30-Liter Steam Distillation Still - Mushroom Condenser (Copper)

The 30-liter steam distillation still with mushroom condenser, also known as an essential oil distiller, is designed for the steam distillation (hydrodistillation) of essential oils. It features a direct-cooling mushroom condenser and a filter column fitted between the boiler and the pre-chamber to enhance reflux and filtration.

Made entirely of copper with a thickness of 1.2 mm, the still includes an analog thermometer for monitoring the boiler's internal temperature and guiding the separation of heads, hearts and tails during distillation. This essential oil alembic is handcrafted in Italy by master artisans.

It is suitable for the production of essential oils for perfumes, liqueurs and remedies, as well as for spirits such as grappa, brandy, whisky and fruit distillates. It can also be used for high-proof alcohol such as vodka, where legally permitted.

We recommend pairing the distiller with a separating funnel to simplify the separation of essential oils from the aromatic water.
