BEHR Behrotest® KEX 2000 F/TK Complete Soxhlet Extraction System (2000 mL Extractor with 5000 mL Round Flask and Titanium Condenser)

The BEHR Behrotest® KEX 2000 F/TK Soxhlet Extraction System represents the ultimate solution for large-volume fat and solvent extractions, designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern analytical, industrial, and research laboratories.

This complete system is engineered for high-capacity extraction applications involving food, feed, environmental, and chemical samples. It features a 2000 mL glass extractor, a 5000 mL round-bottom flask, and a robust titanium condenser for superior heat resistance, efficient solvent recovery, and long-term operational durability.

Equipped with an integrated magnetic stirrer and infinitely variable heating control, the KEX 2000 F/TK provides precise process regulation for consistent and reproducible extraction results. Designed with BEHR’s hallmark focus on safety, performance, and ease of use, it also supports acid digestion pre-treatment when used with BEHR hydrolysis units, enabling total fat determination according to the Weibull and Stoldt method.

Key Features

• High-Volume Soxhlet Extraction: Ideal for large-scale fat, oil, and organic residue analyses with a 2000 mL extractor and 5000 mL flask.
• Titanium Condenser: Ensures excellent corrosion resistance, efficient condensation, and extended lifespan, even with aggressive solvents.
• Infinitely Variable Heating Regulation: Provides full control of extraction temperature and solvent evaporation rates.
• Integrated Magnetic Stirrer: Promotes homogeneous heating and solvent mixing for precise, repeatable results.
• Böckerhoff-Type Lifting Tube: Guarantees uniform extraction across the entire sample matrix.
• Stopcock Model (F/TK): Allows direct solvent discharge after extraction, eliminating the need for post-extraction distillation.
• Complete Extraction Setup: Includes reaction vessels, spacers, condensers, and holders for secure operation.
• Practical Stand and Holders: Facilitate safe condenser handling and adapter fixation between extractions.
• Compatible with BEHR Hydrolysis Units: Enables combined hydrolysis and extraction for total fat quantification (Weibull & Stoldt).
