T500 Pro Column & Condenser

T500 Pro Column & Condenser

Engineered for modularity and performance, the T500 Pro is an all-in-one reflux column and condenser designed to streamline the distillation process while delivering exceptional results. This innovative unit combines advanced functionality with unmatched convenience, eliminating the need for separate components. Its integrated design features a pre-packed column with both copper and stainless steel saddles, optimising vapour reflux and elevating the quality of your distillate.

Constructed from the highest quality materials, the T500 Pro is crafted with precision using T2-grade copper for the column and cold finger coil, complemented by durable stainless steel tri-clamp ferrules. The use of copper in the spirit path enhances the distillation process by reducing unwanted compounds, ensuring a cleaner, smoother finish. Food-grade, high-temperature silicone seals are included for use in the tri-clamp connections.

The T500 Pro features a thermowell at the top of the column for accurate vapour temperature monitoring, a beeping alarm thermometer with adjustable high and low temperature alerts, and robust 2” tri-clamp fittings for a secure, modular setup. The detachable product condenser and removable cold finger cooling coil offer added versatility, while improved water efficiency saves up to 30% compared to the original T500, depending on usage.

Ideal for producing clean, neutral alcohol, the T500 Pro delivers exceptional clarity and purity in every run. It can reach up to 93% ABV and recover up to 95% of the alcohol from your wash—producing a neutral spirit that’s ideal for vodka or as a base for flavourings, gins, and other botanical spirits. The T500 Pro is perfect for distilling water, thanks to the combined performance of copper and stainless steel saddles, which aid in the effective removal of impurities.

The T500 Pro is compatible with the T500, Create+ Boiler 25 L and the Grainfather G30, G40, and G70 Brewing Systems, making it a powerful and flexible addition to any distiller’s setup.
