Product Description
The Soxlet apparatus isused to extract and clean the core sample from oil, water and any othermaterials. The apparatus is based on a heating mantle to boil the solvent, asample chamber and a water-cooled system to condense the solvent vapors. Thecore sample is first placed into the sample chamber. Then, the solvent isheated and vaporized. The solvent vapors travel through a lateral way and riseto the top of the glass tube where is the cold trap. At this place, the vaporscondense and fall into the sample chamber. The solvent fills the chamber andremoves soluble components from the core. Then, the spoiled solvent isevacuated from the chamber through a siphon and goes back to the flask where itwill be redistilled
Efficient Multi-Sample ExtractionExtract up to six samples simultaneously using individual heating mantles, each with separate energy regulators for customizable temperature control. The uniform heating and individual control allow researchers and labs to process various materials efficiently and consistently, saving time and resources on repetitive tasks.
Safety and DurabilityConstructed with a powder-coated mild steel body and insulated with glass wool, this Soxhlet Extraction Unit ensures robustness and user safety. It features shock-proof wiring, individual indicator lamps for each mantle, and a built-in fume riser for safe ventilation, making it reliable for continuous laboratory use.
Adaptable and User-Friendly DesignDesigned for standard Soxhlet flasks and condensers of 250ml, 500ml, and 1000ml capacity, the units manual operation is straightforward. Clamp rods and flask holders are included for secure support, making installation and daily operation practical and convenient for lab professionals.
FAQs of SOXHLET EXTRACTION UNIT 6 REGULATOR:
Q: How does the SOXHLET EXTRACTION UNIT 6 REGULATOR operate?
A: The unit operates manually, allowing users to independently regulate the temperature of each heating mantle. Each mantle is controlled via its own energy regulator and features an on/off indicator lamp for easy monitoring. Simply place the sample in a supported Soxhlet flask, connect the condenser, and set the desired temperature for each extraction.
Q: What benefits does using individual heating mantles provide?
A: Having six separate heating mantles with energy regulators lets you conduct multiple extractions simultaneously, each at a distinct temperature. This flexibility enables tailored extraction protocols, enhances workflow efficiency, and promotes reproducible results across different samples.
Q: What types and sizes of glassware are compatible with this unit?
A: The unit accepts standard Soxhlet flasks in 250ml, 500ml, and 1000ml sizes, making it versatile for varying sample volumes and laboratory requirements. Its also compatible with standard condensers used in Soxhlet extraction procedures.
Q: When should I use this Soxhlet extraction unit in my laboratory process?
A: This apparatus is ideal when you need continuous solvent extraction of solid materials, such as plant material or other substances requiring thorough extraction. It is commonly used in analytical, pharmaceutical, environmental, and research laboratories.
Q: Where is the best place to set up the Soxhlet extraction unit?
A: Set up the apparatus in a well-ventilated laboratory area on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate space for connecting glassware and for safe operation. The built-in fume riser facilitates ventilation and enhances safety during prolonged use.
Q: What are the key safety features of this Soxhlet extraction unit?
A: Safety is prioritized with shock-proof, insulated wiring, glass wool insulation, and individual pilot lamps to signal heating status. The powder-coated mild steel body is chemical resistant, and a built-in fume riser provides additional protection by improving ventilation around the mantles.
Q: How does the extraction process benefit from the units heating design?
A: The units mantle design delivers uniform heat distribution, preventing hot spots and ensuring consistent extraction. Each mantles temperature is independently regulated, allowing optimal solvent recovery and extraction efficiency for each sample processed.
