72-Liter Copper Essential Oil Distiller – Coil Condenser

The 72-liter copper essential oil distiller with coil condenser is designed for the steam distillation (hydrodistillation) of a wide range of essential oils. It features a coil-cooling system and a filter column fitted between the boiler and the pre-chamber to improve 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. It is handcrafted in Italy by master artisans.

Using the still is straightforward: fill the boiler with water, place the botanicals on the copper mesh inside the filter column, fit the water-cooled condenser, connect the inlet and outlet hoses for continuous cooling circulation and place the unit over the heat source.

The distillate collected will initially be a mixture of aromatic water and essential oil. Let it rest so the liquids separate according to their different specific weights, or use a separating funnel to speed up the process.

The still is suitable for producing essential oils for perfumes, liqueurs and remedies, as well as 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 (hydrosol).
