Essential Oil Copper Extractor Distillation Unit

Essential Oil / Diamond Shape Copper Stills are purpose-built distillation systems designed for essential oil extraction, botanical distillation, and traditional grappa-style runs. These models are built around one defining feature: a solid copper bottom.

The solid-bottom construction allows plant material to sit directly in the pot, making these units exceptionally well suited for demanding distillation processes that involve thick, particulate-heavy, or crushed materials.

Solid Copper Bottom — Built for Direct Heat

Most essential oil and botanical distillation methods require direct contact between the charge and the bottom of the vessel. A solid copper bottom delivers consistent heat transfer, long-term durability, and eliminates common leak points found in multi-piece or thin-bottom designs.

This construction ensures:

• No leaks at the base
• Stable thermal mass for longer runs
• Confidence when using direct heat sources

Ideal Applications

• Essential oil distillation
• Hydrosols and aromatic waters
• Pomace-based distillation, including traditional grappa
• Thick or particulate-heavy charges
• Botanical distillation requiring durable, forgiving construction

Diamond Shape — Functional, Not Decorative

The diamond-shaped body is not just aesthetic. Its geometry promotes efficient vapor rise and reflects the traditional alembic-style copper stills historically produced overseas.

Combined with a solid bottom, the diamond shape creates a system that is stable, forgiving, and highly versatile, especially when working with variable or difficult materials.

Who These Units Are For

• Customers focused on essential oil or botanical distillation
• Operators who require a solid-bottom still for direct heat
• Users working with crushed grapes, pomace, or dense botanicals
• Those who value durability, thermal stability, and flexibility
• Distillers who want the ability to process a wide range of materials

What to Expect

• Built from American-made copper
• Constructed with a solid copper bottom
• Designed specifically for direct heat operation
• Formed using our metal spinning machine
• Minor cosmetic variation is normal with hand-built copper equipment

If you are looking for a solid-bottom copper still that excels at essential oils, handles direct heat confidently, and offers real versatility — including traditional grappa-style distillation — this is one of the most capable designs we build.
