ABSTRACT:
An essential oil reclaim method for use with a corresponding apparatus, comprising the following steps: the apparatus grabs the tree parts, the tree tops or the tree limbs, and shakes them with rotating drums provided with chains (under whiplash effect); the needles are segregated through a vibrating sieve; the needles are compressed for a first essential oil extraction under mechanical compression; the needles are then pushed into a sealed chamber comprising an endless screw which upwardly conveys the needles; steam is sprayed on the needles, so as to thermally extract essential oils from condensate; the needle residues, or “muka”, escapes from the top end of the thermal chamber. This essential oil reclaim apparatus also relates to the invention.
