A world of possibilities awaits you<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Explorer<\/em> is certainly the most versatile small still on the market. It was initially developed for self-production of essential oils, hydrosols, and plant extracts, as well as for production testing, training, and research. <\/p>\n

It is the first unit in the range to feature an inline essencier allowing distillation with continuous cohobation. It can therefore be used for steam distillation or hydrodistillation of “heavy” or “light” essential oils, with or without cohobation. <\/p>\n

Since its development nearly 10 years ago, numerous options have been developed to make it as versatile as possible. Thus, depending on needs, it is now possible to configure an Explorer<\/em> to: distill with agitation, test turbodistillation, distill under vacuum, rectify solvents, produce neutral alcohol, produce (large-capacity soxhlet) or concentrate (vacuum evaporator) plant extracts… The unit’s capacity can also be doubled with an additional chamber (steam distillation only). It can be used with a gas burner or with an electric heating element. <\/p>\n

While its capabilities and available options are already extensive, please do not hesitate to contact us if you require a specific modification or the development of a custom option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Total volume<\/th>\n54 L; Plant volume: 40 L<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Capacity<\/th>\nbetween 8 and 15 kg of plant material<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Manufacturing<\/th>\nMade in Canada (QC) by qualified professionals with premium materials (304 stainless steel, 316 boiler bottom and condenser, between 16 and 11 gauge depending on still components)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Available options<\/th>\nMany options available: modified lid for distillation with agitation or turbo-distillation, vacuum distillation kit, boiler extension to double the still’s capacity, reflux column for neutral alcohol production or solvent rectification, insulation kit, copper columns and coils, electric heating system, etc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
