Carbon filter for vodka

You really wouldn't believe how much goes into the right carbon for the right product. Carbon choices are widely varied with type of carbon strata (coconut shell, rock, etc) and the fracture size. So the final output screen size depends on what filter media you use. As for a good carbon holder, we use 4in copper and stainless pipes and let gravity do it's thing. Although for large quantity at once it might be a bit slow for you.

You can use a SS tube (say 2-4") with sanitary fittings welded to the ends, get some sanitary caps and weld on swagelok fittings (straights, 90's, or a tee if you want to monitor pressure) to the caps, get an appropriate screen mesh for the carbon particle size you are using, and use a pump to move the vodka through the carbon bed. The pump allows you to play with your residence time (time vodka is in contact with the filtration media) and pressure. I bought everything from McMaster for far cheaper than buying a pro system.

Chefedgardo,

What hourly capacity do you need?

As for static method of treatment of either vodka or rum, it is obsolete method, and as a rule is applying in wine treatment for instance for white vermouth and so on. It is not convenient from technological point of view. For vodka are applying special charcoals and carbons by dynamic method, in flow.

This is just a suggestion, and not intended to be a slam.

You appear to be quite knowledgeable about filtration, and I believe you have a product or system that you sell. However your. English translation seems to be a bit rough, and as such you are having a hard time "reaching people" in this format.

Might I suggest that you instead either link us to your product web site, or if that doesn't exist, then upload some pictures, and prices, and it may help to move some of your technology.

Thanks

We use a small 20x20 plate filter, that you can see here http://morewinemaking.com/products/plate-filter-20x20-10-plates.html

While this isn't the exact one, its very close. Then you can buy carbon filters from Gusmer. And we get our other filters through bulk wine suppliers (in differing pore sizes depending on what we are filtering).
