In 2023, Corporación Azende, a rising spirits producer in Ecuador, sought to upgrade its production capabilities by investing in a reliable, efficient, and professionally engineered craft distillation system. With increasing demand for their products, they needed equipment that could guarantee consistent quality, stable operation, and long-term durability. After evaluating multiple suppliers, the company selected our team to design and manufacture a complete 500L grain distillation system, along with full onsite installation and commissioning services.
This project represented more than just delivering equipment; it was a full turnkey collaboration involving design consultation, custom engineering, manufacturing, international logistics, onsite installation, operator training, and test production.
I. Project Overview
The complete 500L distillation solution supplied to Corporación Azende included:
1.) 500L Fermentation Tank
Designed with sanitary stainless steel, glycol cooling jacket, CIP spray ball, and precise temperature regulation. This ensures stable fermentation conditions, allowing the yeast to perform optimally and produce a clean, high-quality wash.
2.) 500L Hybrid Distillation Still
A versatile system capable of operating both as a pot still and a column still.
Key features include:
Copper and stainless steel construction
Multi-plate rectification column for adjustable purity
Dephlegmator with cooling control
Aromatic basket option for flavored spirits
This hybrid design gives the distillery flexibility to produce a wide variety of products—from whisky and rum to vodka, gin, and neutral spirits.
3.) Chiller Unit
A high-efficiency refrigeration system supplying circulation cooling to condensers, fermentation tanks, and process equipment. The chiller is designed for stable performance in Ecuador’s climate.
4.) Control Cabinet
An easy-to-operate control system providing temperature monitoring, pump control, heating control, and real-time process feedback. Safety protections and alarms ensure reliable operation.
5.) Portable CIP Pump
II. Onsite Installation & Technical Support in Ecuador
What made this project especially successful was not only the equipment itself but the level of service we provided. After the equipment arrived in Ecuador, our installation engineering team traveled directly to Corporación Azende’s facility to perform:
* Complete onsite installation and piping connection
* Startup and commissioning of all equipment
* Calibration of heating, cooling, and control systems
* Training of the local distilling team
* Guidance through the full brewing and distillation process
Throughout the installation period, our engineers worked closely with the customer’s team, ensuring they fully understood how to operate, clean, and maintain each component of the system. We also ran test batches of spirits directly onsite, verifying that the equipment achieved the expected performance in terms of alcohol purity, flavor profile, and production efficiency.
By the time our team left Ecuador, Corporación Azende’s staff had complete confidence in operating their new 500L distillation system independently.
III. Two Years of Stable Operation
Since commissioning, the 500L distillation system has been running successfully for over two years. Corporación Azende has reported:
* Excellent equipment stability
* Consistent spirit quality
* Low maintenance requirements
* Energy-efficient heating and cooling
* High yield and effective production workflow
* Strong reliability of the control and steam systems
The distillery has continued to expand its product line and production volume thanks to the performance of this system. Their success serves as a strong validation of the engineering quality, craftsmanship, and ongoing support we provide.
IV. Why This Project Matters
This Ecuador case proves our ability to deliver not just equipment, but a complete, end-to-end distillation solution:
* Custom design
* High-standard manufacturing
* International transport coordination
* Onsite installation and technical service
* Operator training
* Long-term after-sales support
Regardless of location, we are committed to helping distillery clients worldwide launch or expand their production smoothly and confidently.
