Large Still for Essential Oil - Supreme-Plus

Building optimised distilleries for 18 years

DESTILLIERMEISTER E2-4 Supreme-Plus- with all the necessary accessories for professional work

Legal, registration-free distillery made of stainless steel for essential oils and with a full 4 litres of plant space.

This system differs from the standard E2-4 variant in the following improvements:

• The boiler and plant tube are not rigidly connected but can be separated using a 3/4" V4A screw connection.
• The plug-in socket for the distilling bridge is made of high-quality V4A stainless steel (instead of gunmetal in the standard version).
• The plant basket is height-adjustable so that smaller quantities can also be distilled.

25 ml of essential oil in 10 minutes - that's what we achieved with 400 g of lavender flowers.

With 4 litres of plant space, you have plenty of volume to process larger quantities of plants or drugs. The vapour is generated in an extra boiler under the plant container, so that contact with boiling water can be ruled out.

The best thing is: As the water boiler only has a volume of 2 litres despite the large plant container, the DESTILLIERMEISTER E2-4 Supreme-Plus can also be sold and operated legally in Germany and Austria without having to be reported to customs.

Simple handling:

• Fill at least 1.3 litres, no more than 1.7 litres, ideally demineralised or distilled water into the water/steam boiler, place the larger seal over the edge of the boiler.
• Attach the 4 litre plant tube and close the boiler with the clamp fasteners 1.1.
• Place the flavour basket in the plant tube and open.
• Fill up to the rim with herbs or drugs - do not compress. There are about 4.2 litres. Place the small seal over the edge.
• Put on the lid 3. and tighten the caps 2.4,
• Insert the distillation bridge 5 into the socket 4.1,
• Screw the cooling water hoses to the radiator.
• Switch on the heat source and collect the hydrolat with oil at 5.6.
• Distil for about 10 minutes at higher power (induction plate 3000 watts). There should be 500 ml of distillate.

Water / vapour container and plant / drug pipe, as well as all distillate-carrying pipes and connections are made of stainless steel.

Construction

Details

1. Water / steam boiler with lid, 2 litres. Approx. 1.7 litres of water are filled.
   1. 4 clamp fasteners to securely close the water/steam boiler.
   2. Lid
      1. 3/4" screw connection for connection to the plant pipe.

3. Plant/drug pipe, approx. 4.2 litre capacity.
   1. Screw nipple for connection to the water boiler,
   2. 4 clamps for closing the plant tube with the lid 3.

4. Lid with socket for the distilling bridge 4.
   1. Socket made of V4A stainless steel.

5. Distilling bridge with curved counterflow capacity cooler with a cooling length of at least 85 cm.
   1. Riser pipe
   2. Thermometer socket
   3. Double-tube cooler in counterflow (outer jacket, inner core. The cooling water flows between the core and shell and the vapour or liquefied distillate flows in the core. Cooling water and distillate flow in opposite directions).
   4. Cooling water inlet
   5. Hot water outlet
   6. Hydrolat outlet

6. Digital thermometer with silicone stopper, insert into 5.2.

7. Flavour basket with adjustable legs. When the pipe is completely full, insert into the steam pipe - without screwing in the adjustable legs. The aroma basket is then about 3 cm away from the base and has a closed storage area in the centre, so that the rising steam jet does not flow directly through the plant material and blow a tunnel due to the jet effect, which would lead to heavy losses. The vapour initially flows radially due to the accumulation surface and then rises due to its own thermal effect. The plant tube has a height/diameter ratio greater than 1, so that an effective chimney effect favours the drag effect If you also want to work with smaller quantities of plant material, you can screw in the legs and adjust the height of the basket variably. Caution: Do not heat with more than 1500 watts when only half full.

8. 500 g blue lavender flowers in distillation quality in a flavour and light protection bag.
