ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for continuously fermenting a moist particulate feed and distilling the fermentation product is disclosed in which a pressure-locked auger forces a moist particulate feed from a hopper into a fermentation tank, liquor is removed from the tank and solids are separated therefrom to produce a beer which is distilled in a distillation column. A combustion engine powers the auger and the means for separating solids, and the engine exhaust surrounds an inlet section of said auger to help heat the pressurized feed therein to produce fermentable sugar within the auger, and the auger includes a section passing to the tank in heat exchange relation to the distillation column to provide heat for distillation. The column is a multistage column angled to face the sun and has an upper glass plate to allow solar radiation to enter and penetrate between the foraminous plates of the column.
