Flip-top Column Alembics The flip-flop column model employs a steam distillation technique to distil alcohol or extract essential oils and hydrolats from organics. The batch is placed in the column and the copper pot only functions as a water vapour generator. The perforated copper tray mounted in the interior of the column makes this still appropriate for steam distillation. This model is especially indicated for the distillation of temperature sensitive compounds that would normally decompose through simple distillation methods. Organics are subjected to steam in the vapour chamber or column of the still. This allows the separation of essential oils, which tend to be less soluble in boiling water, from chemically complex materials. When the steam passes through the organic material tiny pockets that hold the essential oils open to release the essential oil molecules without damaging or burning these delicate components. The column may be flipped to its side to discard the spent batch and reloaded with a fresh batch to continue the distillation process in a matter of minutes. A second rectifying distillation may be carried out with the same unit. For this purpose, the first results are placed in the copper pot, the column is flipped to its side and the swan neck lid is attached directly on the pot to proceed with the rectifying or refining distillation. TREATMENT: A first cleaning distillation is essential to clean impurities and other unwanted substances. These substances, which are inherent to copper, are deposited after the still has not been in use for a relatively long period of time. Detailed information will be available to client after purchase is made.
This Rotating Distilling Column Alembic Still includes a copper pot with soldered draining pipe and brass stopper, a rotating column attached to pot with metal axle, a swan neck lid, an extension pipe and a condensing recipient. This model comes with a detachable brass locking system on the swan neck lid to facilitate storage when not in use. The extension pipe is provided to compensate for the increased height of the rotating column. This should be connected between the swan neck piping and the condensing recipient.
