Odin on the iStill 250
Automated distilling is the new kid on the block! And now the iStill 250 offers micro
distillers just that. And more, much more. Maybe its biggest innovation isn’t the
automation, but its performance to price ratio. Starting up a micro distilery, plug &
play, turn-key, for under € 6,000,-? Get rea

Automation
The column automation is based on three electronic modules that are responsible for
a maintenance-free process:
1. Control Unit: a microcomputer with software written especially for the iStil 250.
The programming controls the actuators and collects the signals from the various
sensors, The Control Unit monitors, updates and controls (among others) the
Stainless Steel solenoid valves, temperature measurements collected from the
digital sensors, the state of the column liquid levels, atmospheric pressure, and
water flow.
2. Automatic Needle Valve: a microcomputer controlled mechanical assembly, with a
vertical accuracy of 0.0208 mm, based on micrometer management and stepper
motor control
3, Electrical box: provides power to the entire system (boiler, column, automation,
etc.). 400 V, 3 phase, 3 x 6 KW (conversion kit optional).Distillate distributor
Collected distillate, right of the needle valve, has a temperature of 50 to 56 degrees
Celsius. It passes through the product cooler, to bring that temperature down to
room temperature. Then, depending on the program selected on the manifold, the
now cooled liquid is directed to the non filter output valve or to the carbon filtered
output valve. The distillate distributor is also used for separate fores, heads, and
hearts collection.
Carbon filter
+ Height 60 cm, diameter 11.4 cm;
Filled with 5 litres of Cobra Charcoal;
‘= Carbon crash protection (Stainless Steel mesh with an opening of 0.027 mm).Water cool
Distribution of cooling water is automatically controlled by the microcomputer;
Quick garden hose connectors (Gardena) for standard water hoses;
Minimum required water pressure of 0.5 bar, maximum of 3 bar;
Water consumption of about 1.5 m3 on a run.
Cleaning centre
After the production process is finished, the water hose for “water in” can be
attached to the cleaning centre. Open the drain at the bottom of the boiler, open the
Stainless Steel ball valve, and rinse out sediments from the column, packing and
boiler.Electronics
The electronics used in the iStill 250 are made industrially and covered by a 24
month warranty, All electronics are safe guarded by Stainless Steel housing of 1.5
mm thickness.
Execution
All iStills are made with the aim of delivering professional build quality at the highest
industry standards, as can be seen by the welding quality of the water supply, for
instance.
The iStill 250 is 100% complete for immediate employment with a guaranteed
minimum score on alcohol collection of 95%¢+ from the first run onwards. If you
meet the requested electrical power requirements, of course.All elements in contact with distillate are made of Stainless Steel according to AISI
304 and 316 (pipes: AISI 304, EN 1.4301, PN OH18N9, couplings and fittings, AISI
316 - EN 1.4401, PN H17N13M2T).
The fittings used are Teflon seals and safe to use up to temperatures of 350 degrees
Celsius. All hoses are made of pure silicon:
Active TIG welding with Argon is applied.
All the parts, including the water distribution system and screws, nuts, washers,
solenoid valves, ball valves, etc. are made of Stainless Steel AISI 316.
Packaging
The iStill 250 is packaged to withstand both the elements and harsh treatment.
Shipment fits on a (1) pallet.
