity combination represents a practical and commercially significant specification.
24-Floor Distillation Column for High-Proof Separation
The standard system includes a 24-floor distillation column with sight glass, CIP access, and a thermometer at every plate. This multi-stage rectification column is designed to achieve high-proof separation in a single production run, reducing the number of redistillation passes needed to reach commercial vodka purity standards.
Direct Fire Heating for High-Temperature Distillation Efficiency
Unlike the steam-heated configurations across the ZR BREW Multifunctional Distiller series, the ZR-DT-1500L uses direct fire heating as its standard configuration. This heating method supports the high-temperature input requirements for driving high-proof column distillation — a practical choice for facilities with access to natural gas or LPG fuel supply, which offers lower operating costs compared to electric heating in many commercial markets.
Integrated Mash, Fermentation, and Distillation in One System
The standard configuration includes a 1500L Mash/Lauter Tun, a 1500L Fermentation Tank, a liquid delivery pump, and the distillation column — providing a complete grain-to-spirit processing line within a single coordinated system. This integration reduces the need for separate equipment sourcing and simplifies the production workflow for commercial spirits operations.
CIP-Integrated Distillation Column and Tank Cleaning
The 24-floor column and associated tanks are equipped with CIP (Clean-In-Place) access at the column level and in the main tank circuits. This supports efficient sanitation between production batches and maintains the high hygiene standards required for commercial spirits production under consistent quality control.
Configurable Material Selection — Stainless Steel or Copper
The distiller and column are available in stainless steel, copper, or a stainless steel and copper combination — providing buyers with the flexibility to match material selection to spirit flavor requirements, local regulatory standards, and budget. For premium vodka production, the column material selection can directly influence spirit character during high-proof rectification.
