500L Pot and Column Still Whiskey Distiller

500L / 5HL Heavy-Duty Production High-Elevated Long Column Design Independent Split-Tank Support System

Product Description:

The 500L Pot and Column Still is a comprehensive, medium‑scale hybrid distillation system for commercial whiskey production. Featuring a 500‑liter full‑copper pot still with an integrated tall fractionating column (6+ sight glasses), copper dome with sight glass, and diamond‑plate stainless steel boiler body, connected via copper lyne arm to a copper condenser column and dual stainless steel collection tanks — all with comprehensive gauge monitoring and sanitary tri‑clamp fittings. The integrated column design provides exceptional separation efficiency while maintaining the rich, complex character of pot‑still production. The dual collection tanks enable precise heads‑hearts‑tails separation, while the copper vapor path ensures catalytic sulfur removal for premium spirit quality. The pump‑assisted system enables efficient operation and easy transfer between vessels.

Advantage of Configuration

Integrated Tall Reflux Column Design
Unique configuration with reflux column integrated directly into the pot neck — combining traditional pot still aesthetics with modern reflux capability. The tall integrated column features 6-7 sight glasses for maximum separation control.

500L Commercial-Scale Capacity
500L pot volume delivers high-volume batch yields for established distilleries — suitable for commercial whiskey production requiring significant output with traditional character.

Traditional Copper Pot Still Shape
Classic large copper pot body with alembic dome delivers authentic vapor dynamics for premium whiskey flavor development — the same geometry used by Scotland’s finest distilleries.

Maximum Copper Contact (6-7 Sight Glasses)
Tall integrated column with 6-7 sight glasses — the highest plate count in the hybrid series. Enables ultra-precise monitoring of separation efficiency for optimal spirit purity and character control.

Dual-Vessel Configuration
System includes main pot still plus additional stainless steel vessel — providing flexibility for different production modes, pre-heating, or collection storage.

Full Copper Condenser & Spirit Safe
Premium copper condenser and spirit safe maintain maximum copper contact throughout the entire vapor path — ensuring superior spirit quality and consistency.

Integrated Pump System
Built-in pump enables efficient liquid transfer between vessels — supporting continuous production workflows and reducing manual handling at commercial scale.
