12l solid/liquid extractor for pilot plant solutions

Optimize your extraction processes with a versatile extractor that accommodates multiple modes, ensuring efficient separation and concentration for high-purity outputs. Ideal for R&D and pilot plant operations demanding precision and adaptability across various compounds and formulations.

Extracts and Concentrates Solids into Liquids

The 12L Solid/Liquid Extractor from De Dietrich Process Systems is a versatile manual extraction system tailored for the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. With its modular design, this extractor specializes in precise solid/liquid separation, utilizing three modes: trickle bed, underflow, and Soxhlet extraction, offering flexibility for a range of applications. It is particularly adept in processing active pharmaceutical ingredients and herbal extracts. The system features a 20L spherical evaporator with a coil-type immersion heater, maintaining solvent temperatures close to boiling for optimal extraction. With a processing capacity suited for pilot plant operations, it accommodates manual operations and integrates smoothly into existing systems. The equipment ensures energy efficiency with a vacuum-regulated temperature control, while its borosilicate glass and stainless steel construction offers robust chemical resistance. Additionally, it complies with EX-zone safety standards, ensuring reliability in hazardous environments. Easy to clean and maintain, this extractor is an asset for R&D and production departments focused on high-purity extracts and compounds.
