Abstract

In Bali, there is an alcoholic drink that is traditionally distilled by Balinese villagers. The drink is well known as Arrack Bali distilled from fermented sap of palm flower. The use of traditional distillation equipment makes villagers unable to produce the drink with consistent quality. In fact, the demand for the quality is quite high because the drink is already in demand by foreign tourists. With these considerations, it is necessary to develop an affordable machine that is able to produce the Balinese distilled drink with good and consistent quality. This paper presents a local based distillation machine specifically developed for production of the Balinese distilled drink. The machine integrates novelties which comprise a refrigeration distiller and smart controller for both distiller and boiler. The distiller is a coil on tube heat exchanger which can absorb heat of Arrack vapor and condense it in the distiller tube. The distiller tube is cooled by refrigerant R-134A which is flowing in the evaporator pipe that is coiled on the outer surface of the tube. Experimental investigation was established to evaluate the performance of the refrigerated distiller and the boiler of the novel and affordable distillation machine. The results showed that the refrigerated distiller and boiler can perform reliably with several temperature set and production process characteristics. In addition, production test results showed various good quality variants of Arrack Bali could be produced consistently with alcohol content ranging from 20% up to 40% by volume. These variants are resulted from production characteristics at boiler temperature varied from 87 up to 93 °C and refrigerated distiller temperature from 5 to 27 °C and corresponding production time from 1 hour up to 6 hours. Beside the potential to produce good and consistent quality Balinese distilled drink, the novel distillation machine was also found to noticeably improve the productivity of distillation process.
