Our top copper stills for essential oil distillation

From ancient times to the present, copper pots have been widely used in our daily lives, such as copper pot distillation. Copper pot distillation technology is a very ancient distillation and extraction technology. It can not only be used by wineries to distill and extract high-alcohol wine, but also can be used to distill and extract essential oils and hydrosols from aromatic plants. Some friends may find it strange that essential oils and hydrosols can be distilled and extracted using ordinary glass containers! Why choose a copper pot to distill and extract hydrosol? Compared with containers made of other materials, do copper pots have any special advantages in distillation and extraction?

Benefits of Copper Pot Distillation Hydrosols

First, let’s take a look at what kind of material copper is. Pure copper is a soft metal. When cut, the surface appears reddish-orange with a metallic luster. Copper alone is purple-red. Copper has good ductility and good thermal and electrical conductivity. It is precisely because In this way, copper has become the most commonly used material in the manufacture of parts such as cables and electrical and electronic components. It is also used as a building material and can be formed into a wide variety of alloys. Copper alloys have excellent mechanical properties and low resistivity, the most important of which are bronze and brass. Copper is also a durable metal and can be recycled many times without damaging its mechanical properties. In addition, copper is one of the earliest metals used by humans. As early as ancient times, people began to mine open-pit copper mines and use the obtained copper to make weapons, tools and other utensils, including copper pots, sacrificial tripods, etc.

Why use ancient copper pot distillation to distill and extract hydrosol?

Why choose a copper pot? This is because pure copper is a soft, tough, ductile, purple-red shiny metal. It heats evenly, maintains temperature for a long time, has a density much higher than that of stainless steel, and its heat conduction is 10 times that of a stainless steel pot. Its penetrating and aroma-enhancing functions are strong, and it can extract all the essence of aromatic plants more completely. More importantly, copper pot distillation can play an antiseptic role and help store hydrosols. It can be stored for more than 2 years under the conditions of sealing, normal temperature, avoiding light, and one-time filling in the factory.
