Plant Oil Extractor
Introduction
Plant Oil Extraction Equipment is a modern apparatus specifically designed to extract high-purity essential oils and hydrosols from aromatic plants. Utilizing advanced steam distillation technology, this equipment employs scientific structural design and precise process control to ensure the preservation of natural components while enhancing extraction efficiency. It finds extensive application in the cosmetics, aromatherapy, food flavoring, and pharmaceutical industries.
- Volume: 50 – 2000L
- Material: SUS304
Working Principle
The equipment supports three distillation methods: water-over-oil distillation, water-in-oil distillation, and direct steam distillation. The workflow is as follows:
- Loading Stage: Pre-processed plant material is loaded into the extraction tank;
- Heating and Distillation: The steam system is activated, with steam passing through the plant layer;
- Component Release: Thermal energy ruptures plant glands, releasing essential oil molecules;
- Vapor Transport: Essential oil molecules rise with steam vapor into the condensation system;
- Condensation Conversion: Hot steam cools in the condenser, forming an oil-water mixture;
- Separation Collection: The mixture enters the oil-water separator, where essential oil and hydrosol automatically separate by layering;
- Circulation Optimization: Adjustable water flow recirculates to the extraction tank for repeated distillation, enhancing extraction efficiency.
