Supercritical Fluid Technologies has introduced the SFT-250 Supercritical Fluid Extractor (SFE).
The SFT-250 is designed to perform a variety of extractions in supercritical fluid.
Additionally, the system may be used for small-scale pilot processing.
Supercritical said the SFT-250 is simple to operate and easy to modify for evolving applications needs.
The SFT-250's extraction vessel is forged from durable stainless steel.
Vessels can range in size from 100ml to five litres.
Larger vessels are suitable for extracting very low levels of key components from a raw material or for processing larger amounts of bulk material.
A wide range of operations pressures (up to 10,000psi) and temperatures (ambient to 200C) ensures the SFT-250 is able to meet almost any application of supercritical fluids.
The SFT-250 is controlled by PID controllers, which manage pumping rates, pressures, temperature zones, mixing and safety interlocks.
Upgrades include various co-solvent modules, data logging and flow control automation.
