Fat Extraction Unit “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.
Supplied complete with 2 sets of seals, adapters for different solvent
types.
Typical extraction time (food fats) 50 minutes.
