Main Configuration of the 500L Rum Distillery Equipment
The installed system includes:
500L Fermentation Tank
The fermentation tank is designed for sugarcane juice fermentation before distillation. It provides a sanitary and controlled environment to support stable fermentation performance and consistent raw material quality.
Features include:
- High-quality stainless steel construction
- Hygienic design for easy cleaning
- Suitable working volume for craft rum production
- Reliable fermentation performance

500L Copper Pot Still with 6-Plate Column
The core of this rum distillation system is the 500L copper pot still, specially designed for producing aromatic spirits.
The still features:
- 500L distillation capacity
- Copper pot body
- 6-trays copper plate column
- Copper condenser
- Customized distillation structure for rum production
Copper plays an important role in spirit production because it helps remove unwanted sulfur compounds and contributes to producing a smoother and cleaner spirit profile. The 6-plate column provides additional rectification capability, allowing the distiller to achieve better control over alcohol concentration and flavor characteristics.


Copper Components for Enhanced Spirit Quality
For rum production, copper contact is especially important because it influences the final aroma and taste of the spirit.
In this project, Tiantai supplied copper components including:
- Copper boiler body
- Copper column plates
- Copper condenser
The combination of traditional copper craftsmanship and modern manufacturing technology helps the distillery create rum with rich flavor, excellent smoothness, and consistent quality.
