Armfield Benchtop Micro Rapid Extractor

The Benchtop Rapid Extractor is used to extract the active constituents from small 1 litre samples of material. It uses high pressure and a combination of both static and dynamic extraction phases to achieve a rapid extraction of the active materials with minimum degradation to the product. In the dynamic phases, the solvent is passed through the material providing a forced percolation and agitation.

FEATURES

• Fast, efficient solid-liquid extraction of active constituents from herbs and plant extracts, natural food flavours, fruit flavours, spirit liquors, tinctures and infusions, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals
• High pressure, room temperature extraction, excellent for sensitive materials
• Unaltered natural properties and characteristics of the active constituents, no discolouration or oxidization
• Easy to use microprocessor control and real time display of sequencing and process parameters
• Automatic pressure control
• Automatic pressure control
• Automatic alarm indication of process anomalies
• Highly flexible extraction parameters

BENEFITS

• Fast response with results in hours rather than days
• Small scale, only one litre of material is required
• Simple cleaning and maintenance procedures
• Uses ethanol, glycerol, water or similar safe solvents
• Reproducible results
• Scale up
