Iris / Orris Root (Iris germanica, Iris pallida) Distillation Plant
Our Iris/Orris Root Distillation Plant is designed for the efficient extraction of high-quality orris essential oil (orris butter) from Iris germanica and Iris pallida rhizomes using advanced steam distillation technology. The extracted orris oil is highly valued in luxury perfumery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and aromatherapy due to its sweet, floral, and woody fragrance rich in irone compounds.
How It Works?
- Raw Material Preparation: Iris roots are harvested and dried for 2-5 years to enhance irone concentration. The dried rhizomes are cleaned, peeled, and ground for better oil yield.
- Steam Distillation: High-pressure steam passes through the ground rhizomes, breaking down cell structures and releasing orris butter.
- Condensation & Separation: The steam-oil mixture is cooled in a condenser, allowing the oil to separate from the water.
- Oil Collection & Filtration: The extracted orris butter is collected, filtered, and refined for high purity.
- Quality Testing & Standardization: The oil is analyzed for purity, irone content, and fragrance intensity.
- Packaging & Storage: The final product is stored in airtight, UV-protected containers to maintain freshness and longevity.
