What is Distillation and How Does it Work?
What is Distillation and How Does it Work? Distillation is the art of removing these precious chemicals via high pressure steam or mix of steam and boiling water. To begin distillation, the appropriate amount of plant material is packed into a hopper. The canister is sealed to create atmospheric pressure. The correct amount of water is added for that batch and then heated. Steam is created by either boiling the water in the hopper or injecting steam and forced through the pressurized hopper or vessel containing the plants. The heat of the steam ruptures the molecules in the plant and carries the particles of essential oil and other constituents through a cooling system into another container. When the steam passes through the cooling unit, it reverts back to water, where it separates from the essential oil because of their different densities. Essential oils are lighter than water and will therefore float on top. Water soluble chemicals will stay mixed with water creating extracts or hydrosols. Following is a brief description of three basic methods. Water Distillation For this method, the plant material is submerged in water. The water is then heated to boiling point During this process, there is direct contact between boiling water and plant material. All parts of the plant material must be kept moving by the motion of boiling water. This method is used with plant material that can’t be easily be broken down with steam or water and steam distillation such as cinnamon bark. Water and Steam Distillation Water and steam distillation methods employ the same basic equipment as water distillers. The fundamental difference is the plant material is set on a perforated grill above the water as opposed to being immersed in the water. This method is more energy efficient as the essential oil is produced at a much faster rate with higher yields. Thermal degradation is reduced as well. Many oils which contain significant aldehydes such as lemongrass are still produced this way. Direct Steam Distillation This type of distiller is designed quite differently than water and water steam distillers. There is no water in the hopper with the plant material. Steam is generated in a separate boiler chamber and then injected into the plant material from outside the still. The plant material is placed on a perforated grid above the steam inlet. A real advantage of steam generation is that the amount of steam can be readily controlled. Because steam is generated in a satellite boiler, the plant material can be heated at lower temperatures of 90- 100° C reducing thermal degradation. A drawback to steam distillation is the much higher capital expenditure on such equipment. Many mass produced essential oils such as rosemary, lavender and eucalyptus, are produced this way Do All Plants Produce Essential Oils? No they don’t. In fact of the hundreds of thousands of plant species, only a few thousand may be capable of producing an essential oil. Therefore, when companies state that essential oils are the “life blood of a plant” this is not true. Can Any Plant be Distilled? Theoretically, you can distill any plant material, however, you may not like the results. Distillation is reserved for plants which are capable of producing an essential oil and not easily damaged by heat. Jasmine is one of the most coveted aromatic oils in the world but it can’t be distilled without serious thermal degradation which destroys the aromatic properties that make it so precious. Given that it takes thousands of pounds of petals harvested during a few weeks of the year and a few hours of those days to produce even a few ounces of oil through other effective methods of extraction, it make no economical sense to waste any petals on distillation to produce an inferior product. Are Plants Which Do Not Produce Essential Oil Distilled? Some plants such as witch hazel or sweetgrass which don’t produce an essential oil are distilled because their water is coveted for aromatic, spiritual and medicinal properties. Others can be concentrated to create water soluble extracts such as cucumber or green tea. Are all Plants Distilled in the Same Amount of Time? The amount of time for distillation per batch of plant material has a vast range dependent on the quality of oil required and the plant material itself. This is where expertise of specific plants is necessary to produce a quality oil or one to specific industry standards. For example, lavender can be distilled in one to two hours depending on batch size, whereas clove or cinnamon take much longer. Different distillation times of a particular plant will create different grades. Ylang Ylang, a prized aromatic oil, has several grades (extra, 1 , 2, 3 and dark). The grades are indicative of distillation time with “extra” and 1 being the shortest time, which produces the lowest yield, best aromatic properties and highest price. The perfume industry purchases most of these grades leaving very little for public consumption. Grade 3 and dark, produce more oil because of longer distillation time, but is not considered fragrantly appealing so the price is dramatically reduced. These grades are usually destined for industrial purpose. There is also no such thing as 2nd or 3rd distillation. A batch of plant material is distilled once and then discarded. Most often the plant material is spread back in the fields to provide nutrients and act as ground cover to reduce weeds. Can an Essential Oil or Liquid Plant Extract be Distilled? Yes it can. This is most often done to further process an oil to remove impurities or reduce high amounts of hazardous chemicals. Peppermint which may contain 50-80% menthol on initial distillation can be re distilled to reduce levels under 40% content, making the oil more aromatic and safer to use. The menthol crystals that are removed are usually sold to pharmaceutical companies. Bitter orange which is initially expeller pressed, is then distilled to remove water and other impurities. many citrus oils are extracted via cold
Production of Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
Production of Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesives Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (HMPSAs) are composed of Styrenic Block Copolymers (SBC), tackifier, mineral oil, a small amount of antioxidant, and other special additives – such as filler, colorant, and low molecular weight polymer if needed. Most of these ingredients are thermoplastic materials and require a heated environment to mix them together. Many different types of mixers are available for mixing HMPSAs. Following are two commonly used techniques. Vertical Reactor mixer. Use of Vertical Reactor is the most economic technique for making HMPSAs. Low molecular weight ingredients, oil and/or tackifiers, must be charged first for this type of mixer. Otherwise, the high torque generated from SBC may damage agitators. Commonly used charging sequence is as follows: 1) mineral oil and antioxidant, 2) tackifiers, and 3) SBC. A good vertical mixer should provide the following features: 1) excellent jacketed hot oil circulation to provide quick heat exchange, 2) adequate agitating configuration to reduce mixing time, 3) scrappers to remove adhesives off the wall and bottom of mixing vessel. This will improve heat exchange and minimize char formation, 4) vacuuming system to avoid oxidation during mixing. Horizontal Sigma mixer (Sigma blade mixer or Kneader). This type of mixer is normally accompanied with an extruder for easy adhesive discharging purpose, named mix-truder. The mixing sequence of a horizontal mixer is just opposite to that of a vertical one. Generally, the sequence is as follow: 1) SBC plus antioxidant, 2) tackifiers, and 3) mineral oil. It is more efficient to produce a batch of HMPSA with a horizontal mixer versus a vertical one due to its faster heat exchange and higher shearing torque. Additionally, a horizontal mixer can handle more viscous materials with its heavy duty rotor. It is important to point out that tackifiers must be added slowly, portion by portion, after the SBC is fully masticated. Otherwise, the molten tackifier will function like a lubricant to the SBC. This will greatly reduce the shearing efficiency of rotor and result in a poor mixing. Since, the mixing sequence starts with SBC, if the mixing chamber is not under a vacuum environment, the SBC tends to oxidize with surrounded air or oxygen disregarding the addition of antioxidant. In summary, the vertical mixers offer the following two advantages: The system is much easier to pull vacuum during mixing. HMPSAs made by this technique normally offer better aging performances compared to those made with a horizontal mixer. The material charging sequence is more flexible. There is no need for a skillful labor working on a vertical mixer. The disadvantages of vertical mixers are: It is somewhat difficult to produce very high viscosity products due to its lower shearing torque. The heat exchange is somewhat slow. The total mixing time is therefore longer than those made with horizontal mixers. hotmelt adhesive Chemical reaction vessel, Reaction kettle We also have specialization in below items: Chemical Equipments: Sigma Kneader, Reaction Vessel, Horizontal Ribbon Blender, High Speed Paint Disperser, Three Roller Grinding Mill ,Stainless steel Colloid Grinder, Complete Unsaturated Polyester Resin Production Line
What is a Ribbon Blender?
