3L Rotary-Column Still

🛢️ 3 L Rotary-Column Still

✨ Compact, versatile and designed for efficient distillation

The 3 L Rotary-Column Still is primarily designed for steam distillation of aromatic plants and flowers, while also being suitable for alcoholic distillation.

Its hinged rotary column makes loading, unloading and reloading plant material much easier, allowing you to make better use of the still throughout the distillation process.

🌿 Aromatic Distillation

This model is designed for steam distillation of aromatic plants and flowers to produce hydrosols and essential oils.

The column holds approximately 300 g of plants or flowers per load. Once the plant material has released most of its essential oils, the column can be emptied and reloaded during the same distillation.

🌸 This makes it possible to carry out between 3 and 5 column loads per distillation, allowing approximately 300–1500 g of plants or flowers to be processed in a single session.

💧 Hydrosol and Essential Oil Production

The system is designed to produce both hydrosols and essential oils through steam distillation.

💧 Approximate hydrosol output: 2–2.5 L per distillation.

🛢️ Approximate essential oil output: 10–15 ml per distillation.

Actual yields may vary depending on the type of plant or flower used, its essential oil content and the specific characteristics of each distillation.

🍹 Alcoholic Distillation

In addition to its use with plants and flowers, this model is also suitable for alcoholic distillation, making it a versatile option for those who want to use the same still for different distillation applications.

🔨 Construction and Materials

The still is made from 1 mm thick copper, a traditional material widely used in distillation thanks to its excellent heat conductivity.

🔶 Material: copper

📏 Thickness: 1 mm

🔨 Finish: hammered copper

✨ Handles: polished brass

✨ Nuts: polished brass

⚒️ Construction: welded joints for greater durability

⚙️ Rotary-Column System

One of the key features of this model is its hinged rotary column.

🔄 The hinge allows the column to be opened and rotated, making it easy to empty and reload the plant material between loads.

This configuration allows several plant loads to be processed during a single distillation, making better use of the still's capacity while simplifying the production of hydrosols and essential oils.
