Solid/liquid extraction system for industrial applications
Optimize your solid-liquid extraction needs with a compact multifunctional system designed for diverse extraction modes, ensuring precision and adaptability in handling various compounds, from active pharmaceutical ingredients to specialty chemical formulations.

Extracts and Concentrates Bioactive Compounds Efficiently
The 1.5L Solid/Liquid Extractor from De Dietrich Process Systems is designed to efficiently extract and concentrate bioactive compounds, essential oils, and specialty chemicals. This versatile system features three extraction modes: trickle bed, underflow, and Soxhlet, catering to various applications, including pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and biopharmaceuticals. It integrates a 6L spherical evaporator with electrical heating, enabling precise solvent temperature control between cooling fluid levels and the solvent’s boiling point. Capable of operating within a wide temperature range (20 to 150°C), it ensures efficient extraction while maintaining material integrity with its borosilicate glass construction. Suitable for R&D and pilot operations, the system supports batch and bench-top processes, making it ideal for fine chemical producers and specialty chemical manufacturers. Additionally, its modular design includes compact valves and quick-release couplings, facilitating easy cleaning, maintenance, and extraction basket changes.
