1. traditional wooden retort equipment
Traditional wooden retort steaming by the sky pot, wooden retort, ground pot three parts, pot and retort connection with cloth or rice bran seal, due to the cloth and rice bran has a gap air permeability, so in the steaming of wine from the gaps in the steam run out of the wine to reduce production, the sky pot area is small cooling incomplete, plus the cooling water is not recycled water, the cooling temperature is high, so also reduce the yield. Therefore, it also reduces the output.
2, equipment material - aluminum equipment shortcomings
This equipment, cooking pot sandwich design, normal steaming can ensure that there is no danger of paste pot. However, once negative pressure is generated due to unstable fire (whether it is wood or coal burning, unstable fire is inevitable) and other reasons, the spirits of wine are sucked into the mezzanine, which cannot be cleaned. These wine spirits in the sandwich rot and deteriorate, and all the wine steamed by this equipment will inevitably carry the taste of rot and deterioration, and the quality is greatly reduced. In addition, part of the fire at the bottom of the pot directly heats the mezzanine, and the wine grains sticking to the bottom of the mezzanine are 100% paste. Cooler area is very large, but need to specialize in building a pool to soak the cooler inside a pool, so this type of equipment is essentially a semi-finished winemaking equipment.
3, the shortcomings of the horizontal pipe equipment
The design of this equipment is relatively special, the cooking pot chimney from the wine between the spirits through the chimney can be utilized to save part of the fuel waste heat. But the middle of the wine spirits without steam stirring, there is a danger of paste pot. Chimney across the cooking pot, but also increase the difficulty of cleaning, increased labor costs. The inlet pipe can not be dismantled, once blocked can not be cleaned, the air guide slot inside, can not be placed on the string steamer. The biggest hidden danger of this equipment is that its chimney is very close to the bottom of the pot, the torch nozzle can not be put, once the leak, can not be repaired. The cooler liner is also a spiral pipe, which will affect the distillation time because the pipe is too long.
4, the disadvantages of conjoined equipment
This type of equipment, the bottom of the cooking pot part of the layer is very high, which reduces the risk of paste pot, but it also causes the loss of heat energy, increasing costs. Coupled with the lack of chimney at the bottom, hot air and soot discharged directly into the room, the pot outlet pipe is welded, can not be disassembled. Once encountering the situation of incomplete fermentation of wine grains, the undecomposed starch expands by heat, blocking the air outlet pipe, coupled with the design of the air outlet pipe is too big a bend, unclogging and cleaning becomes an impossible task; there is no decontamination ceramic ball inside the pot lid (commonly known as the catalytic aging treasure), which can not be filtered and decontaminated and catalytic aging to increase the aroma of the wine steam, the steamed wine aroma thin, and can not win the competitive advantage. The air conduit is at a right angle, of course it will be easier to weld, but the airflow will certainly not rise smoothly enough, making it difficult to reduce the steaming time and the cost of labor and fuel.
Two, look at the material
Winemaking equipment is a tool for steaming wine, usually used to do a lot of material for winemaking equipment, such as wood retort, iron, aluminum alloy, ceramic, copper, stainless steel, etc., the different materials have a direct impact on the yield and quality of the wine taste, which material is the most suitable for us to do the brewing equipment, the following analysis of the different materials are as follows: wood Zhen, the cost is cheaper, but the wood Zhen is made from a piece of wooden planks put together. Wooden Zhen, the cost is cheap, but the wooden Zhen is made of a piece of planks put together, there are gaps between the planks, sealing is not good, coupled with the cooling performance of the pot of the sky is also poor leading to the wine steam to the outside, about 20% lower yield, cheap to buy expensive with iron, of course, the cost is also cheap, but the iron is prone to rust, steam out of the wine is rusty taste, yellow color, affecting the quality of the taste of white wine. Aluminum alloy, will not rust, not high temperature. Aluminum alloy contains lead elements, which are decomposed during the steaming process, affecting the quality of white wine, containing carcinogenic substances, the National Food Sanitation Law stipulates that aluminum alloys cannot be used to make food utensils. Ceramics, with ceramics to steam wine, the taste of wine is possible, but the thermal conductivity of ceramics is slow, the time to steam wine is long, wasting fuel. And not easy to move and fragile, but also cheap to buy expensive to use. Copper, there are copper ions can enhance the quality of white wine, is the best winemaking equipment materials, but the cost is expensive, a small equipment to tens of thousands of dollars.
Stainless steel, there are industrial, food-specific, medical special steel, usually food-specific is 8K304 steel, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, high temperature. Life expectancy of up to 10 years, good thermal conductivity, cooling and sealing performance is also good, to ensure that the yield and quality of white wine, moderate cost, is the best choice to do brewing equipment.
Three, the after-sales service of the brewing equipment
The level of service is also an important factor in judging the brand. Pre-sale services include: how about the teacher's brewing technology, can you give you a brewing business start-up program, these are all needed to professional level, look at the company's history, because a company can operate to today, it shows that the company's strength is good. Because winemaking is a very professional technology
