This process complete, the fer-mented pulp is distilled in the apparatus devisedby Cellier-Blumenthal (see Fig. 15) for distillingmaterials of a pasty nature; the product has avery unpleasant odor and taste. The process above described is the old methodof pulping the potatoes by using steam. Underthe modem method, however, and with modemapparatus, in preparing potatoes for distillationin large quantities, the steaming of the materialis accomplished at one time and under a high 118 DISTILLATION OF ALCOHOL.

There are many apparatuses which have beendevised for the purpose, but the principle onv/hich they work is practically the same in allcases. They comprise a closed tank, fitted withstirrers, agitators, or other means for mixing and. nnnnHnni Fig. 45.—Bohns Steamer and Crusher. comminuting the contents, means for admittingsteam under pressure, means for cooling the mix-ture to the proper mashing temperatures, andmeans for forcing the steamed material out of thetank.

A modi-fied form of the apparatus known as Bohnssteamer and masher is illustrated in Fig. 45.
