Description
The EOV2000 is a true vertical steam distillation™ unit made from scientific-grade borosilicate glass, specifically designed for easy steam extraction of essential oils from plant materials by the non-chemist at home, resulting in the highest purity essential oils
Unlike other steam distillation units on the market, EOV2000 offers true "dry steam" distillation in an all glass (Pyrex) system. Coupled together with ground glass joints, there are no hoses or rubber stoppers in contact with your product...it's ALL glass!
The "open-to-atmosphere" design means that steam pressure can never build up in the system, making the system much safer to operate and insuring that the distillation process will take place at exactly 100 degrees C (at sea level) and not a degree higher!
EOV2000's simple design addresses a number of problems associated with competitives stills, Because of it's "vertical" design, the biomass flask™ stays dry, none of the "boiling water" is wastefully condensed and trapped in the biomass flask™, and because it uses separate flasks for boiling and biomass™, there's further insurance that overheating or possibly burning your plant material will never happen.
Our UNIQUELY DESIGNED RECEIVER™ (click for info) traps up to 20mL of either "heavier than water" oils or "lighter than water" oils while automatically draining away the excess condensed water (the "Hydrosol", that can be kept for many purposes) thus allowing you to start the distillation and let it proceed on it's own without constant need of attention.
When the distillation is complete, the receiver™ then doubles as a tapered separatory funnel, allowing you to easily separate your prized oil from the remaining water.
