Essential Oil Distiller Steam Variants are Important

Aroma therapy as anyone would know is based on essential oils. The method used to extract these essential oils from various parts of different plants is known as oil distiller. This process also includes a variant which is better known as steam distilling process. You may be surprised to know that even in this age of science where things are so advanced the process of steam distillation is so famous and known.

It is a simple process in which even a non- chemist person can perform at home and can get the purest essential oils in the process. This process needs an essential oil distiller which is specially geared for steam distillation which is made from grade borosilicate glass which is made for easy steam extraction of essential oils from plants.

Ideal Dry Steam Distillation

It is important for the steam essential oil distiller to be able to carry dry steam distillation in glass system, this when accompanied by ground glass joints gives an all glass essential distiller that does not hold any hose or rubber stopper to touch the product. Such a design checks the build-up of steam pressure in the distillation system thus ensuring better safety along with controlling the temperature at hundred degrees Celsius.

 It is said that it would be better if vertical design is selected for essential oil distillers since this will help cope with other factors connected to distillation because this will ensure the biomass flask to remain dry. This in turn will not allow and condensation of water boiled as there are separate flasks used for boiling and biomass so as to ensure that there is no overheating or burning of the plant in the process.

When an essential oil distiller traps as much as 20ml of heavier or lighter than water oils and at the same time drains away unwanted condensed water so that the entire distillation process can go on without interference it is graded to be a good essential oil distiller.

Essential oil distillers are available in different size. You can select any one according to your requirement. They are also available in two litre kit which is ideal to make your own steam distilled essential oils. If your requirement is more then you have an option of a thirty-three liter or eighty-five gallon steam essential oil distiller. You can also choose from large biomass which are available in ten liter size costing about seven hundred dollar or then there is a five liter one which would cost some where around eighty-five dollars.

Hope these tips help you select the best distiller as per your requirement.
