As well as being extremely impact resistant.\u003cbr\u003eWe have decided to use this type of plastic because it also has superior thermal and mechanical properties with the added benefit of being transparent. This will allow us to injection mold intricate parts that would have been near impossible to do in stainless steel or lab-grade glass. Because this is a very unique type of plastic, it comes at a much higher cost per kg than other industrial plastics. So much so that it costs more than stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PolyPhoenix Condenser can be used in multiple configurations for your distillation set up. Most commonly it is used in the hammerhead configuration (horizontal). But it can also be used Vertically with some quick adjustments to the 3\" TC housings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do Bubbler Plates do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBubble plates are used to create more reflux in the column. Think of it like modular distillation chambers that allow alcohol vapour to pass up the column, as well as a \"downcomer\" that lets excess liquid on the plate fall back to the plate below.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach time refining and changing phase over and over until it reaches a condenser. This helps to regulate the rate that good spirit is collected and can help to produce a more consistent, high-quality spirit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis rising and falling action helps to separate the different types of alcohol in the still, with lighter alcohols gradually moving upwards where they can be removed so that they don't form part of the final product. The heavier alcohols, on the other hand, remain lower in the column and are eventually removed once the unwanted alcohols that form the foreshots, and heads are removed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I use a Bubbler Plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey allow for greater control over the distillation process.

Due to the thermal capacity of the PPSU PolyPhoenix Still you will not get a great deal of passive reflux from the column wall.
