Large samples may be placed directly in the extractor body. Designed primarily for use with proprietary makes of paper thimble and suitable sizes are listed below. size 24/29 has a 24mm diameter at its smallest point and the overall cone or socket height is 29mm. Joint sizes are designated XX/XX, the prefix (XX/-) being the small diameter of the cone or socket and the suffix (-/XX) being the cone or socket height, i.e. US Pharmacopoeia - Type 1 borosilicate glassįurther technical details are available on request.
#SOXHLET EXTRACTOR ISO#
ISO 3585, DIN 12217 - Type 3.3 borosilicate glassĪSTM E-438 Type 1 - Class A borosilicate glass Quickfit® is manufactured in clear, Pyrex® borosilicate glass, with a low coefficient of expansion, excellent chemical and heat resistance. Precision-engineered, ground glass joints with a standard taper and smooth surface ensure complete interchangeability of elements with the same joint size and the highest standards of leak-tightness. There are no returns on extractors.Quickfit® jointed glassware from Scilabware is a comprehensive range of laboratory articles with interconnecting joints, enabling simple to complex chemistry set-ups to be easily constructed and allowing a variety of analytical, development or educational tasks to be undertaken. Limited consulting on the system is available. *This system requires a cold water source.Ĭontact for shipping estimates for your location.īuyer assumes all responsibility of using the extractor. Solvent - Ethanol Only (this will not work with butane, propane or CO2) Larger units are available upon request and can be built to custom specifications. Run Time - Run times are between 3-12 hours.Ĭapacity - 1lb, 2.5lb & 5lb systems available. Lead time is 1-2 weeks depending on stock. An introductory distillation course is necessary if you have never used a soxhlet system before. Please Note: This is not an automated unit.
#SOXHLET EXTRACTOR MANUAL#
However, keep in mind the colder the condenser the better.Ī step by step instructional manual is included with limited consultation on running the system. Low tech methods can be used to run the condenser such as an ice water bath or simply hooking it up to facet/sink. We now offer custom built ice machines for use as water coolers. These units are built to do soxhlet extraction under vacuum, and can also be used to recover the alcohol out of the extract. Hot Water Source or Heating Element for Base


The units come with a solid or jacketed base for your choice in heating apparatus. These extractors come complete with a vacuum apparatus and 1/4" hose outlets to hook up to a cold water source. This recovered alcohol can be used again for the next extraction. The system now runs like a vacuum oven but will recover the alcohol used in the extraction process.

Our extractors come with a water jacketed base to ensure you cannot overheat/burn your extract. With the turn of a few valves, running the system will now recover the alcohol from the extract. At this point you have extracted almost all of the components from the plant.Īlcohol Recovery: Once the extraction is complete, the herb column is emptied of plant material and replaced. The system is run until the resulting tincture is relatively clear as it comes through the herb column.
#SOXHLET EXTRACTOR FULL#
This method ensures you get a full spectrum extraction at the highest yield possible. The extracted oils collect in the bottom chamber while the alcohol continues to recycle through the herb. Pure distilled alcohol is continuously flushed through the herb. Alcohol is evaporated under vacuum and recondensed above the herb column with a condenser. These extractors are built to maintain the synergy of the plant to the highest extent.Īlcohol Extraction: This is done via soxhlet extraction. Maintaining these natural ratios is important in maximizing the effects of the plant on the body. These are extracted and maintained at the plant's natural occurring ratios. In terms of hemp/cannabis extraction, this means it gets the full cannabinoid profile along with all the terpenes present. Vacuum distillations create lower boiling points making extraction safe and effective for you and your plant of interest. This is a hermetically sealed vessel that operates under vacuum. Built with alchemical philosophy in mind, these protect any heat sensitive chemicals all while making sure the volatile oils cannot escape. These systems are the largest soxhlet extractors around. In herbal processing, it makes a strong tincture in as little as 3-6 hours rather than the typical 3-5 weeks for a maceration. It endures quick run times but ensures the highest yield and highest potency. Soxhlet Extraction is a quantitative approach to plant extraction.
