mendodistilling Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Does anyone know who makes this equipment? I looked at Perrier.fr but they seem to make other things but not this. I'm going to look into it further and may call Knob Creek about it but it was a nice bottle rinser that I'd like to use to keep flavor contamination or dilution negligable.

Absinthe Pete Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Are you talking about the bottle washer? If so it looks custom made as the Stainless Steel Pan it's in is a steam tray pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillizard Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 that looks like something we would install to rinse espresso glasses like here.. http://www.espressoparts.com/RinsersDipperwells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fldme Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 MAC manufacturing more than likely built that. They make most of the barrel handling stuf for the large distilleries and do some bottling equipment as well. Google them, I think they are right outside of Bardstown, KY.

Rich Morgan Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I agree it looks like a once off custom. We use one of these from Tenco Italy, http://www.tenco.it/prodotto/sciacquatrici The only issue we had was it recycles the wash water, so we added a .2um cartridge filter in the loop. We easily do 300-400/hr. Simple, brilliant and low cost. Sorry the page is in Italian but you get the idea. I know Tenco have distributors in the US.

tl5612 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 i know this is off topic... But Rich, I've noticed that you source a lot of equipment from Italy/Europe, and I wondered where your stills are from? Did you use an Australian manufacturer?

Rich Morgan Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The still boilers (pots) and columns were made in Germany, All the interconnecting pipe work, gas train, control gear and supports were sourced locally. Basically as Australia is the largest supplier of copper, raw materials were 20% cheaper here. Also, items like gas control trains are difficult to get type approved for one off installs, We just went to a local specialist, and all the approvals were in place. I was not able to find skilled coppersmiths in Australia. Its a dying art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
