Alcoholic beverage distillation unit VA/SO2 Kombo Glasschem

SO2for food productsethanol

Product overview The VA/SO2 Kombo Glasschem distillers integrate a volatile acidity (VA) distillation unit with 2 or 4 heads for sulphur dioxide (SO2) analysis, enabling simultaneous determination of multiple wine parameters. Designed for wineries and third-party laboratories, the system also performs alcoholic strength analysis via the ebulliometric method with supplied software for accuracy better than 0.2%. Key design elements include an auto-draining exhausted-sample system, controlled air flow for SO2 determination, high-efficiency electrical heating and sealed operation to prevent gas leaks.

Advantages

• Combined solution for VA, SO2 (total/free/bound) and alcohol determination
• Two configurations to match throughput needs: Kombo 1+2 and Kombo 1+4
• Suitable for wines, musts, grape juice and spirits
• Up to 25% faster VA distillation versus traditional equipment
• Auto-draining of exhausted samples simplifies workflow
• Multiple VA distillations can run consecutively without adding cold water
• 2 or 4 SO2 distillation heads for parallel analysis
• Ebulliometric alcohol analysis with accuracy better than 0.2%
• Optional Alcohol Determination Kit available
• Energy-efficient electrical heating with stable heat input
• Compact, ergonomic footprint for laboratory benches
• Easy installation and operation

Technical features

• Typical distillation times: VA 12 min/sample; free SO2 10 min/sample; bound/total SO2 10 min/sample; alcohol distillation 5 min; boiling point determination 5 min
• Water consumption: 0.2 L/min
• Auto-draining system for exhausted samples after VA distillation
• Flow-rate control system for SO2 air stream to ensure repeatability
• Ebulliometric method for alcohol with dedicated software
