Looking for a copper pot still maker

[putsinker]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a copper pot still maker, I want a pot for distilling essential oils. Anyone know of a factory making copper pot stills in Thailand. Thanks.

Order from China, 4 litre about 5000 THB.

Apart from "essential oils" other things can be distilled

Do you have info on Chinese still makers, that would be handy. Thanks for the idea.

The ones I use are not copper but the type used for alcohol. although they can be used for distilling oils. ( as well as pure water)

A complete system which you cannot modify I am afraid

I have looked for years for metal spinners in Thailand and never found one ,

I have a friend who could make one by hand but its not going to be cheap like a 5000 baht chinese one ,

India is also a good place to look as metal spinning is a normal thing there probably taught by the British years ago.

Yes, that's where I might end up with the project. I just thought it prudent to ask my Thai visa forum friends before I "Go international" I do believe that the Agar wood oil industry has been going for many years in Thailand so I thought there must be someone out there making copper pots, its just a case of finding them. Thanks for the suggestions anyway, its appreciated.

if you find a Thai metal spinning shop I would love to know about it ,

we had thought of doing it ourselves but the learning curve is pretty high ,

plus the young workers do not stay around very long , so you train them and 6 months- 1 year they are gone ,

for anyone that cares there are some good "how to" videos on youtube
