plant leaf oil extraction machine
2025-12-03
Leaf oil extraction machine "usually refers to a device that extracts active ingredients from plant leaves, but the technical path varies greatly depending on the final product:
If the target is aromatic essential oils (such as eucalyptus leaves, cinnamon leaves, rosemary), steam distillation is often used.
plant leaf oil extraction machine target is plant base oil or active ingredient oil (such as olive oil, chia seed oil), cold press/hot press oil presses or solvent extraction equipment are commonly used.
For example, herbaceous plants such as St. John's wort, basil, and lemongrass are often distilled to extract volatile essential oils; Fruits or seeds with high oil content, such as olives and jatropha seeds, are suitable for mechanical pressing to extract oil.
Comparison of Technical Paths and Equipment Types
The working principle of steam distillation equipment (Essential Oil) is to use steam to bring out volatile aromatic molecules from plants, and then separate oil and water through condensation. The raw materials are suitable for aromatic plants such as eucalyptus leaves, cinnamon leaves, lavender, tea leaves, etc. The oil yield is relatively low (<5%) because the essential oil itself has a low content
The solvent extraction equipment (Industrial Scale) uses organic solvents (such as n-hexane, ethanol) to soak raw materials, dissolve and recover oils and fats, with a high residual oil rate of less than 1%
Equipment scale: laboratory type (10-100L) to industrial grade (500L+or above)
