5L Rotary-Column Still + Thermometer + Separation Grates

🛢️ 5 L Rotary-Column Still + Thermometer + Separation Grates

✨ Versatility, control and efficiency for your distillation processes

The 5 L Rotary-Column Still is primarily designed for steam distillation of plants and flowers, while also being suitable for all types of alcoholic distillation.

Its configuration combines a 5 L boiler with a hinged rotary column, making it easy to empty and reload plant material. This version also includes a thermometer and two separation grates to help control and manage different types of distillation.

🌿 Plant and Flower Distillation

This model allows you to carry out aromatic steam distillation of different plants and flowers to produce hydrosols and essential oils.

The column holds approximately 400 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.

🔄 Thanks to its hinged rotary system, it is possible to carry out between 3 and 5 column loads per distillation, allowing approximately 400–2000 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: 3–4 L per distillation.

🛢️ Approximate pure essential oil output: 15–20 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 still is also suitable for alcoholic distillation, providing a versatile setup for working with different types of distillates using the same equipment.

🔨 Construction and Materials

The still is made from 1 mm thick copper sheet, with a hammered finish that gives it its distinctive traditional appearance.

🔶 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 main 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 makes it possible to carry out several loads during the same distillation, making better use of the still's working capacity and simplifying the production of hydrosols and essential oils.

🌡️ Temperature Control and Separation Grates

The equipment includes a 0–120 °C thermometer for monitoring the temperature during the distillation process.

🔥 The column separation grate helps keep the plant material separated while allowing steam to pass through towards the condenser.

🧱 The boiler separation grate keeps solid material separated from the bottom of the boiler during the corresponding distillation processes.
