"Alex 50" 50L FRACTIONAL STILL

The 50L fractional still "Alex 50" is scaled up version of a small 25L "Alex 25" still, though both stills are share the same construction principals they are different by size and power consumption and as a result the amount of ethanol produced is different. The 50L fractional still consist of the 50 liter boiler that can be equipped with one 3kw heating element or two 1.5kw heating elements, the boiler is typically heat insulated to preserve all the heat that applied to the still, the boiler also equipped with the waste release valve, column mounting neck and separate loading neck.

While both 25L and 50L stills are share similar construction , the heat exchangers of fractional and stripping columns' of the 50L still are constructed differently from the 25L heat exchangers, - to be capable to cool down increased flow of the distilled ethanol.

The columns of the 50L fractional still have bigger height and diameter to handle increased internal vapour and liquid flow.

The "Alex 50" 50L still is capable to produce 3L of purified ethanol per hour , if exploited with a small continuous still it can produce enough to make up to 40L 0f 40% vodka or other alcohol based drinks. Same as "Alex 25" 25L fractional still the 50L still is able to produce 96% ethanol, that can be used either as a fuel or as a base for alcoholic drinks production.

Here is some facts:

Here is are some facts to Save your $$$ on distillation!!!

The fractional distillation offers low cost of distillation (under NZ $4 per liter of 40% vodka) and highest quality possible.

Here is some example:

To make 5L of 40 % vodka you will need:
Sugar – 6kg = $7.20
Super yeast – one pack = $9.00
Power - $0.20 per unit, total 9kw =$1.80

All this will give you >=2L of 96% spirit that after dilution with water makes 5L of vodka.

Total cost = $18.00 divided by 5L = $3.6 per liter of high quality 40% alcohol, just try to find the distillation system that will offer high quality and yet low production cost. The prices in your country may be different from above.

My business is to build and design small and medium size distillation equipment, most of stills that I am building are available in New Zealand, and some can be ordered internationally, at the same time there are so many people around world who would like to know more and even build this kind of still for themselves. I totally realizing that I'll never will be capable to build the still for every person who wants one, but with help of the internet I can supply enough of information for those who are really interested and who really want to start to make a high quality spirits.

The information that I would like to offer is interactive data DVD that is loaded with step by step pictures that showing the every single step of the fractional still construction in simple garage environment. Every picture is supported by author's comments, the DVD also includes the distillation manual with all calculations needed for the correct fractional distillation, and the video that you can see at the top of this page is also included in higher resolution and better quality.

So buy fractional still's plans today and build your own 25L or 50L fractional still!

The 25L still is now available for international customers. Stills are build to your individual order and delivered by air post in 10 business days,
The 25L fractional still is cost NZ $800.00 (US $559.00) plus delivery.
The fractional still can be also used and ordered as a water purifier and essential oils extractor, the still can be used for a small scale fuel ethanol production.
