PRINCIPLE

A steam generator supplied with distilled water enables, with steam bubbling into the sample, an extraction of volatile acids, alcohols, etc. (according to the selected method). A rectifying column with Raschig rings separates the steams and prevents the distillation of the lactic acid. A coil cooler, equipped with a special tube for connection with the air to equilibrate pressure, condenses and collects all the steams. The distillate comes out by a glass tip and is collected in a volumetric flask. Distillation stops when the time selected on the timer comes to an end. 

ADVANTAGES

• Distillation of wines and beverages which contain until 20% Vol. alcohol, complying with european regulations (regulation EEC n°2676/90 and O.J. L272 of 03/10/90) and OIV standards described in the Compendium of International Methods of Analysis of Wines and Musts.
• Distillation of beverages which contain until 40% Vol. alcohol (after dilution by 1/2).
• Option to choose a marc version for alcohol content analysis. This is essential to comply with regulations, which require knowing the alcohol content of the marcs in order to revalorize them afterward.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Selection of the extraction time on a timer
• Automatic stop of the pump supplying water to the steam generator and of the circulating cooling system
• Steam generator equipped with a powerful heating system (2800W)
• Large-size glassware (high efficiency rectifying and cooling columns)
• Permanent display of cooling liquid temperature
• Short work time: 5 to 6 min par operation
