PIM Ltd. Haskovo design, manufacture and install technological equipment for essential oils production from oil-bearing plants such as rose, lavender, balm, chamomile, yarrow, St. John's wort, thyme, mint, etc.
The capacity, volume and type of the equipment vary largely and depend on the requirements of the client laid down in their technological project. There are various ways to extract essential oils from plants, but the most popular ones are distillation and extraction.

Distillation: the extraction of essential oils is done through water, water-steam and steam distillation.
The distillation technological equipment includes various capacities and volumes:
• Distillation apparatus
• Shell-and-tube cooler with various cooling surfaces
• Furnace glass
• Florence flask
• Distillate tank
• Cohobation column
• Cube residue (graft) tank
• Rose water tank
• Cold water tank
• Warm water tank
• Distillate mixing tank
• Rose marc draining machine
• Stainless steel pumps
• Stainless steel pipes and fittings - delivery and installation

Extraction: the essential oil extraction is done by means of volatile solvents (hexane, ethanol, etc.).
Technical hexane is the most commonly-used one:
• Extractor (raw material charge)
• Extractor cooler
• Reflux condenser
• Basket for raw materials
• Evaporator
• Evaporator cooler
• Vacuum evaporator
• Vacuum evaporator cooler
• Receiver
• Water separator
• Water separator (horizontal or vertical solvent tank)
• Аngular filter
• Horizontal or vertical solvent tank
• Explosion-proof pumps (ATEX)
• Stainless steel pipes and fittings - delivery and installation
