New Multifunctional Extraction Tank - Extract Lemon Essential Oil from Lemon Peel

Lemon essential oil is a kind of natural essential oil obtained from lemon peel, which has the characteristics of freshness, aroma and mildness, and smells very good, very similar to the taste of fresh lemon. The fresh aroma of lemon essential oil can refresh and invigorate the mind, relieve irritability, purify the air, and is widely used in aromatherapy, health care, food and other fields.

There are two common extraction methods for lemon essential oil:
1. Water vapor distillation
Water vapor distillation is a common method for extracting essential oils from plants, distillation equipment with a large volume, and simple operation, low cost. This method is suitable for volatile, can be vaporized with water vapor without being destroyed, and water does not react, and difficult to dissolve in water for the extraction of active ingredients.
Will be fresh or dry treatment of aromatic plant materials into the distiller, add water to heat together, under the action of steam, the essential oils in the plant components and water vapor evaporation, containing essential oils of the water vapor collected by the conduit after cooling the steam will be cooled into a liquid, and then in accordance with the difference in the density of the water and the essential oils are separated out. Using the essential oil components volatile, insoluble in water and do not react with water characteristics, condensation collection, and finally get the essential oil.
The distillation process requires attention to control the temperature and time to ensure that only the pure aroma of lemon extracted components.
2. Solvent extraction method
Organic solvent extraction method is the use of volatile organic solvents, continuous reflux extraction or cold immersion, hot immersion extraction of plant components will be dissolved, and then through the distillation of the extract or decompression distillation to remove the solvent can be obtained crude essential oil. The solvent extraction method is used to extract natural flavors from plant materials, and the yield of flavors obtained by this method is significantly increased.
Generally, the solvent and plant material into the extractor mixed extraction, so that the volatile substances dissolved in the solvent; and then filtered; subsequently, evaporation and concentration of the solvent to get the filtrate, the concentrate is called extract (wax, a mixture of essential oils); the extract is dissolved in ethanol, low-temperature filtration to remove impurities; and finally, evaporation of ethanol to get the essential oil.

The following is a detailed description of the preparation process of lemon essential oil.
1. Pick ripe lemons: Pick the lemons when they are ripe, peel off the lemon skin, remove the pulp and the white part of the lemon.
2. Cutting and crushing the lemon peel: Cut the lemon peel into small pieces or thin strips, put it into a pulverizer or blender, add a small amount of water, and grind the lemon peel into a puree.
3. Distillation extraction: put the lemon peel puree into the distiller, add appropriate amount of water, distillation extraction. The extracted liquid contains lemon essential oil.
4. Separation and extraction: put the extracted liquid into the separating funnel, add the appropriate amount of alcohol, the lemon essential oil and water to leave.
5. Refining lemon essential oil: put the separated lemon essential oil into a distiller, heat it to the appropriate temperature, remove the impurities and water in it, and get the pure lemon essential oil.

In the process of preparing lemon essential oil, you need to use high-quality lemon and other raw materials, master certain preparation skills and operating methods, at the same time, high quality and professional essential oil extraction equipment is also essential.

Wenzhou Jinbang Light Industry Machinery Co., Ltd. of the new multi-function stainless steel extraction tank: a variety of styles and specifications, according to customer needs tailored solutions, factory direct sales, low-temperature automatic extraction, high efficiency and high quality, professional manufacturers, 30 years of experience in research and development, and has won the praise of customers.

Product Overview:
The extraction tank is filled with solvent, soaked and then heated by jacketed steam. Tank liquid boiling, according to the boiling point of each solvent is different, the beginning, the low-boiling component first boil into a secondary vapor through condensation, cooling to the oil-water separation, can be determined according to the process whether to reflux or discharge. The oil-water separator utilizes the different densities of oil and water to stratify the upper and lower layers, so as to obtain the volatile oil. In addition, due to the heating process, there is a concentration difference between the upper, middle and lower part of the liquid in the main tank, so that the liquid can be recycled from the bottom of the main tank through the filter and the pump back to the upper part of the main tank, realizing dynamic extraction.

This equipment is suitable for pharmaceutical, biological, beverage, food, chemical and other industries, plants, animals, atmospheric pressure, pressurization, decoction, warm immersion, thermal reflux, forced circulation, percolation, aromatic oil extraction and organic solvent recovery and other process operations, especially the use of dynamic extraction or multi-canister countercurrent extraction better, shorter time, high content of the liquid. Equipped with tanks equipped with CIP cleaning automatic rotary spraying ball, temperature gauge, pressure gauge, explosion-proof sight hole lamps, sight glass, quick-open feeding port, etc., to ensure easy operation, in line with GMP standards.
