Ginger Oil Extraction Machine for Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Grade Production
Xi'an Bioland Instrument has specialized in plant extraction equipment manufacturing for over 15 years. Our ginger oil extraction machine completes a single batch extraction in 24–40 minutes, with efficiency improved by 50–500% compared to traditional distillation processes. The equipment operates at low temperatures of 40–60°C, fully preserving heat-sensitive active ingredients such as zingiberene and gingerols. It meets GMP, CE, and ISO compliance requirements and is widely used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic-grade production scenarios. OEM/ODM customization is supported, and products have been exported to multiple markets including Europe and Southeast Asia.

Why This Machine Solves Your Extraction Challenges?
Many pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturers face the same dilemma: low yields from traditional distillation, degradation of active ingredients at high temperatures, and non-compliant solvent recovery leading to high regulatory risks. The Bioland product addresses these three core issues from the source of process design.

Key Features & Benefits
Verified & Dependable High Extraction Efficiency
Extraction efficiency is 50 to 500% more than standard distillation equipment. The multi-stage extraction mode can further boost the recovery of ginger oleoresin in one batch by up to 20% depending on the origin of raw material and drying procedure. We may offer pre-test data reports for your raw material samples.
Low Temperature Protection – All Active Ingredients Preserved
The apparatus works in the temperature range of 40–60°C, hence avoiding the zingiberene, gingerols and shogaols thermal degradation losses. This is especially important for pharmaceutical and high-end cosmetic applications, since the active chemicals are directly related to the efficacy of the product.
Multiple Processes, Single Machine – Flexible Response to Various Specification Requirements
The equipment platform enables flexible changeover between three processes: Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction (UAE), Reflux Extraction, and OSE (percolation extraction). No need to purchase several machines for varied specifications of product, lowering the fixed asset expenditure.
Closed Loop Solvent Recovery – Emission Compliance with Cost Reduction
The integrated recovery system can recover more than 95% of ethanol or n-hexane in each cycle, greatly reducing the cost of solvent procurement, and also enabling the factory to fulfil the environmental emission regulation standards and penalty risks.
Industrial-Grade Explosion-Proof Safety Design
For the organic solvent working environment, the equipment uses ATEX-certified / Class 1 Div 2 / Zone 1 explosion-proof motors, sensors and control cabinets to ensure the safety of the user and the facility, and meet the industrial solvent operating requirement.

How It Works?
Step 1: Raw Material Pre-Treatment
Fresh ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale) must be dried to a moisture content below 10% before feeding. Standardized pre-treatment ensures batch-to-batch extraction consistency.
Step 2: Fully Automatic Extraction Control
The PLC control system automatically manages temperature, pressure, and extraction time. Solvent or steam fully contacts the ginger rhizome within the sealed pressure vessel, releasing ginger essential oil and oleoresin into the separation chamber.
Step 3: Solvent Recovery & Product Collection
The closed-loop recovery system separates and recovers solvent from the product, ultimately obtaining concentrated ginger oil with residual solvent below 50 ppm, compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 111 and European Pharmacopoeia (EP 5.4) residual solvent standards. The entire single-batch process takes 24–40 minutes.

Construction & Materials
The extraction vessel is made of SUS304 stainless steel as standard, with SUS316L optional for corrosion-resistant applications. The internal wall is polished to Ra < 0.4µm, eliminating microbial growth dead corners and meeting GMP hygiene requirements for pharmaceutical production environments.
All welds undergo non-destructive testing (NDT), including X-ray radiographic inspection and ultrasonic inspection. Mill Test Certificates (MTC) for steel materials are provided with the equipment, confirming stainless steel composition and preventing heavy metal contamination of the final product.
The supercritical CO₂ configuration pressure vessel is designed to withstand pressures up to 35 MPa. Hydrostatic testing at 1.5× design pressure is performed before delivery, and helium leak detection is simultaneously conducted for supercritical models.

FAQ
Q: Which process is most suitable for ginger oil extraction?
A: Supercritical CO₂ extraction provides a full-spectrum extraction of essential oil and oleoresin with no thermal degradation; steam distillation is lower in cost and suitable for extracting only volatile essential oil, but cannot effectively capture the heavy oleoresin that gives ginger its pungent flavor.
Q: What are the moisture content requirements for raw ginger?
A: Both solvent extraction and supercritical systems require dried ginger moisture content below 10%. Steam distillation equipment can accept fresh ginger, but single-batch yields are relatively lower.
Q: What is the expected yield per batch?
A: Due to differences in raw material origin and drying processes, professional equipment typically achieves yields of 1.5% to 3.5%. Multi-stage systems can provide an additional increase of up to 20% compared to standard single-stage distillation.
Q: Is the equipment suitable for solvent working environment safety requirements?
A: Yes. Explosion-proof configurations include ATEX-certified / Class 1 Div 2 / Zone 1 motors, sensors, and control cabinets, specifically designed for industrial-scale ethanol or n-hexane operations.
Q: What does routine maintenance include?
A: Includes: fractionation column cleaning, high-pressure gasket replacement every six months, molecular sieve regeneration in the CO₂ circulation loop, and annual calibration of pressure sensors.
Q: Does the equipment support production line customization?
A: Yes. Bioland accepts OEM/ODM orders. Solvent recovery units, CIP clean-in-place systems, and discharge configurations are all optional. Custom equipment lead time is 30 business days.
