Used Stills
Stills act as reaction vessels in the distillation process. These apparatuses can distill liquid mixtures by heating them to a specific boiling point and cooling the mixture to condense the vapor. Industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, breweries and pharmaceuticals rely on stills to purify substances for development.
The types of distillation that use stills include:
- Catalytic
- Dry
- Differential
- Freeze
- Flash Steam
- Simple
- Vacuum
When choosing a still for your operation, consider your applications and size constraints to find the best model for your needs.
Benefits of Stills
Adding a still to your equipment collection can offer many benefits to your operation, including:
- Flexibility: Stills can apply to small and large-scale operations — use them in laboratories or massive industrial processes. Our selection of used stills includes various gallon capacities to support your applications and site size.
- Continuous capabilities: Column stills support continuous operation, so you can reduce downtime and the number of times you need to clean out your equipment.
- Alloy options: Different metals deliver various results for the distillation process. Finding the right alloy for your application can encourage comprehensive distillation. For example, copper is the preferred material for alcohol distillation because it removes sulfides and improves the flavor.
