Quantity to be distilled in kgs per day?

Take into account the time of picking / harvesting, handling, transport and the time of distillation of the plant
- In general, a still tank of 1000 liters accommodates 130 to 200 kgs of fresh plants
- A 100 liter still accommodates 12 to 20 kgs of fresh plants

What distillation method do you want to use?

Vapo-distillation = steam entrainment: plants placed on a perforated stainless steel grid, introduction of gentle steam under the grid - The best quality (AFNOR standard) and yield
hydro distillation = water distillation - Plants are immersed in water, still tank directly on the fire (To reserve with rose, orange blossom)
Vapo-hydrodistillation intermediate method: plants separated by perforated stainless steel grid, water boiling below, still tank placed on the fire
YOU CAN CHECK SEVERAL METHODS IF YOU DESIRE AN ALAMBIC DISTILLER THAT ALLOWS THE 3 METHODS

CAPACITY of the still (in liters)

Pay attention to the density: Examples:
For a quality distillation, a still tank of 1000 liters can accommodate a maximum of 200 kgs of fresh plants
Example: 100 liter still = 20 kgs of plants = 20 liters of hydrosols per pass
- HE if the yield is 0.1% then you will get 20 gr of HE, i.e. about 20 ml of HE per pass of 10 kgs of plants:

What heating energy?

Do you want a lifting system to extract the plants from the tank?

Do you want a separator to separate essential oils and hydrosols?

Do you want useful accessories for distillation?