What is a Ribbon Blender? A ribbon blender gets its name because the blades are angled in different ways from a central shaft so that it looks like ribbons of metal. The varied direction of the blades allows the blender to move parts of a mixture in different directions at the same time. The mixer often has a closed container, often in the shape of a trough. The shaft and blades are located inside the container. A ribbon blender can be either horizontal or vertical. Uses for a Ribbon Blender Ribbon blenders are often used for food and medicine manufacturing as those industries often must mix substances with a lot of particles. Because it is critical that the particles be mixed evenly, a ribbon blender provides the best opportunity to achieve that result. Ribbon blenders are also used in heavy industry. Types of Ribbon Blenders There are different types of ribbon blenders available. A ribbon blender with a u-shaped shell is the most traditional version. These have a full, open top with a flanges, filtered cover. Cylindrical shell ribbon blenders are used where vacuum, pressure or heating and cooling is required. Access is limited to small doors on top or on the sides of the blender. Semi-cylindrical shells are often used for cooking and cooling application where high levels of heat transfer are required. A double ribbon blender provides a more thorough mixing as it has an inner and outer ribbon that provides counter-directional flow so that the product remains in constant motion. A paddle-ribbon combination blender has inner ribbons with an outer paddle that works well with fragile, heat-sensitive materials. A ribbon blender is the perfect choice for manufacturers that need rapid blending of materials. With a variety of styles to choose from, manufacturers are able to select the one that works best for their needs. Why do You Need a Ribbon Blender and Mixer? Well, if you are into blending business, then definitely you need to acquire this machine as opposed to other machines. Efficient and top quality ribbon blenders have securely controlled clearances between surfaces and agitator tips. In addition to that, they are quick, effective and capable of systematic mixing of powders. Below are special features of Ribbon blender and mixer that no other mixer boasts of. I. Varying Applications and Very Few Crushes Unlike other machines, the ribbon mixer has a double ribbon agitator that makes the machine multipurpose and suitable for mixing: Powder- powder Powder- liquid, Paste and highly viscous material such as putty etc. The radial speed of the ribbon is also flexible to ensure little or no material destructiveness. Other than that, this blender doesn’t easily break down, unlike others. II. It Possesses a Triple Ace Mixing Capability This triple action is the key to unlocking the high speed and efficient blending ability. The double helical agitators of the machine rotate thereby tumbling on the material inside the blender. As a result, the pitch of the exterior ribbon transfers the material towards the discharge door. However, the interior ribbon which possesses an opposing pitch moves the material further from the discharge door. III. Superior Loading Rate and Enhanced Sealing The mixing cylinders are inclined at an angle ranging from 180˚ – 300˚ and it comes with the largest loading capacity of about 70%. Apart from that, a variety of sealing methods are incorporated for you to choose from and select a suitable one for your product. For superfine powder product, pneumatic together with packing seal is used while for materials with relatively good fluidity mechanical seals are used. IV. Produces a Super Uniformity and Homogeneous Blend and Mixture Unlike other blenders, the Ribbon mixer has got a double ribbon agitator. They move in a counter current motion displacing the materials from one end through the center to the other opposite end of the mixer. Thus resulting in the production of a homogeneous mixture. V. It Avails Thorough, Gentle and Super Blends within a Very Short Time The ribbons of the machine, rotate at a super fast speed approximately, 70 – 100 meters per minute In the process, they move the material both radially and laterally within short cycle duration. Usually, it takes just about 15 – 20 minutes for complete blending. VI. Available in Different Working Capacities These machines come in different sizes and capacities ranging from 5litres to 25000 liters blenders. Remember, the minimum working capacity for ribbon blender is approximately 30 – 40% of the overall capacity. VII. Suitable for Use in a Limited Overhead Space Is your working space limited? Do you have a limited overhead space? If so. Then it is time to upgrade. This is a user-friendly machine and can fully fit in a limited overhead space. Applications of Ribbon Bin Blenders This blender is trusted by many due to its ability to mix powders. Section of Ribbon Mixer Below are the main applications of the ribbon blender and mixer: Blending of a largenumber of dry solids. Drying of powdered materials suitable for wet phase mixing. Mixing of drugs, cosmetics, and various chemicals. Dry blending of capsule ingredients. Lubrications of dry granules and pellets in large quantity. Coating of solid particles with liquids to produce a suitable formulation. In Pharmacology, ribbon blenders are used in the manufacturing of polymer blends, pharmaceutical powders, and composite fillers. In Food and beverage processing industries, ribbon blenders are used to produce infant food, flavorings, seasonings, dried food products, breakfast cereals, cake mixes, dietary supplements, instant drink blends etc. Some other industrial materials usually blended in the Ribbon mixer include the following: Animal Feeds Pet feeds Bird seeds Cosmetics Abrasives Pesticides and herbicides Plastic powders Laundry detergents Fertilizers Plastic powders Fire retardants Gypsum Cleaning compounds Apart from that, did you know that these mixers are multipurpose?
