Ledum / Labrador Tea / Greenland Moss (Leaves) Oil Distillation Plant

Ledum, Labrador Tea & Greenland Moss Leaves Oil Distillation Plant

A Ledum, Labrador Tea, and Greenland Moss leaves oil distillation plant is a specialized facility designed to extract essential oils and bioactive compounds from the leaves of Ledum palustre (Ledum), Rhododendron groenlandicum (Labrador Tea), and Cladonia rangiferina (Greenland Moss). These plants are known for their medicinal properties and are traditionally used in herbal remedies, skincare, and natural health products.

The extraction process mainly involves steam distillation, where fresh or dried leaves and moss are loaded into stainless steel distillation chambers. Steam passes through the biomass, vaporizing the volatile aromatic and therapeutic compounds. These vapors are then condensed and separated to collect the pure essential oils and extracts.

Modern distillation plants are equipped with efficient boilers, corrosion-resistant distillation units, condensers, and oil separators, alongside precise controls for temperature and pressure to maximize yield and preserve the integrity of the extracts. The oils and extracts obtained contain various compounds like ledol, flavonoids, and lichen acids, which contribute to their distinctive aroma and therapeutic benefits.

The facility operates under strict quality control and hygiene standards, ensuring the production of high-quality essential oils and extracts used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, aromatherapy, and traditional medicine preparations.
