500L Worker Efficiency Upgrades

There have been some efficiency updates to the 500L Worker in terms of:

• Florentine vase: revised and more efficient
• Condensation system: revised and more efficient

Here are some more details on the technical modifications / enhancements:

FLORENTINE VASE:

The old model faced some challenges in the distillation/separation of essential oils with a density very near to water, especially rose petal essential oil.

A specific study was made on this with internal technicians and external support from an expert consultant on essential oil distillation.

The new shape changes the inlet of the condensed mix of water and essential oil which now flows in from the bottom of the florentine vase and the profile of the vessel changes from cylindrical into conical.

The entry of condensed fluids from below and not from above, as it was in the old model, together with the conical profile, helps to break and slow down the mixing flows and speeds up / improves the separation of essential oil from aromatic water.

This model ensures best efficiency in separation for all kinds of essential oil.

This enhancement has been applied, tested on the field and approved.

Furthermore, a cylindrical glass septum has been added on the top / collar of the Florentine to optimise the essential oil that accumulates during distillation in order to better adjust the oil output / tapping levels, to better regulate the return of aromatic water in the boiler (where needed) and to better evaluate the progress of the distillation.

CONDENSATION SYSTEM:

The position of the condenser has been changed from vertical to horizontal with 3 degrees of slope.

This was adapted based on the configuration of our larger machines (FARMER – MASTER) and has been verified with our chemical / process engineer consultant to increase heat exchange and optimise the condenser cooling water consumption. This setup has proven to be more efficient in dozens of installations.
