The Behr KEX 5000F/TK Extraction Apparatus is a high-capacity system designed for classical Soxhlet and fat extraction applications in analytical, industrial, and research laboratories. Built for reliability and performance, this apparatus enables efficient extraction of fats, oils, and other extractable compounds from a wide variety of sample matrices.
Equipped with a titanium condenser, a 5000 mL extraction vessel, and a 10,000 mL round-bottom flask, the system offers exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and scalability for demanding extraction workflows.
When combined with Behr hydrolysis units, the KEX 5000F/TK supports acid digestion prior to extraction, allowing for the determination of total fat content according to the Weibull-Stoldt method.
Key Features
- High-Volume Extraction – Accommodates up to 5000 mL of extractable sample, suitable for large or concentrated material analysis.
- Titanium Condenser – Offers superior corrosion resistance and thermal performance, ideal for aggressive solvents.
- 10,000 mL Round Bottom Flask – Provides generous solvent capacity for extended extraction cycles and complete sample recovery.
- Integrated Magnetic Stirring – Ensures homogeneous heating and uniform extraction efficiency.
- Continuously Variable Heating Mantle – Precise temperature control for optimal solvent evaporation and recovery.
- Innovative “Böckerhoff” Lifting Tube Design – Guarantees consistent results across all sample positions.
- Stopcock Extractor (F Model) – Eliminates the need for post-extraction distillation, saving time and solvent.
- Stable Stand Design – Allows secure positioning of condensers and extraction adapters during and between runs.
