It also provides distillation columns to obtain mainly Armagnac and single-distilled alcohols in continuous production. Chalvignac also designs and produces high-technology equipment to set and supervise the distillation process, including gas/steam supply setting, distillate casting (heads, "brouillis" or hearts, and tails), and temperature ...
This still had a pot still type-kettle, but replaced the traditional lyne arm and cooling worm with a vertical column of perforated plates.

If a purer distillate is desired, a reflux still is the most common solution. Reflux stills incorporate a fractionating column, commonly created by filling copper vessels with glass beads to maximize available surface ...
Diagram of a Batch Rectifier. The simplest and most frequently used batch distillation configuration is the batch rectifier, including the alembic and pot still.The batch rectifier consists of a pot (or reboiler), rectifying column, a condenser, some means of splitting off a portion of the condensed vapour (distillate) as reflux, and one or more receivers.

A custom-made 400-liter Kothe hybrid pot-column still operated by the Catoctin Creek Distilling Co. of Purcellville, Virginia.. A microdistillery is a small, often boutique-style distillery established to produce beverage grade spirit alcohol in relatively small quantities, usually done in single batches (as opposed to larger distillers' continuous distilling process).
The distillery uses pot and column stills from CARL of Germany to produce whisky, gin and vodka. [2]The core gin expression is named 'Kirsty's Gin' after master distiller Kirsty Black and includes botanicals such as seaweed, carline thistle and Scottish blaeberry.
