A Dual Pot Still is used in some distilleries, made up of a Wash Still and a Spirit Still. In this set-up, a Wash Still performs a stripping run where the ethanol present in the wash after fermentation is distilled to collect what's known as low wines. These are then transferred to the Spirit Still for a second distillation.
Usually a Spirit Still is only about a third of the overall volume of the Wash Still, but this can vary depending on the process being followed.
A Dual Pot Still can be built in copper or a combination of copper and stainless steel, and built with various neck designs and lyne arm slopes. If a column is required, it can be built as a single column or split to shorten.
Can be steam powered, direct fire, steam heating coil inside
A pot still heated indirectly, with steam, looks completely different on the inside. The bottom may be shaped slightly conical towards the centre, so that the remains of the distillation (pot ale) may easily flow out into the pipe. Simple serpent-shaped pipes were used for the first indirect heating systems. They ran close to the bottom and the walls in order to retain the heating effect from outside and below, like in the directly heated stills.
Coating heat insulation layer on the outside of the pot：
The still in the picture above can be seen as the prototype of every pot still. The upper part is made up of four basic areas. The first is the spherical lid A, which covers the pot on the upper side. The conical and tall neck C is attached to the lid via the intermediate connection B. The lyne arm E is connected to the neck by the bend D.
Cooling condenser:
Material: T2 copper;
Style: shell-and-tube type (column type), internal copper tubes, with more deflectors in the middle, alcohol gas goes through the shell side, and cooling water goes through the tube side;
