To preserve these delicate compounds, the distillation process must be carried out under precise conditions – something Mechotech distillation systems are expertly designed to achieve.
Pinyon Pine Oil Distillation Process
Mechotech’s Pinyon Pine Distillation Plant employs state-of-the-art steam distillation technology to extract maximum volatile oils and preserve natural aroma and bioactivity.
Step By Step Process:
- Raw material preparation:
Fresh or dried partially pine needles, twigs and cones are gathered, washed and gently crushed to enhance surface area and yield more oil. - Loading the distillation chamber:
The prepared material is charged into a stainless steel distillation vessel (SS 316/304) that is likewise designed to have maximum vapor flow and heat transfer. - Steam generation:
Saturated steam from the boiler is passed through the biomass and vaporizes the essential oils contained within the pine material. - Condensation:
The vapor mixture (steam + oil) is directed through the condenser, where it is cooled and reduced to a liquid state. - Oil-water separation:
By employing a Florentine separator, the oil is separated from the hydrosol (aqueous phase) because of the density difference. - Filtering and Storage:
Pinyon pine essential oil obtained is filtered, purity tested and stored in a light-proof, air-tight container to avoid oxidation and deterioration.
