Essential Oil Drying Equipment

The humble chamomile flower holds a rich blend of compounds that soothe body and mind. A natural antidepressant and anti-inflammatory, chamomile oil found its way into the earliest pharmacopeia. As more of its properties were discovered, the oil became an elemental ingredient for a vast range of pharmaceutical and cosmetic recipes. Chamomile oil processing equipment developed at the same speed, offering manufacturers multiple production techniques to extract the liquid from the precious flower.

Koala bears diet exclusively on eucalyptus leaves. But the large concentration of cineole in the tree keeps most other predators at bay. Humans, though, discovered ways to extract the substance and use it as a remedy against inflammations and other diseases. The eucalyptus oil production process keeps evolving to maximize yields, ensuring enough eucalyptus forests for koalas.

Lavender oil is one of the most common essential oils in the market currently. Extracted from the herb Lavandula spp., this essential oil is used as a complementary medicine and as an additive. Studies have shown that lavender oil has sedative, carminative, anti-depressive, and anti-inflammatory properties. Like other essential oils, lavender oil extraction equipment must be capable of distillation, condensation, collection, and separation processes.

The ancient Greeks believed feeding sea buckthorn to their horses would give them a lustrous hide. Indeed, full of lipids and carotenoids, the fruit did contribute to glowing, reddish coats. However, the thorny plant also has benefits for humans. Sea buckthorn processing equipment extracts this unique vegetable oil full of fatty acids. The liquid is a prominent component in various food, cosmetic, and pharmacological preparations.

Tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is an essential oil with immune system stimulants produced mainly in Australia. The tea tree oil manufacturing process starts from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia. In terms of market value, the one for tea tree oil was valued at 38.8 million USD last 2017 and is projected to increase to 59.5 million USD by 2025.

Forged metal objects appear seamless, simple items. But as the use of metals changed over time and constructions became more intricate with additive manufacturing, a new way of processing materials surfaced. Metal powder manufacturing replaces the classic blacksmithing techniques, reducing scrap waste in the meantime. The final metal products, however, retain that shiny allure of the archetypal metal pieces.

Cosmetic serums are a very light formulation with a high density of active ingredients dispersed in oil, water, or gel. This makes serums well suited to the delivery of vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-aging ingredients, but provide less moisturization and protection. Serum production is mainly divided into stages related to optimal mixing and preventing degradation of the active ingredients.

Biopharmaceuticals are drugs in which the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials. They are usually produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Also known as biomanufacturing, they are used to either treat or diagnose and prevent a patient’s medical condition or disease. Biopharmaceuticals are typically complex macromolecules administered by injection or infusions, and examples include vaccines, serums, and insulin.

Cannabinoids are natural compounds obtained from the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is a psychotropic substance. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is non-psychotropic and often used for nutraceutical purposes. Cannabinoid equipment extracts THC and CBD from the plant and prepares the substance for formulations that treat pain, nausea, anxiety, and inflammations. Cannabinoids are processed in various forms, including creams, capsules, and oils.

Cannabinoids

Due to their potential hazardous nature, chemicals are classified for proper identification and safety during production. Chemical classification depends on their properties, structures and functions. In the chemical industry, you can regard them as basic chemicals such as acids, chemical products to produce plastic materials and finished chemicals for use in cosmetology. As a manufacturer or engineer, you want to know their reactivity when using chemical processing equipment.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Ancient civilizations discovered that plant extracts were useful for the treatment of pathologies. The origin of plant extraction cannot be specifically verified, but we can infer that the earliest attempts at plant extraction were more intuitive than scientific. Today, the extraction of compounds is a precise process with plant extraction systems complimenting traditional knowledge.

Industrial separation equipment encapsulates the separation process which is to separate components of a liquid mixture, for recovering dissolved solids from liquids. The choice of a suitable technology depends on the identification of the key physical or chemical property, such as size, mass, density, or boiling point, which sets the product of interest apart from the rest of the components. Separation technology is widely used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries for the isolation of active ingredients and high-purity chemicals. As well as in waste management and recycling industries.

<h3>Keep temperatures to a minimum in the hydrodistillation process</h3>
Hydrodistillation techniques employ hot water to isolate the essential oil from the aromatic plant. In the case of extraction by thermal decomposition, you heat a mixture of water and plant material allowing the oils to evaporate. However, since almost all constituents of essential oils are <a href="http://www.ajbasweb.com/old/ajbas/2016/November/117-127.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unstable at high temperatures</a>, heat levels need to be kept to a low.

