Glasschem Distiller for SO2

The New Generation of SO2 Distillers for Wine Samples

The determination of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in wine, grape juices, and spirits is a critical and frequent analysis in oenology. Traditionally, productivity has been limited by single-sample equipment, which can be inefficient for wine industries and third-party laboratories that need to perform multiple distillations simultaneously. The new SO2 Glasschem stills are designed to revolutionize this process, offering models with 2, 4, 6, or 8 places for simultaneous distillations. These stills combine affordability with advanced features to enhance efficiency and accuracy in SO2 determination.

• Specialized for Oenology: The stills are specifically tailored for the needs of oenology (the science and study of wine and winemaking). This specialization ensures that they meet the rigorous demands of analyzing alcohol percentages accurately and efficiently in wines and other alcoholic beverages.

Technical Features:

Distillation Time:  7 minutes for 50 ml and 24 minutes for 250 ml
Power Consumption: 630 W/head
