Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus

Soxhlet extraction heaters are designed to use in laboratories for solvent extraction under reflux. Typical applications are the determination of residual oil content in oil cake, assay of crude herbal drug sources etc.

Max surface temp – 400°C

Supply – 230V, AC

Construction

Soxhlet extraction heaters is suitable to heat soxhlet flasks of 100-350 ml capacity. The heating element is attached to knitted fabric to provide flexible support to the bottom of the flask. Glass wool insulation fills the gap between the metal casing and the heater. In event of spillage, the solvent will either evaporate or escape through the draining hole below each element. The housing has two retort rods and a cross bar on which the extraction apparatus is fixed. The apparatus has an inbuild energy regulator which controls all the heaters. The heating elements have individual ON/OFF switch and pilot lamp to indicate working.
