At the core of the Kulun whisky facility lies a 400mm-diameter continuous still-the key equipment enabling efficient, consistent production of high-strength (68-75% ABV) corn grain whisky. Unlike batch distillation, this system supports uninterrupted processing of fermented corn mash, ensuring stable alcohol content and flavor profile across batches. Following full installation and debugging, the still has operated smoothly, delivering the project's first qualified whisky output.
To match the high throughput of the continuous still, the facility features customized upstream equipment: two 5-ton mashing/saccharification units (with conveyors and hot water tank systems) for corn processing, plus three 10-ton fermentation tanks that supply a steady stream of fermented mash to the still. This integrated setup eliminates bottlenecks between brewing steps, perfectly aligning with the continuous, non-stop nature of the distillation process.
Auxiliary infrastructure-including steam boilers, cooling systems, RO pure water devices, and air compression systems-provides reliable support for the continuous distillation operation. After rigorous installation, debugging and acceptance testing procedures, the entire production line has met all preset technical standards and quality requirements, officially entering the stable production phase. This project not only validates the feasibility of corn-based grain whisky production in Inner Mongolia but also highlights the value of continuous distillation in scaling China's craft spirits sector. Boben Light Industry's turnkey solution sets a new capacity benchmark for similar domestic facilities.
