Upgrading to GENIO Still 50/100/250/500
Over the past years our company produced hundreds of automatic stills. We always work with our customers in mind, which is why one of our priorities is to provide an upgrade from the “old” devices to the latest version.
There are two possibilities of obtaining the latest upgrades:
- The simpler but more expensive method is buying a new still and obtaining credit for the “old” device. To obtain full details please contact your regional GENIO representative or contact us at [email protected]
- Purchase GENIO Still Upgrade Kit
With the GENIO Still Upgrade Kit, “old” stills reach capabilities of the New Series GENIO Still. Therefore, this is a “renovation” of the old system rather than acquisition of a new GENIO Still.
Why upgrade from the “old” system to GENIO Still?
By upgrading your “old” system’s hardware and software, you will obtain significantly improved functionality, thus raising manufacturing capabilities of your spirits and minimize or remove shortcomings of the “old” system.
Upgrade of the hardware and software includes several changes to column components
that need to be replaced with the purchased items
New AUTOMATIC POWER CONTROL HEATING system – in the “old” system heating power was fixed at 0%, 50% and 100%, with a possible “correction” using manual control.
By utilizing new sensors for temperature, pressure and electric current measurements, the computer’s algorithm analyzes this information and optimizes the HEATING output to maximize the functionality of the COLUMN (adjustments to heating power are done several hundred times during a distillation run ).
With this new further automated system, we are able to solve problems associated with instability of the column including flooding, increase process efficiency and strength of produced distillate.
New COLUMN HEAD (DEPHLEGMATOR) – designed, constructed, tested, and manufactured by our company.
The new layered system inside the column head collects alcohol and divides a portion to be extracted as distillate, and a portion to be returned to the column as reflux. The new design contributes to a more stable column operation, protecting against flooding and boosts the efficiency of the column.
We pride ourselves in being the only company in the market with such an innovative column head design.
New TOUCH SCREEN COMPUTER – whole column is controlled with a new computer which has a several times larger processor along with a new color touch screen display.
The new touch screen computer display has extended menu options and extensive help library. It offers clarifying information necessary for the conduct of the distilling process and other new features that were previously unavailable with the old system.
The system is built with focus on proving the most user friendly operating interface.
New POWER CONTROL MODULE.
All electronics including wiring has been designed and built from the ground up, taking into account previous observations of the use of stills. Our stills are UL certifiable. The procedure for obtaining UL certification is now complete and we will be providing FREE update to existing GENIO customers.
FREE update with acquired UL certification applies only to equipment purchased before the end of UL certification.
New SOFTWARE UPDATES.
Capability of downloading updates into your computer and uploading the file to the GENIO Still using a USB cable. The whole operation takes approximately one minute and requires running the supplied file on your Windows computer.
Other new FEATURES.
The upgrade kit also includes: new certified electrical wiring and connectors ensuring trouble-free operation, new electric heating elements fitted with the new automated heating system, digital temperature sensors and pressure sensors, as well as many smaller improvements and modifications to improve the overall performance and operation of the still.
