Visiting a distillery is an exciting and educational experience, but it can also be overwhelming. The distillation process involves many components, each playing a crucial role. Two key pieces of equipment are the alcohol storage tank and the alcohol mixing tank. This article will delve into the functions, features, and applications of the alcohol storage and mixing tanks provided by Pretank, helping you better understand their importance in the distillation process.
A storage tank is a single-wall vessel designed specifically for storing distilled spirits before undergoing any further processes, such as aging, blending, or bottling. They can also be used to store base spirits required for future distillation runs.
Storage tanks typically feature the following components and configurations:
Capacity Indicators and Scales: Allow for real-time monitoring of the alcohol volume inside the tank.
Sampling Port: Enables sample extraction for analysis.
Vent Pipes and Pressure Relief Valves: Ensure the tank pressure remains within safe limits.
CIP (Clean-in-Place) System: Includes spray balls and piping to maintain hygienic and sterile tank interiors.
Shadow-Free Access Ports: Optimize internal cleaning efficiency by reducing dead spots.
For any distillery planning large-scale production, storage tanks are an indispensable piece of infrastructure.
A mixing tank is also a single-wall tank, but its role extends beyond storing distilled spirits. It plays a pivotal part in processes like alcohol-water blending, proofing, flavor adjustments, and separation. The design of mixing tanks is more sophisticated and often includes the following features:
Electric Agitator: Ensures uniform and efficient mixing.
Capacity Indicators and Scales: Facilitate precise control over mixing ratios.
Sampling Port: Allows real-time sampling for recipe adjustments.
Thermometer: Monitors internal temperature to maintain optimal process conditions.
CIP System: Similar to storage tanks, ensures hygienic and sterile conditions.
The presence of a mixing tank allows distilleries to flexibly adjust alcohol content and flavors, enabling more diverse product development.
Storage and mixing tanks come in various sizes to meet the needs of distilleries of all scales. From small tanks with a capacity of 1,000 liters to large units exceeding 10,000 liters, customers can choose the right size for their production needs. Choosing the correct size not only meets production requirements but also helps control costs and avoid resource waste due to over-specification.
