Steam Distillation
Most people wishing to buy their new steam distillation equipment often consult engineers or manufactures of steel tanks
or boiler makers and steam supply companies. Surely it would be wiser to purchase essential oil extraction equipment from a company like
BioAfrica with years of experience and grow their own essential oils in large volumes.
Many herbs and plants contain heavy concrete essential oils that are best extracted using Solvent Extraction rather than
Steam Extraction. This requires a different type of extraction equipment. Fortunately BioAfrica have the solution for this with our BioSol Range.
The BioSol is specifically designed to distill for all types of heavy concrete essential oils, like calendula, sage, cannabis and rose oils.
Short path distillation is widely used in Pharmaceutical industry, laboratory fractional distillation, purification and refinement of essential oils and CBD oils extraction.
It is mainly used for enrichment, crystallization, drying, separation, drug, solvent recycling, bio-pharmaceutical industry. Under vacuum conditions, it is heated at a constant speed to form a large-area
thin film on the cylinder wall to increase the evaporation efficiency. Our home use BioSol CBD unit uses this technique for the purest commercially viable heavy concrete oil extraction.
While BioAfrica builds units to last, accidents can happen. If you do happen to drive your tractor
into your BioStill we can repair or replace any broken parts. BioAfrica often have reconditioned and second hand units which
we don't display on this site so please get in touch for our current list. If you're thinking of upgrading your BioStill to
a larger unit we can consider a trade in depending on the condition of your current unit.

to cope with Africa's challenging conditions. Whether it is a large model for the farm or a compact unit for the home BioAfrica's attention to detail and standards
