A Rosa damascena processing plant must integrate every stage required to produce rose oil, rose concrete and rose absolute. Fresh flower reception, distillation, extraction, filtration, solvent recovery and storage must operate as one coordinated system. The facility delivered by Dünder Machinery in Bulgaria demonstrates this approach. It combines copper and stainless steel equipment, piping, platforms […]

A single stainless steel unit can be configured to run both solvent extraction and steam distillation, switching between processes through the valve and line arrangement. Here is how it works, where it makes sense, and where a dedicated line is the better investment.

An anchor agitator sweeps the full tank wall at low speed, making it the right choice for viscous products and heated vessels. Here is how the design works, how it compares with turbine and propeller agitators, and how to specify one.

Precision measurement is one of the most important stages in the manufacturing and installation of industrial process equipment. Before a tank, extraction unit, distillation system, or process line becomes operational, its level, position, and connection points must be carefully checked. In this project, our craftsman is using a spirit level to verify the alignment of […]

How a rotating spherical extractor improves contact between botanical material and solvent, shortens cycle times and raises yield in essential oil production.

Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol, also known as 2-phenylethanol or PEA, is a valuable aromatic compound widely used in the fragrance, cosmetics, flavor, and personal care industries. Its pleasant, rose-like floral scent makes it an important ingredient in products ranging from perfumes to soaps and detergents. PEA has the molecular formula C₈H₁₀O and CAS number 60-12-8. In […]

The rosin manufacturing process converts natural pine resin into two valuable products: rosin and turpentine oil. Manufacturers use these products in adhesives, paints, printing inks, rubber, paper and many other industries. Natural pine resin contains resin acids, turpentine, water and small impurities. Therefore, producers must heat, separate and filter the raw material carefully. In the […]

Some of the world’s most precious natural fragrances—such as rose, jasmine, tuberose, and violet—are too delicate for steam distillation. High temperatures can damage their fragile aromatic molecules. Therefore, perfumers prefer absolute extraction to preserve the complete fragrance profile. At Dünder Makine, we combine more than 40 years of engineering experience with modern processing technology to […]

Producing premium-quality rose essential oil requires more than high-quality raw materials—it demands a carefully engineered distillation process. At Dünder Makine, we design and manufacture complete Rose Oil Distillation Plants that combine efficiency, durability, and long-term reliability. This project consists of two 500 kg copper distillation units, one 3,000 L/h cohobation system, advanced condensation equipment, Florentine […]

Bitter Orange Peel Steam Distillation Steam distillation is one of the most reliable and widely used methods for producing high-quality essential oils from botanical materials. Among citrus products, bitter orange peel (Citrus aurantium) is a valuable raw material thanks to its rich aromatic compounds and broad industrial applications. At Dündermakine, we design and manufacture industrial […]

Professional Project Planning Before Investing in a Distillation or Extraction Plant Investing in a distillation or extraction facility requires much more than selecting equipment. A successful production plant begins with accurate engineering, proper process planning, and an optimized facility layout. At Dündermakine, we help our customers design the most efficient production systems before any investment […]

Dünder Makine has completed another international project: the installation and commissioning of a complete, turnkey essential oil distillation plant in Burkina Faso. Designed, manufactured, installed and started up by our own team, the facility brings full essential oil production capacity — from raw plant material to a packaged final product — to a single site […]

A complete extraction and distillation plant usually fills an entire hall with separate machines, each handling a single step. We took a different approach and engineered all four core processes into one integrated system. The result is a single plant that carries a botanical from its raw form to a finished aromatic extract. One Plant, […]

There is a moment, on every project, when years of engineering finally meet the first rose petals — and steam begins to carry away the scent. This season, our team delivered exactly that: a complete Rosa damascena distillation facility, designed, manufactured and commissioned by Dünder Makine. For us, this was more than the delivery of […]

When a producer wants to capture the full aroma of delicate flowers like rose, jasmine or tuberose, solvent extraction is often the method of choice, and the heart of that process is the extractor. Among the different designs, the rotary extraction system stands out for the way it moves the material during extraction. In this […]
