SER 158

Automatic Solvent Extractor

Safe Solid-Liquid Extractor for a Variety
of Applications
SER 158 Solvent AutoExtractor
Solvent extraction with the SER 158 can be performed for extractable matter determination on a wide range of sample matrices either in
food and non-food industries (such as pulp, paper, textile, chemical etc...) and for sample preparation. The solid-liquid extraction process
removes the soluble components from solids using a liquid solvent. The SER 158 works in accordance to international standards such as
AOAC, ISO, EPA, APHA, UNI.

FAST EXTRACTION
The automatic extraction process completes fully unattended analysis according
to the Randall method that is five times faster than traditional Soxhlet.
The high-speed heating plates in glass-ceramic ensure fast solvent boiling.

MINIMUM SOLVENT CONSUMPTION

The patent pending titanium condensers guarantee the unparalleled solvent
recovery of more than 90% that is collected in cooled recovery tank.

HIGH PRODUCTIVITY & VERSATILITY

The powerful ControlPad is able to control up to 4 SER 158 units
(3 or 6 positions) independently allowing to increase the number of units
according to throughput requirement.

MAXIMUM SAFETY
SolventXpress™ ensures zero exposure to solvents
SafeEnd™ prevents the overheating and burning of soluble matter
Remote analysis interruption and immediate notifications trough VELP Ermes

EASE OF USE
The SER 158 Series makes hot solvent extraction easy and fast:
Preset library of methods and possibility to add new ones and mark
preferred methods
Multilingual support
Balance connection for automatic result calculation
Barcorde reader to reduce risk of errors

SMART INSTRUMENT
The SER 158 is designed to work unattended 24/7 with Load&Go
technologies, minimizing necessary operator intervention.
Thanks to VELP Ermes connection is possible to monitor the analysis and
be notified, anytime, anywhere.
