Retort agitation system and method

A system for agitating a product in a distiller includes a clamping assembly configured to selectively apply a first clamping force on a first end of at least one product support and a second relative clamping force on a second end of the at least one product support, and a reciprocating assembly configured to reciprocate the first clamping force and the second clamping force, the reciprocating assembly is configured to exert a linear force on the product support for reciprocating movement of the product support along the distiller. A method of processing a product in a distiller includes arranging the product in at least one product support for movement along the distiller and reciprocating the at least one product support along the distiller in a non-sinusoidal pattern of motion. 一种用于在蒸馏器中搅动产品的系统，包括夹持组件和往复组件，该夹持组件被构造成选择性地在至少一个产品支撑部的第一端上施加第一夹持力和在至少一个产品支撑部的第二端上施加第二相对夹持力，该往复组件被构造成在产品支撑部上施加线性力，用于使产品支撑部沿着蒸馏器往复移动。一种在蒸馏器中处理产品的方法，包括：将产品布置在至少一个产品支撑部中，用于沿着蒸馏器移动，并且使至少一个产品支撑部以非正弦运动模式沿着蒸馏器往复运动。
