This development allows you to have both a Reflux Distiller and a Pot Distiller without having to purchase two separate columns, yet allowing you all of the benefits of both methods of distillation. While a single-piece column can be used in a Pot Distillation mode, the height of the column makes it a less than perfect solution. The Pro Series II system is very easy to assemble and operate, yet offers extremely high purity distillate. The Pro Series II includes your choice of either Ceramic Raschig Rings or Copper Mesh column packing. While adding copper to the distillation column can offer some definite advantages, many still prefer ceramic rings. As with all the Essential Extractor units, the column uses a tri-clamp fitting making it directly compatible with a standard US (Sanke type) beer keg. The Pro Series system was the first to incorporate a Patent Pending op-mount, crossed cooling line system. This cooling system puts the cooling where it should be - near the top of the column. Forcing reflux at the top of the column causes the condensed liquid to run down through more of the packing, as well as causing a rapid temperature drop immediately before the distillate take-off. This helps to ensure that only vapor with the lowest boiling point passes the cooling system, resulting in higher purity distillate, regardless of what product you are distilling. As with all our distillation units, the Essential Extractor Pro Series II unit is made of 100% solid Stainless Steel construction, using only dairy quality beverage tubing and high grade custom kettle components. We do not use utility pails for our kettles, which are not intended for welding or heating, and use only Type 316L Stainless Steel fittings for our kettles and columns.
