Clove (Leaves) Oil Distillation Plant

A Clove leaves oil distillation plant is a specialized facility designed to extract essential oil from the leaves of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum). Clove leaf oil is valued for its strong, warm, spicy aroma and powerful antiseptic, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties. It is widely used in dental care products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, flavoring, and aromatherapy.

The extraction process primarily involves steam distillation. Fresh clove leaves are loaded into stainless steel distillation chambers where steam passes through the leaves, vaporizing the volatile aromatic compounds. The steam and oil vapors are then condensed, and the essential oil separates from the hydrosol in a Florentine separator. The collected oil is filtered and stored in airtight, dark containers to preserve its quality and fragrance.

Modern clove leaf oil distillation plants are equipped with efficient boilers, corrosion-resistant distillation units, condensers, and automated control systems to optimize oil yield and maintain product purity. The essential oil is rich in eugenol, which is responsible for its characteristic aroma and therapeutic effects. The plant operates under strict hygiene and quality standards, producing high-purity oil suitable for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
