Copper Florentine Separator (Essencier)
Separate Essential Oils and Hydrosols with Ease
A Florentine Separator, also known as an Essencier, is one of the most useful pieces of equipment for anyone serious about essential oil and hydrosol production.
During the distillation process, essential oils and hydrosols leave the condenser together. In a traditional setup, the distillate must be collected and left to settle before the oils can be separated from the hydrosol. This can be time consuming and often requires multiple handling steps.
The Florentine Separator simplifies this process by separating the essential oils and hydrosols as they are produced. Using a clever yet simple internal design, the two liquids naturally separate according to their density, allowing for continuous collection during distillation.
How It Works
The separator features two outlets:
• A side spout for the hydrosol
• A central copper tube for the essential oil
By adjusting the liquid level within the separator, the distiller can easily collect the hydrosol while allowing the essential oil to accumulate and be collected separately.
Ideal For
• Essential oil distillation
• Hydrosol production
• Aromatherapy businesses
• Herbalists and herb growers
• Educational and workshop settings
• Medium-scale and commercial distillation
Why Use a Florentine Separator?
• Saves time during distillation
• Allows continuous separation of oils and hydrosols
• Reduces handling and transferring of distillate
• Improves workflow and efficiency
• Makes essential oil collection easier and more accurate
