- Ease of Maintenance: Designed for simple cleaning and inspection, which maintains optimal performance and longevity of the unit.
- Innovative Design: Features quick residue discharge, trend display of process parameters, and a space-efficient design.
Operation Mechanism
The raw material is filled into the extractor and extracted with solvents ethanol and/or water. The solvent can be pre-heated and continuously re-heated during percolation. After the extraction cycle, the liquid extract is filtered and pumped to the integrated evaporator for concentration. The residual liquid is sucked off from the wet cake by applying vacuum and the final cake is discharged easily from the extractor by opening the bottom cover.
