Automate your whiskey distillation process for consistent, high-quality results! 🍸 In this detailed demo, see how AutomationDirect's CLICK Plus PLC (with built-in PID, native RTD inputs, and stepper control) teams up with a C-more 10" touchscreen HMI to handle precise temperature regulation, reflux modulation, data logging, and cloud connectivity via Node-RED.
Key highlights:
Double distillation explained: stripping run + spirit run
PID auto-tuning for steam temperature control (e.g., 83°C target for ethanol adjustments)
Multiple RTD monitoring, peristaltic pump speed control, heat removal calculations
HMI for operator inputs (fill jars, set ethanol %, monitor trends)
Benefits: repeatable proof, better flavor preservation, less manual intervention
Perfect for hobby distillers, small craft producers, or anyone exploring industrial automation in unique applications!.
Application and videography by Doug Reneker, and his distilling enthusiast associate, Pierrot Lunaire.
