This Essential Oil Distiller is made from high quality borosilicate glass and is designed for steam extraction of essential oils from plant materials.
By using our threaded system you can say "goodbye" to messy joint grease, tubing and rubber stoppers. The only material that comes in contact with your materials is borosilicate glass and PTFE plastic. PTFE is a clean and nonstick material used to handle materials across many industries and is inert to practically everything it comes in contact with.
Our system takes advantage of an open to atmosphere design so that steam pressure never builds up within the system. This makes the process much safer to operate. The vertical design keeps the biomass flask dry and it uses separate flask for boiling which means that over heating or burning your plant materials will never happen. The filter traps up to 20mL of "heavier than water" or "lighter than water" oils and automatically drains excess condensed water. This allows you to start distillation and proceeds on its own without the need of your constant attention.
When distillation is complete, this apparatus doubles as a tapered separatory funnel so you can separate your oil from the remaining (Hydrosol) water.
