Tea tree oil, also called melaleuca oil, is the extract from the leaves of the tea tree plant, which is native in Australia.  It has good effect in Anti-inflammatory, pore refining, curing common cold, cough, burning, coryza, asthma, remitting dysmenorrhea, closing wounds, refreshing the brain, etc. Such oil is also can be added into soap, face cream, body lotion, deodorant, disinfector, air freshener, etc. in daily use.

茶树精油, 也叫白千层精油, 是从原产于澳洲的茶树枝叶里所提取出的精华. 其具有杀菌消炎，收敛毛孔，治疗伤风感冒、咳嗽、鼻炎、哮喘，改善痛经、月经不调等功效。同时其亦可作为添加剂用于肥皂、面霜、润肤乳、除臭剂、消毒剂、空气清新剂等生活用品。

So how could we get the tea tree essential oil? As to extracting such essential oil, it can hardly do without the help of Essential Oil Distiller, which is the special equipment for essential oil extraction from various plants. Previously we have done a test for domestic customer, who has large tea tree farm in Guangdong province, China. His tea tree is brought in from Australia, thus it has good original nature. Below is the test detail for your reference.

那我们如何才能获得茶树精油呢？要想提取该精油，那我们就离不开精油提取设备的帮助了。这种设备专门用于提取各种植物花草里的挥发性精油。之前我们为一国内客户做过实验。该客户在中国广东省有大片的茶树庄园。他的茶树由澳洲引进，品质优良。如下是该次实验的细节供您参考：

Machine Type	Essential Oil Distiller EC-20
Raw Material	Tea tree leaf and branch
Condition of Material	Fresh
Weight	0.815kg
Preparation Before Test	Raw material standing by; Machine standing by
Extraction Temperature	Material temperature:101℃; Tank temperature:120℃
Heating Method	By electricity
Test Time	13:10 to 16:50, 11th May, 2016
Oil Show
Input Water Quantity	Raw material is up water, no touching with each other
Cooling System	1. Cooling by tap-water 2. Inlet tap-water temperature：room temperature 3. Outlet tap-water temperature：35-40℃
Note	1. Total test time is around 3 hours and forty minutes; Extraction time is 3 hours (extraction time starts from mixture of steam and oil vapors’ appearing) 2. Heating at 13:10; Oil forms at around 13:50, Little oil forms after 16:00
Extraction Rate	Around 0.61% 1. Tea tree branches lower the extraction rate. 2. Our separator 1.2cm length equals to 1 ml oil, so end oil is 6.3cm/1.2=5.25 ml 3. We learned that density of tea tree oil is around 0.95 g/ml, so test extraction rate is 6.3/1.2*0.95/815=0.61%

Generally we can get around 1kg tea tree oil from 100kg tea tree leaves and tender shoots (notice: not only tea tree leaves), namely that the oil yield is around 1%, while our test oil yield is just 0.61%. What happened to that? Is our machine not suitable for such extraction? NO! NO! NO! As the test is done in May, the beginning of summertime in China, tea tree is still under gathering its oil, so it is impossible to get oil yield close to or more than 1%. When it comes to late autumn and winter--the best season for oil production, the trees will have luxuriant oil inside. After test, the customer had taken some raw material to testing organization for testing oil content. It showed that his raw material had around 0.64% oil in May. That directly proofs our machine’s efficiency in such oil extraction by more than 95% oil extraction rate.

通常我们能从100千克茶树枝叶中提取出大约1千克的精油（注意：不是只有茶树叶，也有少许嫩枝干）。也就是说出油率约在1%。但可以看出我们实验出油率只有0.61%。这是什么情况？难道我们精油提取设备不适用于提取精油吗？答案当然是否定的！该实验是在五月份完成的。那会国内正是夏初之际，茶树正处于凝聚精油阶段，所以我们实验所得出油率不可能接近甚至达到1%。但随着时间推移，晚秋、冬天来临之际，正是提油的好时机，因为到那时茶树体内会含有丰富的精油。此外在实验后，客户也把五月份摘取的茶树枝叶拿去检测机构化验精油含量，数据显示原料含油率约在0.64%。那直接证明了我们精油提取设备在提取精油方面还是很高效的，提油率达到了95%以上。

At present we have gone deep with that customer in the project. Hopefully he could set it down and boom his business soon.

目前我们跟该客户正处于深度沟通阶段。望其能早日定下来，能早日借此良机财源滚滚。
