Distillation

Principle of low-pressure steam distillation

Low-pressure steam is the perfect solution for extracting essential aromas and oils, producing essences and distilling alcohol. Thanks to the principle of :

• direct steam injection heating to bring firm fruit to the boil,
• double tank distillation,
• steam distillation of essential oils.
• Container distillation

Why low-pressure steam for distillation?

Low-pressure steam is not subject to the same standards as high-pressure steam. It can be used for distillation requirements from 30 to 2,500 kg/steam, without the need for regular and costly controls. It's the ideal solution for simple, flexible use of steam in your manufacturing process.

Low-pressure steam at a slightly overheated temperature enables gentle distillation, respecting the quality of the plants. The overheating temperature can be adapted to the needs and requirements of each type of distillation.

Accessories

• condensate return tanks, steam distributors
• water treatment equipment (softener, dosing pump) to improve the life and performance of the steam generator (generator not guaranteed without adequate water treatment and monitoring).

In conclusion

SIMOX low-pressure steam generators meet the specific needs of distillation professionals, guaranteeing optimum results while minimizing the impact of regulations.
