Construction and Design
The Solid-Liquid Extraction OperatiX - 10 (IUO-3707) is built around a revolving extractor with 9 cells, a rotor diameter of approximately 200mm, and a speed of approximately 12h⁻¹. A spiral conveyor with a maximum feed rate of approximately 20L/h feeds the extraction material into the extractor cells. Three peristaltic pumps, each with a maximum flow rate of approximately 25L/h and variable speed of 0 to 300min⁻¹, supply solvent to each stage. Three heaters, each consuming 300W, provide PID-controlled temperature regulation per stage. Conductivity sensors are fitted at each stage to monitor the separation procedure. Separate tanks hold the extraction material (more than 5L), extraction residue (approx. 5L), solvent (approx. 20L), and extract (approx. 20L). Valves allow switching between one, two, or three-stage continuous modes.
Software
Software OperatiX - 10 (optional). DAQ software specially designed in National Instrument™, LABVIEW™ environment to measure and calculate the results of the apparatus. The software is optional; a set of electronic sensors is included when the software is used.
