Having a smart looking and well made still is top of any distillers wish list but to make the most out of your still a control system of equal standing is just as important. Bumpkin Stills are not only experts in stills but also experts in control and automation having experience across brewing, cider, wine and of course distilling. We have a pedigree in the beverages industry and have systems engineers who understand both control systems and also the art of distillation.
Having both a background in distilling and control systems makes us stand out and we feed our knowledge back into our products to produce some of the best systems available on the market. Our control systems produced by bumpkin stills come in various forms from our basic but high functioning systems to our high-end systems with touch screen human-machine interfaces with networking abilities. Control systems help automate processes from regulating temperatures to speeding up processes. We find the best reason to use control systems are:
Our basic control gives the distiller the ability to safely control the element, through varying the power input to the element. By varying the input to the element the distiller can control the intensity of the boil, and so the composition of the distillate. Water for the dephlegmator is controlled manually in this set up. Despite its basic design it offers a high level of functionality and control and is suitable for many distilling projects both big and small.
As well as the basic Bumpkin controller, we offer control systems which are more capable and better suited for small businesses rather than the hobbyist. The premium range offers touch screen control with the ability to monitor temperature and pressure in real time giving a live digital dashboard of your product. This system helps replicate your distillate batch to batch as the system saves the data. The saved data can be used to manage the stills performance, save recipe development and provide a useful insight for training. Above all it manages quality control, this is important when producing a distillate which is the same every time and is a must for starting up a small distilling business.
All our control panels can be modified to your requirements and we can vary the complexity and size to your individual requirements. Customisation is what Bumpkin Stills do best and have engineers who can help solve your distilling problems. Whether you have a multi-still set and want to integrate your still with multiple bumpkin still or an existing set up, we can provide the level of customisation to ensure you get the most out of your equipment.
