Description
200L Distillation System: Built for Gin, Whiskey, and Small-Batch Spirits
The 200L size is the one we quote most often. It\’s the smallest kettle that still lets a distillery run a full production week without standing over it, and it\’s small enough to ship in a 40-foot container without a crane on the receiving end. Step up to 300L when your weekly batch count passes eight; go 500L once you\’re selling into distribution and can\’t keep up with stripping runs.
| Spec | Standard Build |
|---|---|
| Kettle volume | 200 L, working charge 150–180 L |
| Column | 4 copper plates, 6-plate upgrade available |
| Heating | 18–24 kW electric, or steam jacket |
| Condenser | Shell-and-tube, copper or stainless |
| Utilities | 380 V 3-phase; 1.5 m³/h cooling water at 25 °C or below |
| Footprint | About 1.2 m diameter × 2.8 m tall |
Where copper actually matters
Copper in the vapor path knocks down sulfides and gives you a cleaner cut. The kettle, column plates, and vapor line should be copper. Everything downstream, condenser shell, piping, parrot, holds up fine in 304 stainless, and nobody tasting your spirit will know the difference. We\’ve built all-copper units for buyers who wanted them. They photograph beautifully and run about 30% more.
Electric or steam
No boiler on site? Go electric. Swapping an element takes an hour with a wrench. Steam is gentler on a grain mash and responds faster, though the boiler adds real money up front. If you expect to reach 500L or 1000L within two years, buy steam now. The boiler carries over to the next still. Elements don\’t.
Options worth settling early
A gin basket, in-column or in-kettle, changes your botanical workflow more than any other add-on. Agitators matter for grain-in fermentations. Ask about a larger condenser if you\’re running high-proof spirit runs, and a CIP spray ball if nobody wants to climb a ladder at 2 a.m.
What we need before quoting
Send us your target bottle proof, batches per week, ceiling height, available power, cooling water temperature and flow rate, and whether the unit lands at a bonded facility. Those six answers shape the design more than the capacity number does. Get them wrong and you\’ll be rebuilding the column later.

Although there were a few minor issues, thanks to Polly’s help, it looks brilliant and has brought my little distillery quite a few new customers.
Very good！！I see now in my texting to you that in my excitement over having the installation here in the USA I totally forgot to give you and the company of ACE a very big compliment on the quality of the whole Installation!! It all looks fabulous and the way you packed it in the container was extraordinary!! I am very impressed with your company and want to say a big thank you to everybody who worked on my order!!
We have been using this still for a few batches now making whiskey, gin and a few other spirits and we are very happy with the results so far. The gear works well and gives good control during distillation. The spirit comes out clean and consistent from batch to batch and we have gotten the flavor profile we were looking for. It has also been easy to operate and maintain. It has been a great addition to our distillery and I’d definitely recommend it to other craft distillers looking for reliable equipment.”

It was quite a big job to put the distiller together, so I asked a friend to help me, and I managed to get it done in just eight hours. I’m really pleased with it – it looks brilliant.Ryan Murphy
