Product Description
This setup is designed to study the performance characteristics of solvent extraction of a particular component from a packed bed of solid material. The apparatus allows study of such systems as water / inorganic salts, water/sugar bed, methylene chloride / vegetable oil etc.
The set up consists of a glass column, feed tank, receiving tanks and piping. Rotameter are provided for flow measurement. The glass column is fitted with SS mesh to support the solid material.
The solvent is introduced near the bottom of the column and it flow upward counter currently to the solids. A pump supplies the solvent and flow rate is monitored by means of a Rotameter. Solvent feed tank is kept in a bath fitted with heater. A digital temperature controller is used to control and measure the temperature of feed

Efficient Extraction ProcessThis packed bed extraction apparatus utilizes a fixed bed of solid particles through which a liquid solvent is passed. The system enables optimal transfer of desired soluble compounds from the solid material to the solvent, making it ideal for laboratory research and educational applications.
Reliable and Adaptable DesignEngineered from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the equipment guarantees longevity and performance. Its voltage compatibility (110-220V) and broad temperature control (up to 199.9C) allow seamless integration into diverse laboratory environments, supporting various extraction protocols.
FAQ's of Solid Liquid Extraction Packed Bed Type:
Q: How does the Solid Liquid Extraction Packed Bed Type unit operate in a laboratory setting?
A: The unit works by packing solid material into a bed through which a solvent flows. As the solvent passes through, it dissolves the targeted solute from the solid, enabling efficient extraction under controlled laboratory conditions.
Q: What are the primary uses of this extraction equipment?
A: It is used for experimental studies, sample preparation, and research involving extraction of compounds from solid media in laboratories. Common applications include food analysis, pharmaceutical research, and chemical engineering studies.
Q: When should this equipment be chosen over conventional extraction methods?
A: This packed bed system is ideal when higher extraction efficiency, uniform solvent flow, and reproducibility are required, especially in research and education settings demanding controlled and scaled-down experimentation.
Q: Where is this Solid Liquid Extraction Packed Bed Type unit commonly supplied?
A: This equipment is distributed, exported, manufactured, supplied, and traded to laboratories throughout India, supporting universities, research institutions, and industrial labs.
Q: What is the process workflow of the packed bed extraction system?
A: The process involves loading the solid sample into the packed bed column, circulating the extraction solvent through the bed at desired voltage and temperature settings, and collecting the solvent containing the extracted components for analysis.
Q: How does using stainless steel benefit laboratory operations?
A: Stainless steel construction enhances durability, resistance to corrosion, and simplifies cleaning, making the equipment dependable for repeated use in rigorous laboratory environments.
