CX-300 Essential Oil Distillation System, manufactured by T&T MACHINERY, is a specialized solution designed for extracting essential oils and hydrosol (floral water) from plant materials such as lemongrass, cinnamon, mint, cajeput, pomelo, rose, and many others.
Commonly known as an essential oil distiller, this system is engineered to efficiently separate volatile aromatic compounds and hydrosol from botanical ingredients using steam distillation technology.
A complete essential oil distillation system typically includes:
Extractor Vessel: The main chamber that holds the raw plant material and allows steam to pass through.
Heating Source: May use steam boiler, electric heater, or gas burner to generate steam.
Steam Pipe: Transfers the steam (carrying essential oils) to the condenser.
Condenser: Cools down the steam mixture and condenses it into liquid form.
Oil Separator: Separates essential oil from water based on density differences.
Hydrosol Tank: Collects the aromatic water (hydrosol) after separation.
The system operates based on the steam distillation principle, which involves the following steps:
Heating water in the extractor vessel to generate steam.
The steam passes through the plant material, vaporizing the essential oils.
The steam-oil mixture is directed through a condenser, where it is cooled and condensed into a liquid.
The resulting liquid is sent to an oil separator, where essential oil and hydrosol are separated due to their different densities.
CX-300 Essential Oil Distillation System, designed and manufactured by T&T MACHINERY, is a specialized solution for extracting essential oils and hydrosol (floral water) from a wide range of plant materials such as lemongrass, cinnamon, mint, cajeput, pomelo peel, rose petals, and more.
Utilizes the steam distillation method, which efficiently extracts almost all essential oil content from plant materials — even from hard-to-distill sources such as cinnamon bark, nutmeg seeds, or pomelo peel.
The distillation process operates under tightly controlled temperature and pressure, ensuring the resulting essential oils retain their natural aroma, pure color, and high therapeutic value. Ideal for applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals.
Equipped with a dedicated condenser and oil separator, the system enables clean and independent collection of both pure essential oil and fragrant hydrosol, serving diverse product applications.
The system is well-insulated and designed for optimal energy use (electricity, steam, or gas). Some models support hot water recycling from condensation for better energy efficiency.
All contact parts are made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and compliance with GMP and HACCP standards in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
The system can be integrated with temperature and pressure control, water level sensors, and automated alarms, making it user-friendly and reducing labor requirements.
Capable of processing leaves, stems, bark, seeds, flowers, etc., this system supports a wide range of Vietnamese botanicals like lemongrass, cinnamon, cajeput, citrus peel, mugwort, and more.
Available in capacities ranging from 20L (small scale) to 1000L+ (industrial scale), the system can be customized to suit household producers, cooperatives, or large-scale factories.
The steam distillation method produces no toxic emissions. Spent plant material and condensate water can be reused for organic compost or biomass fuel, minimizing waste.
Helps transform agricultural waste (leaves, bark, stems) into high-value essential oil products, supporting sustainable rural development and local industry.