The vapor is then liquefied in a condenser and collected in a tank. The immiscibility of water and oil forms a natural separation of the two liquids.  High extraction temperature can lead to thermal decomposition reactions of some plant constituents.

Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) applies heat to the plant’s cell wall through radiation. The technology hits the raw material with non-ionizing electromagnetic waves at <a href="http://www.ajbasweb.com/old/ajbas/2016/November/117-127.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frequencies</a> between 300 MHz to 300 GHz.

The cells swell up, causing the plant walls to rupture and the oils to leach out. Essential oil extraction systems using MAE may be either closed or open units. Closed systems reach a maximum power range between 600 W and 1000 W, while open systems operate at around 250 W.

Storing the essential oil in half-filled tanks exposes the material to oxidization and may trigger a change in its chemical profile.

At low temperatures, <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1319610318300164">oxidation is driven</a> by peroxyl radicals and hydroperoxides. On the other hand, as high temperatures reduce oxygen availability, the process is caused by alkyl or hydroxyl radicals.

<h3>The antimicrobial properties of essential oils can be formulated into pesticides.</h3>
Essential oils perform several pharmacological activities, such as antifungal and antimicrobial effects. The extracts are being used as protective additives in crop production. Their natural antioxidant properties can control fungi growth in cereals and other agricultural produce.

Biocides made from <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S259025981930007X" target="_blank" rel="noopener">essential oils</a> can be combined with conventional pesticides to extend the shelf lives of traditional fungicides.

Cheese is the most demanding food in the entire dairy family to emulate using non-animal and dairy free ingredients. The complex physical and taste profiles of animal-derived milk products make plant-based cheese manufacturing challenging to pull off. But the growing appetite for lactose-free and non dairy products is serving alternative platters of cheese.

Drying meat was the prevalent method of conserving meat cuts when food could not be chilled. But dried meat products developed into delicacies and remained a culinary mainstay long after the functional need for preservation was answered with refrigeration. The ancient techniques have been replaced by dried meat processing equipment, but the time-honored recipes remain unchanged.

Traditional extraction processes involving hot solvent (ethanol) or Co2 may produce varied results in the mass production of CBD oil. Moreover, the cannabidiol extraction process takes several days to complete, reducing the plant's output capacity. With a growing market for CBD products, companies need to produce high-quality materials consistently at a faster pace.
<h2>Save time with a continuous extraction system for CBD oil</h2>
Devex’s CryoEXS is a time-efficient solution to extract crude CBD oil from cannabis or hemp. It uses cold (-40 C) Ethanol as a solvent to extract useful substances. The equipment is available in 3 sizes depending on the capacity of dry cannabis biomass throughput.

The dried cannabis is fed into the extractor simultaneously with the cold ethanol. This method helps avoid the extra 24 hours of extraction process needed for the winterization step used in traditional methods to eliminate undesired elements from the extract such as fats, waxes, pigments, etc. Additional cannabinoid losses that can occur during the winterization step are also avoided.  Then the mass is recirculated to achieve a highly efficient extraction. The crude CBD oil is then ready for short part distillation. The ethanol used in the extraction process is then sent back to the tank for purification and reuse.

When processes call for homogenized emulsions with extremely fine particle sizes the traditional toothed ring dispensers are not always sufficient.  For extremely high levels of disintegration required to produce true micro-emulsions, extreme pressure cycling is more successfully used.
<h2>Homogenization with pressure shock to achieve extremely small particle sizes</h2>
The HPH High Pressure Homogenizer from IKA uses one or more piston pumps to apply pressure up to 2000 bar to the liquid medium to be homogenized.  The fluid is then fed through a homogenizing valve which very quickly reduces the pressure to the atmosphere.  This abrupt change in pressure in the moving fluid causes cavitation, a high degree of turbulent flow, and internal shearing forces in the fluid all of which serve to break up and distribute larger particles forming a very fine emulsion.  The pressure applied on the uphill side of the homogenizing valve is infinitely adjustable as is the flow rate through the valve, so the process can be easily adapted to achieve a wide range of outcomes and to accommodate fluids with different flow characteristics.  All parts that contact the product flow are stainless steel and autoclavable and the entire unit is designed for robustness and long service life.
