Distillation Apparatus

Distillation Apparatus can be used to produce high purity water, phenol, etc. by simple distillation. This unit has a capacity of 1000ml, and is made of borosilicate glass with a gram condenser.

Distillation Set - Save 5% A complete set-up, including the distillation apparatus described above, with a 24" support stand, a 4" support ring, and 2 burette clamps.

Please note: the condenser is water-cooled. Check out accessories for all necessary Tubing, Adaptors, Temperature Assemblies and Hydrometers.

Temperature Assembly
This assembly consists of a 1-hole rubber stopper sized to fit the distillation flask in place of the normal glass stopper. The partial immersion thermometer reads up to 110 C. for applications where temperature must be closely monitored in the distillation procedure. For most accurate readings the thermometer bulb should be positioned just below the side arm.

LB158	2000ml Temperature Assembly	$3.95

Distillation Accessories Kit

Everything you need to connect your water-cooled condenser to a standard faucet:

Rubber tubing, 3/8" by 10' roll
Dual Thread Faucet Adaptor
3/8" Tube Adaptor

LB159 $11.95

Boiling Stones, 1 oz
Solid glass beads, from 4 to 6mm diameter. Used in boiling to relieve hot spots, glass beads will help prevent instantaneous vaporization known as "bumping".
LB60P $1.50

Steam Distillation Kit
Steam distillation is the best method to separate essential oils from plant material, because unlike simple distillation, the product does not have to be liquid at room temperature for separation.

Using our steam distillation apparatus, the steam passes through the biomass & picks up the oils of the material in vapor form. Then as the vapor passes into the condenser it is quickly cooled & changed back into a liquid. This liquid will be primarily water, with the essential oil in the surface or bottom. A separatory funnel or small pipette could then be used to separate the oil from water.

A hot plate or a kitchen stove could be used for a heat source. The steam distillation apparatus contains everything else you will need:

Graham Condenser
Stand and Clamp
Water Supply Tubing
All Necessary Faucet and Tubing Adaptors
2000ml Steam and Product Flasks
All Food Grade Norprene Product Tubing
All Necessary Glass Tubing and Rubber Stoppers
600ml Catch Basin

Super Reflux Oil Extractor

NEW Check out our Lavender Distillation!

Ready for extracting essential oils on a larger scale? This high-quality distillation apparatus features a stainless steel boiling chamber with a 7 gallon capacity. A screen basket stand suspends the plant material above the water level. Steam is generated internally with a 110v electric element that completely eliminates the danger of an external heat source. The water-cooled condenser unit is made of copper, and all tubing and connectors are included.

During our evaluation we were esaly able to extract a little over one ounce of high purity essential oil from 2 pounds of fresh lavender (Enlish and French mix) in about 1 1/2 hours. A Separatory Funnel is recomended for separating the essential oil from the hydrosol.

More Information

1380 watt, 110 volt heating element.
25 liter (7 gallon) boiling chamber.
Screen basket stand included.
Thermometer included.
Tubing and faucet adaptor included.

Replacement Element
Replacement element for the essential oil extractor. Please remember, the element must remain under water. If you allow the still to run dry you are likely to damage your element.
ST-2E $46.95

Graham Condenser
Graham-type coil condensers, these high-quality borosilicate glass condensers measure 39 cm overall. Cooling water inlet and outlet diameter is 5mm, use 3/8" rubber tubing. The machine tapered product inlet measures 14mm. This is the same size condenser used with the 1000ml distillation apparatus. An excellent value!
