Kjeltec 9 Distillator

The KjeltecTM 9 Distillator is a fully automated distillation unit designed primarily for Kjeldahl analysis, but widely used for many different distillation applications.

Kjeltec 9 Distillator

Overview

Value

Automated protein analysis that is safe and simple-to-run with easy data handling, minimal operator time and reduced risk of error. Ensure high uptime with optional Alerts and Notifications.

Sample Type

Raw materials and finished products in food, feed and agriculture.

Parameters

Nitrogen, protein, ammonia.

Features

Autosamplers
Safe and Easy Operations

Ensure safe operations with FOSS pioneered SAfE* mode for safe distillation of samples that form salt cakes and bellow pumps for accurate reagent dispensing. A variable output steam generator broadens the application area to other volatile components.

Safety Features
Reduces Operational Cost with Accurate Reagent Dispensing

Accurate reagent dispensing reduces cost per test. At the same time, a self-adjusting cooling water system saves water to further reduce cost, while long-life components ensure minimal downtime. Corrosion-free materials and alkali resistant plastic splash head/tube draining vessel secure long instrument lifetime.
