Rose flowers are delicate and must be processed on the day they are picked. Rotary extractors turn the petals gently in the solvent, so the extraction is fast and even. The photos below come from rose processing plants that use Dünder Makine rotary extractors to produce rose concrete.
Rotary extractors at work
The rotating drum keeps every petal in contact with the solvent. After the cycle, the solution goes to the evaporator and the drum is emptied for the next batch.
From drum to concrete
Vacuum evaporators next to the drums remove the solvent at a low temperature. What remains is rose concrete, the starting material for rose absolute.
