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. Aseparatory funnelor small pipette could then be used to separate the oil from water.
Ahot plate or a kitchen stove could be used for a heat source. The steam distillation apparatus contains everything else you will need:
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.
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
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
