Large premium stills up to 48 liters of plant space optimized for essential oils

DISTILLING MASTER JUMBO E7448 Premium
Optimized distilling plant for steam distillation for the production of essential oil
Essential oils by steam distillation. The distillation system DESTILLIERMEISTER E7448-Premium is optimized for the extraction of essential oils. It has a maximum drug volume of 48 liters, which can be extended by another 12 liters. Essential oil obtained by steam-entraining distillation has a particularly high quality, because the temperature in the drug container with this method remains below the evaporation temperatures of the water and oils and thus the essential flavors are conserved. Especially the stainless steel distilling devices of the premium models of the DESTILLIERMEISTER E series work with a pressure reducing precondensor, so that with these stills a particularly high product quality is achieved. After condensation of the oil-bearing hydrolates in the precondensor, the downstream high-performance cooler cools the essential oils to the desired temperature.
The DESTILLIERMEISTER E7448 Premium:

• Solid thick-walled water / steam boiler made of 18/10 stainless steel and three-layer thermo bottom: 25 liters,

• steam-dynamically optimized plant basket: 12 liters,

• 3 plant box extensions: 12 liters each.

• Spherical helmet to reduce dripping loss.

• Insulated standpipe to prevent premature condensation.

• Precondensor to reduce pressure and temperature to preserve the essential aromas.

• Counter-current, high performance cooler.

• With a variable tripod mounted cooling system, so that the boiler can be recharged independently of it.

Construction

1. Boiler for steam production, 26 liters. Maximum water capacity 15 liters.

2. Lower plant basket with large opening ratio, 12 liters. For highly comminuted drugs, the foldable sieve 19 can be inserted. But this should - if possible - be avoided so as not to disturb the steam dynamics. In general, even finer cuts fill in the basket, because the herbs interlock with each other. The parts of the plant that fall through at the beginning can be caught and topped up again.

11. 5 tripod tubes to stabilize the periphery to allow a re-loading of the baskets without disassembly.

    1. 3 tripod tubes for setting up the high performance cooler. The tripod tubes are pushed through the cross sleeves attached to the radiator with the eye bolts and fixed with the eye bolts. The cooler is positioned so that the spiral turns almost everywhere have slopes. The fact that the tripod tubes can be both tilted and rotated and can be changed continuously in height, the radiator can be adjusted in a wide range in height and set up as desired. Thus, the plant can also be placed directly in the harvest field on terrain with uneven ground.

More information
This system is optimized so that the bottom of the plant basket does not interfere with the dynamics of the steam and the pressure loss during cross-section reduction to the cooler is minimized. The plant basket extension is carried out without soil, so that doubling the plant space no back drop losses occur. As a result, a pressure increase in the boiler and a resulting steam overheating are avoided, which would result in the destruction of heat-sensitive ethereal aromas. This was achieved by a high permeability of the basket bottom and a precondensation of the oily vapor. The steam is passed into the precondensor with only a small reduction in cross-section and pre-cooled, so that hot condensed hydrolate is introduced into the actual high-performance cooler. Thus, the main radiator produces no more pressure loss.
Our own investigations with such an optimized test facility have shown that the differential pressure to the environment in the unfilled plant is less than 10 Pascal, whereas before the optimization it was more than 1000 Pascal. This is a considerable improvement and the technical requirements for the steam distillation are now optimal.
When feeding with plants you should make sure that they are poured only loosely. Under no circumstances should the plants be compacted, as this can lead to the destruction of the steam dynamics. The ideal filling height of the plant baskets should be determined specifically by experiment. In fresh plants it has been shown that 4 to 5 basket units are ideal. For dried drugs, it should be a maximum of only 3-4.
For sealing between the individual pots, the supplied profile seals are mounted on the pot edges so that the short lip is positioned outside of the pot edge. The plant baskets are placed straight on and evenly pressed. In order for the steam dynamics to develop sufficiently, the kettle should at the beginning only be filled with a maximum of 15 liters of water. This water is sufficient for at least 3 distillations of a maximum of 1/2 hour.
Optionally, a ball valve for refilling water can be installed in the pot. In addition, an external steam supply via a steam generator is possible. For this, the pot must be prepared, which is also possible as an option. Ideal for the DISTILLIERMEISTER E7448-Premium is a steam generator that delivers between 20 kg and 25 kg of saturated steam per hour.
In addition, insulation of the plant container or at least the helmet is recommended because it is lost by cooling oil by condensation. This is largely avoided by insulation. With external steam supply, the boiler should also be insulated. In the simplest case, the insulation can be done by wrapping in thermal blankets.

Notes on heating:
A steam power of between 9 and 12 kW is required for an optimal energy supply. In order to achieve this power, a gas furnace of between 23 and 30 kW would be required with an efficiency of 40%. In order to fire the system directly, this power would have to be provided over a diameter of 30 cm (boiler bottom diameter). It would be easier to generate the steam in a larger, outsourced boiler and to introduce the steam into boiler 1. For this purpose we offer a vapor delivery option.
Option: installation of steam supply for external steam supply
