The ultimate upgrade for distilleries ready to scale with precision.
This 1000L system is not just a bigger still—it’s a completely rethought distillation platform. Built for producers who demand both the soul of a traditional copper pot still and the throughput of a modern rectification column, it delivers unmatched flexibility in a single, compact footprint. Whether you're laying down barrels of single malt or polishing neutral spirit for vodka and gin, this system adapts to your craft.
One boiler, two distillation philosophies.
At its core sits a 1000L copper pot with a hand-hammered onion dome, paired with a stainless steel base featuring a diamond-embossed finish. But what sets this system apart is its modular column architecture. Run it as a pure pot still for whiskey and brandy, or engage the 5-plate and 9-plate copper columns for high-rectification vodka and gin. Switching between styles takes minutes, not hours—giving you the freedom to chase flavor or purity on your own terms.
See every cut, control every run.
The copper columns are fitted with borosilicate sight glasses at every plate level, letting you observe reflux and vapor behavior in real time. Combined with shell-and-tube condensers and a dedicated spirit safe with three product tanks (heads, hearts, tails), you get surgical control over your cuts. No guesswork. No wasted spirit. Just repeatable, high-quality results batch after batch.
Designed for the reality of a working distillery.
We built this system with the daily grind in mind. The large, angled manway with a glass cover makes grain loading and kettle cleaning straightforward. Sanitary Tri-clamp connections throughout mean you can break down and sanitize the line quickly. An explosion-proof agitator motor handles high-solids washes safely, while the integrated CIP spray balls and hot water tank take the pain out of deep cleaning. It’s a system that respects your time and your back.
Semi-automated workflow, industrial-grade safety.
The UL-certified PLC touchscreen puts pressure, temperature, and heating mode control at your fingertips. Set your parameters, monitor your run, and let the system handle the rest—including automatic safety shut-offs. A built-in sanitary pump and piping manifold let you move wash and distillate without manual lifting, creating a smoother, safer distillery floor.

1. Material & Craftsmanship
Industrial Hybrid Boiler (Copper Inner, Hammered Stainless Outer): The large 1000L boiler features a high-purity red copper inner bowl to catalyze the removal of sulfides and unwanted congeners. It is encased in a heavy-duty, diamond-hammered 304 stainless steel jacket, providing exceptional structural rigidity, superior thermal insulation, and maximum durability for continuous high-volume industrial operation.
Classic Copper Onion Head & Vapor Path: The boiler is topped with a traditional hand-hammered copper "whiskey helmet" (onion head) that allows for optimal vapor expansion. The entire primary vapor path, including the connecting piping, is fabricated from pure red copper to ensure maximum catalytic purification before the vapor enters the rectification columns.
Multi-Column Stainless Steel & Copper Construction: The system features four independent, freestanding rectification columns. These columns are constructed with a combination of high-grade copper sections and food-grade 304 stainless steel, finished with a diamond-hammered exterior and mirror-polished interior. All connections utilize heavy-duty tri-clamp fittings with food-grade silicone gaskets, guaranteeing a perfectly vapor-tight, hygienic, and easy-to-clean system.
Precision Mirror-Polished Finish: Every wetted surface is meticulously polished to a mirror finish. This premium craftsmanship not only delivers a stunning, state-of-the-art aesthetic suitable for large-scale commercial facilities but also ensures maximum hygiene and prevents the adhesion of organic residues.
2. Functional Design
1000L High-Volume Commercial Capacity: Designed for large-scale distilleries and industrial spirit production. The 1000L working volume delivers substantial batch throughput, making it an ideal choice for continuous, high-demand vodka, neutral grain spirit (NGS), or high-proof whiskey production.
Advanced Multi-Column Fractional Distillation System: This system is the ultimate tool for achieving exceptionally high-proof, ultra-pure spirits. The four interconnected columns work in series, each providing an additional stage of fractional distillation. This cascading effect precisely separates volatile impurities and congeners (like heads and tails), resulting in an incredibly clean, neutral, and smooth final distillate.
Complex Multi-Valve Manifold & Reflux Control: The intricate network of piping and valves allows the distiller to have absolute control over the reflux ratio and vapor routing. Operators can precisely direct vapor flow between the boiler and any of the four columns, enabling the system to be tuned for different feedstocks or target proofs. The system can even be bypassed to operate as a simpler pot still if desired.
Comprehensive Multi-Sight-Glass Observation: Each of the four columns is equipped with multiple strategically placed sight glasses. This allows the distiller to visually monitor the internal bubbling state, vapor rising, and liquid flooding within each individual column in real-time. Combined with high-accuracy dial thermometers, this provides unmatched control for making precise cuts.
Freestanding Modular Design for Space Efficiency: The columns are designed as independent, freestanding towers on heavy-duty legs, significantly reducing the overall height requirements of the distillery. This modular design also allows for flexible placement and easier maintenance.
Clean Electric/Steam Heating & Ergonomic Draining: Optimized for clean electric or steam heating, the boiler guarantees a gentle, rolling boil that prevents scorching and protects the purity of the wash. The large front manway offers effortless access for loading, while the heavy-duty bottom drain valve ensures quick and easy removal of spent grains. All vessels rest on adjustable leveling feet for absolute stability on the factory floor.
