Product type
A steam distillation unit is a specialized apparatus used for the separation of volatile compounds from non-volatile substances through the process of distillation. It operates by passing steam through a mixture, which vaporizes the desired components, allowing them to be condensed and collected separately. These units are typically constructed from materials such as stainless steel or glass, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.
| Material | Stainless steel or glass |
| Operating pressure | Up to 10 bar |
| Temperature range | Up to 200°C |
| Distillation capacity | From 1 liter to several hundred liters per batch |
| Heating method | Electric, steam, or hot water |
| Cooling method | Air-cooled or water-cooled condensers |
When selecting a steam distillation unit, consider the material construction to ensure compatibility with the substances being processed. Specify the required capacity based on your production needs and the desired operating pressure and temperature ranges for your application. Additionally, check for any necessary certifications or compliance with industry standards. It is also important to discuss the heating and cooling methods that will best suit your operational requirements.
