Ceramic Top Hot Plate
NEW!
Designed for laboratory use, this is a variable heat control, ceramic top heater. The heat is generated from resistant coils recessed into the ceramic top. It also comes with a removable ceramic top plate especially designed for round bottom flasks. Features:

Effective temperatures are from ambient to 600 F
Hot plate measures 6 x 6
The open area in the removable ceramic top plate measures 3.75 inch diameter
500 Watts
For round bottom glaswawre up to 1000ml

From our in-house testing we have found this versatile hot plate to be a good low-price alternative for those who do not wish to invest in a $250 Heating Mantle. Using the round-bottom ceramic adaptor we brought 500ml of water to a boil in 14 minutes for a simple distillation procedure. A 5" support ring was able to securely support this compact and efficient heater.

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.
