Guest guest Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm looking for an essential oil separator to add to my still. I've seen them for sale with stills, but not alone. Anyone know where I can get one? http://www.sagescript.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 couldn't get a post to work Try calling Jeff Brittle at _www.floragenics.com_ (http://www.floragenics.com) They make a beautiful glass Florentine flask separator...so beautiful to see the oil accumulating. It came with my 50 gallon still, but he may be willing to sell them separately.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Do you use that separator Sandy? Does it work well? I always wonder how much turbulence goes on which would of course mix the oil with the water somewhat. Does all the distillate flow through the flask? Also, do you use that 50 gall still and how do you like it? I'm looking for something 25-35 gall but I may be able to use a 50 gall next season. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 The separator came with a glass funnel which collects the distillate right at the bottom of the condenser so there is no splashing. The funnel sends the distillate down through the hydrosol. The tip of the funnel turns up to allow the bubble of oil to float serenely to the surface and collect at the top of the Florentine flask. When I first began distilling I didn't yet know about turbulence and wondered why the funnel was necessary. Here's a photo of the unit up close: and the whole unit from Floragenics Warm fragrant regards, Sandy Messori Rivendell Aromatics, Ojai California _www.rivendellaromatics.com_ (http://www.rivendellaromatics.com/) 805 649-2476 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
