Essential Oils

Distillation apparatus for the production of essential oils, as well as spirits from hydrolates of steam distillation
The devices offered here may also be legally acquired in Germany by private individuals, without the permission of customs, if they are not used for the production or purification of alcohol. Up to 2 liters of socket size, these are then also registration-free. For larger boilers, you must register them with your main customs office within 3 working days and affirm on your affidavit that you are not using them to make or purify your alcohol.
Regardless of size, never use the equipment with alcohol, even with taxed alcohol.
If you still want to legally produce a fruit or herbal spirit, use your distillate for the steam distillation for the flavoring of alcohol. You are perfectly allowed to distil hydrolates and essential oils. Then mix the hydrolate with clear alcohol, which is as tasteless as possible (vodka, PrimaSprit). Since most of the essential oils are alcohol-soluble, you can use them, but only drop by drop. In general, you already have a highly aromatic distillate, so you best peel off the oil, and use only the hydrolate. Touch the mixing ratio to your taste. An excessive amount of hydrolates can also spoil the taste. We have e.g. created a very good spirit from the hydrolate of a steam distillation of the first 15 minutes from sage leaves. For our taste, a volume ratio of 2 parts of hydrosol, 3 parts of 96 vol .-% alcohol and 4 parts of distilled water was optimal. If you like it 40 vol .-% strength, mix 1 part of hydrolate with 2 parts of 96 vol .-% and 2 parts of distilled water. Also that was still very delicious, if we personally also the first mixture even better. By the way, you can also obtain 96% Primasprit, taxed. With a steam distillery and primasprit you can legally produce your favorite spirit. By the way, you discover - if not already done - your love for the scents of the essential oils.
In all other countries you have to take into account the laws of your own country. Inform yourself about what is permitted or not.

Measuring flask, 1000 ml, made of laboratory glass, with plastic stopper

Solid still for essential oils

For steam distillation to obtain essential oil

Water / steam boiler and plant room: 10.5 liters,
of which plant area: up to 6 liters,
Counterflow power cooler,
Lockable with tension locks,
Hygiene through high-quality 18/10 stainless steel - no risk of verdigris, no risk of rust.

With the DESTILLIERMEISTER ECO-E10506 you get a great introductory offer bargain with a heavy, thick-walled 18/10 stainless steel kettle in gastro quality and a curved countercurrent high-performance cooler that is only available from us. Thanks to a special bending technique, we can manufacture curved counterflow coolers up to 6 m in length using the double-pipe process, as found in a straight Liebig cooler. Our counterflow cooler can be seen as a further development of the Liebig cooler. The cooler of the DESTILLIERMEISTER ECO-E10506 has a full 80 cm cooling length. Distillation bridges with Liebig coolers of this length would be difficult to handle with a total length of 140 cm and are therefore no longer offered. However, a longer cooling length means significantly less cooling water consumption, because the heat can be released into the cooling water at lower flow rates. A good cooler with an optimally set flow rate can be recognized by the fact that the waste water comes out hot at the outlet and the distillate is still well cooled.

Option: Extension of the cooling length of the counterflow cooler

Option: Extension of the cooling length of the counterflow cooler from 3 m to 6 m

Extension of the cooling length of stills with a standard cooling length of 3 m

This option is only available in connection with the purchase of a still with a cooling length of 3 m

With the extension, the elevation and the connections are also adjusted.

This extension can be useful in the following cases:

The cooling water consumption should be reduced,
The output of the furnace should be increased. An extension should be considered for heating outputs significantly above 10 kW.
A JUMBO-E5024 may later be expanded to include additional plant space, which would require an increase in the necessary heating output.
