Desorption system

The Tobacco Leaf Desolventizer is a specialized industrial unit for removing and recovering solvents (e.g. ethanol, hexane) from extracted tobacco leaves to obtain high-purity nicotine while optimizing solvent reclamation for cost-efficient production.

Key features:

• Effective solvent removal — Removes residual solvents from tobacco extracts to meet industry purity requirements for nicotine production.
• Steam desolventizing technology — Advanced steam stripping vaporizes and removes solvents without degrading sensitive nicotine compounds.
• High solvent recovery rate — Reclaims solvents for reuse to reduce consumption and operating costs.
• Vacuum-assisted solvent removal — Lowers solvent boiling points to enable removal at reduced temperatures, preserving extract integrity.
• Customizable process parameters — Adjustable temperature, pressure and steam flow for different solvents and extraction conditions.
• Corrosion-resistant materials — Constructed from 304/316L stainless steel (food-grade) for durability and hygiene.
• Automated control system — PLC-based control for real-time monitoring and precise process regulation.
• Compact, modular design — Space-efficient layout for easy integration and scalability within extraction lines.
• Energy-efficient operation — Steam optimisation and heat recovery reduce energy consumption.

Applications:

• Nicotine extraction from tobacco leaves — solvent removal and solvent recovery in nicotine production lines.
• Botanical and herbal extracts — suitable for essential oils and plant-based extract processes.
• Pharmaceutical and chemical industries — applicable where solvent recovery and purity are critical (APIs, fine chemicals).

Why choose this desolventizer:

• High purity and yield — Minimizes solvent residue and delivers concentrated extracts.
• Cost-efficient and sustainable — High recovery rates and energy savings lower operational costs and environmental impact.
