Hello Willie, thanks for your comment, I will try to use agar or egg white and as you say, gently filter without disturbing the bottom.
I'll post the results...

Thanks Foreshot for your suggestion, this is exactly what I need 😁 !!

I would like to make some kind of reverse flow cleaning cycle with Arduino and some electrovalves.

I'm still investigating...

Got it, thanks !!

Thanks Kindred, I will try and compare !
I'm planning to also test "deatomacea" sand, we use it here for pool cleaning. 🤔

Thanks Kindred Spirits , I can't use charcoal because it will remove the spirits flavor .

I'm thinking about a type of conical tank for resting and the sucking the residues with a quick controlled aspiration.

Thank you Vonish for your comments and sharing your experience, I will take your advice and search in that direction. I will post again any findings here to share.
The only thing that bothers me is that in practice if I let the spirits rest for a few days the elements I want to filtrate precipitate naturally, so it seems it needs mechanical filtering.

I will try to find a filter material that can be backflushed for easier cleaning.

For our LUNA Salmwood "Reposado" gin filter works great but in the case of LUNA Amaro, it's so turbid  it quickly blocks regular filters...

Hello to all forum friends, my name is Jose Echeverría from LUNA Spirits, we the first and only producer of gin and other premium spirits in El Salvador https://luna.com.sv  (sorry about the commercial 

I´m trying to make a centrifugal device to filter /clarify our LUNA Amari, LUNA Salmwood "Reposado" gin, and other spirits that have final maceration after distillation.

The question is if, has someone tried to adapt a milk separator or some other similar device that is easy available and cheaper than industrial equipment?

Thanks for your help !!

Hello to everyone, I'm looking for a good and simple distillery simulation software to make costs and process calculations.
Maybe it could be a distillery software already made?

I'm experiencing with Aspen Plus but maybe there's something specific to distilleries.
 

Thank you in advance for your help

José

Mucho gusto colega destilador !!

Hi, we are a small distillery starting business in El Salvador, Central America.

Greetings !!
