Our laboratory-scale essential oil steam distillation equipment is designed for water-sealed steam distillation of essential oils and aromatic components from plant leaves, flowers, herbs, and animal-derived materials.
It is widely used in industries such as traditional Chinese medicine, healthcare products, biopharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food processing.
Compact and versatile, this system is ideal for R&D departments in universities, research institutes, corporate labs, and small-batch production in pharmaceutical factories.
Key Features of Our Essential Oil Steam Distillation Equipment
Rapid & Safe Extraction: Non-toxic, non-flammable, and environmentally friendly operation.
Indirect Heating: Uses thermal oil for indirect heating, achieving 100°C efficiently under clean, safe, and ambient conditions. Integrates with a vacuum pump to accelerate steam flow through the condenser, enabling rapid collection of volatile oils in the oil-water separator.
Customizable Capacity: Distillation tank volume ranges from 3 to 1000 liters (customizable).
Durable Materials: Condenser and oil-water separator are crafted from high-borosilicate glass (heat-resistant and shatterproof) for the entire process of visualized essential oil separation. Stainless steel SUS304 options available.
Innovative Basket Design: Features a distillation basket to simplify material-solution separation, preventing residue buildup and discharge port clogging.
Enhanced Condensation: Droplet-shaped or short-path reflux condensers ensure rapid steam cooling, boosting oil yield, efficiency, and cost savings.
Smart Controls: Equipped with digital display or touchscreen control systems (customizable for specific needs).
Versatile Modes: Supports co-hydration , water-sealed distillation, and atmospheric-pressure or negative pressure extraction.
Premium Construction: Entire unit made of SUS304 stainless steel for durability and compliance.
Transparent Process: Includes liquid level control, illuminated glass sight glasses, and full-process visual control.
Compact & Compliant: Space-saving design (≈1㎡ footprint) meets GMP pharmaceutical standards.
