Soxhlet Fat Extraction System

The Soxhlet Fat Extraction System is a laboratory apparatus designed for the precise and efficient determination of fat content in food, feed, and other organic materials. Based on the classical Soxhlet extraction principle, this system ensures accurate results by repeatedly washing the sample with a solvent in a fully automated or semi-automatic setup. It is widely used in food analysis, quality control, and research laboratories for gravimetric determination of crude fat as per standard methods like AOAC, ISO, and BIS.

Features:

• Efficient Extraction Process: Uses continuous solvent extraction for high accuracy and reproducibility.
• Temperature Control: Independent heating mantles with digital temperature regulation for precise operation.
• Solvent Recovery System: Minimizes solvent loss and ensures environmental safety.
• Multiple Extraction Units: Available in 3, 6, or 12 sample configurations.
• Easy Operation: User-friendly design with quick assembly and cleaning.
• Durable Construction: Made of high-grade stainless steel and heat-resistant glassware.
• Safety Features: Equipped with over-temperature protection and solvent vapor condenser.
