Solvent recovery extractor for fats and oils “Det-gras N”

Equipment for the extraction of fats and soluble substances that will dissolve in solvents. Based on the Soxhlet methods by Randall, the DETGRAS- N extracts fats (and or other substances) from the sample by dissolving them in a solvent. If compared to the classic standard soxhlet method, a time saving of between 30-70% can be obtained due to a two stage extraction process and high speed in obtaining high temperatures.
APPLICATIONS
Practically all methods of classic soxhlet extraction can be substituted by the DET-GRAS N. Typical fat determinations are: in meat products, animal fodder, pre-prepared foods, fish etc. Also suitable for the extraction of soluble components in paper paste, textile fibres etc.
FEATURES
Heating by protected electric heater, distributed throughout the radiator surface that provides homogeneous heating throughout the samples.

Electrical safety according to IP65.
Robust temperature control by a durable thermocouple.
Safety over temperature device.
Outer case made of solvents resistant epoxy coated steel.
Extractions can be completed using glass or cellulose thimbles.
Compatible with most common solvents: Petroleum ether. Diethyl ether, hexane, acetone acetonitrile etc.
