500L Rum distillery equipment

Project: 500L Rum Distillery Equipment
Location: Ecuador
Distillery: Hacienda Zhumir Destilería

Hacienda Zhumir Destilería is located in Ecuador and is dedicated to producing premium spirits with unique local characteristics. To expand its rum production capacity and improve product consistency, the distillery required a reliable distillation system with traditional rum-making features and precise process control.

Based on the customer’s production requirements, Tiantai designed and manufactured a complete 500L rum distillery equipment system with a focus on flavor preservation, copper contact, and distillation efficiency.

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.

Professional Installation and Commissioning

After manufacturing and quality inspection, the distillery equipment was shipped to Ecuador and successfully installed at Hacienda Zhumir Destilería.

During installation, Tiantai’s technical team provided guidance on:

  • Equipment assembly
  • Pipeline connection
  • Distillation system commissioning
  • Operation training

The successful installation ensures that the customer can start rum production smoothly and operate the system efficiently.
