Steamer-oil extractor 250l, plants, seeds

High-quality stainless distillation-extractor 250L. Made in Italy. With the device, it is possible to produce various essential and vegetable oils very easily and quickly. Available in sizes 12 - 250L. The bottom of the unit is filled with water up to the grate and plant material is added and heated to boiling on a gas or electric stove. As a result of distillation, water vapor is released together with vegetable oils, which are captured in a glass flask, which in turn is cooled with water (the cooling process must start at approx. +50C). Since oil is lighter than water, oil and water separate from each other in the glass flask. The whole process takes approx. 60-70 min depending on the power of the heater. The devices can use fresh or dried plant material such as lavender, mint, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, sage, oregano, chamomile, rose, eucalyptus, lemon balm, peppermint, wormwood, basil, verbena grass, cypress, mountain pines, helichrysum, geranium, eucalyptus, juniper, mastic, marjoram, parsley, rue, turpentine, valerian, etc. Packaging: Weight 48 kg, Size (LxWxH) 80x60x120 cm HOW TO USE? 1 ° Place the water in the boiler. The water must not exceed the level established by the grid previously placed at the bottom. 2 ° Place the plants in the still, avoiding blockages in the steam outlet pipes. 3 ° Place the upper grate and close the still lid 4 ° Attach the steel tube and the Pyrex glass burette 5 ° Turn on the heat source. Use the cooling system when the temperature has reached 50 °C. 6 ° When a temperature of about 100 ° C is reached, the steam grabs the essence from the plants due to the difference in the specific gravity of water and oils 7 ° After about one hour, check the rise of the oil level in the collection cylinder 8 ° Turn off the heat source if the rise is negligible 9 ° Collect the extracted oil through the tap placed at the bottom of the burette. Clean the still..
