CLEVENGER APPARATUS

What is it?

The Clevenger Apparatus is a specialized laboratory assembly used to extract essential oils from plants, herbs, and spices. It works by boiling the plant material with water to create steam, which carries the oils into a cooling chamber. The apparatus then automatically separates the oil from the water, allowing you to collect pure essential oils easily.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dual Separation Options: We manufacture versions for both oils "Lighter than Water" and oils "Heavier than Water," ensuring you have the right tool for any plant material.
• Premium Borosilicate Glass: Made from high-quality Borosilicate 3.3 glass that can handle the high heat of boiling without cracking or reacting with the oils.
• Precision-Ground Joints: Features standard taper joints (like 24/29) that fit together perfectly to prevent steam from leaking out during extraction.
• Accurate Measurement: The oil collection tube is clearly graduated, allowing you to see exactly how much essential oil you have collected at a glance.
• Smooth Water Return: Designed with a return tube that automatically sends the water back into the boiling flask, saving time and energy.

Available Options

Our Clevenger sets are available in several sizes to fit your laboratory needs, including 500mL, 1000mL, and 2000mL boiling flask capacities. You can also choose between sets for oils that float or oils that sink.

Quality Commitment: Every Clevenger Apparatus is carefully inspected for accurate graduations and stress-tested to ensure it performs safely under continuous boiling conditions.
