Essential oil extraction from citrus fruit peel
In industries focusing on the utilization of essential oils, the need to efficiently extract oils from fresh citrus fruit peel is paramount. Current extraction techniques may not adequately optimize yield or maintain the quality of the essential oils, thereby necessitating more advanced methods.
Extract oils from citrus fruit peel effectively
The Zumex ET6 Essential Oil Extractor is designed to obtain essential oils from whole and fresh citrus fruit peel through a scraping process facilitated by an abrasive roller system. The extraction is initiated by water which carries the essential oil during the first phase. The system utilizes ten perforated rollers with adjustable speed, enabling precise control of the extraction process. The oil-water emulsion is collected through an easily removable hopper that facilitates simple cleaning and maintenance. The machine is also equipped with inspection windows and side access doors with safety detectors, ensuring safe and convenient operation. Additionally, it features a centralized greasing system and an electric control panel made from AISI 304 stainless steel with IP65 protection, further enhancing its reliability and ease of use. Zumex Food Engineering provides this sophisticated equipment for industries requiring efficient production of essential oils from citrus fruit peels.
