Custom Copper Pot Stills for Whiskey, Bourbon, Gin, Rum and Craft
Spirit Production. Engineered for superior favor development and
commercial reliability.
Investing in commercial distillation equipment is a critical decision. We help distillery owners navigate the complexities of equipment selection to ensure optimal spirit quality and production efficiency.
We analyze your business plan, batch sizes, and target annual output to recommend the perfect volume, from 100L pilot systems to 5000L+ commercial arrays.
Depending on your facility infrastructure and spirit type, we engineer optimal steam jacketed, electric, or direct-fire heating solutions.
Our custom copper pot stills maximize vapor interaction, expertly removing sulfur compounds to guarantee a refined, premium product.
We design custom head shapes, lyne arms, and condensers to achieve the exact reflux ratio needed for your unique flavor profile.
Our modular distillation equipment designs allow for easy integration of additional columns, CIP systems, and automation upgrades.
We build with heavy-duty materials and integrate efficient Clean-in-Place systems to minimize downtime and labor costs.
At Meto Equipment, we understand that the soul of your spirit is forged in the still. Our Copper Pot Stills are engineered based on traditional distillation principles combined with modern manufacturing precision.
Copper naturally reacts with highly volatile sulfur compounds (mercaptans) produced during fermentation, stripping them from the vapor path and preventing harsh, off-flavors.
The catalytic properties of copper promote the formation of esters, enhancing fruity and floral notes, resulting in improved aroma and mouthfeel.
Excellent thermal conductivity ensures even heat distribution, preventing scorching and ensuring consistent, predictable distillation runs.
Built with high-purity, heavy-gauge copper, our stills offer a long equipment lifespan while providing the classic, stunning aesthetic expected in a professional distillery.
We design and manufacture specialized distillation equipment tailored to the unique flavor profiles and production requirements of different spirits.
Designed with specific head shapes such as onion, boil ball, or lantern to control reflux and produce rich, full-bodied spirits. Essential for traditional whiskey production.
Features integrated or offset botanical baskets for vapor infusion, allowing precise extraction of delicate aromas from juniper and other botanicals.
Engineered to handle high-ester molasses or cane juice washes. Often equipped with thumper kegs or retorts for producing heavy traditional rum profiles.
Designed to preserve delicate fruit aromas. We offer traditional Charentais-style configurations or modernized alembic designs for fruit distillates.
From recipe development to mass production, we manufacture copper distillation equipment scaled to your business goals.
Engineered for durability, safety, and operational excellence.
T2 / C1100 grade red copper for maximum sulfur removal.
Expert TIG welding and heavy-duty stainless steel framework.
Optional steam jacket, electric elements, or direct fire bases.
360° spray balls integrated for fast, hygienic maintenance.

Common questions from distillery owners, investors and procurement teams when sourcing copper pot stills.
Work from your annual output and how many runs per week you plan, then convert to still volume with space for charge expansion. Our copper pot stills range from 100L pilot systems to 5000L+. Send your business plan and we will recommend the size.
Yes. Swan neck, lyne arm shape, column or plates, botanical basket and condenser can be adapted to whiskey, bourbon, gin or rum. Custom engineering is part of the service. Tell us your spirit and we will propose a design.
Steam jacket heating is gentle and controllable and needs a boiler. Electric heating is simple and needs power capacity. Direct fire is traditional and low cost, but harder to control. We recommend based on your facility.
Yes, a rotary spray ball and CIP connections can be fitted. For copper parts, use cleaning chemicals compatible with copper and follow our guidance. We supply cleaning instructions.
Our pot stills use TP2 red copper, typically 3 mm for pots and heads. Life depends on use, cleaning and water quality; with proper care a copper still lasts for many years. Parts can be repaired.
Yes. We supply mashing and fermentation, stills, condensers, storage tanks, CIP, controls and layout design, so the whole distillery is coordinated.
