“Now we can handle more samples and get the results earlier with less work”
Learn how Denofa soya crushing plant in Norway have achieved more consistent results with automated Kjeltec™, while saving time and labour.
This Kjeldahl distillation unit provides a simple and reliable solution for safe, semi-automated distillations according to the global reference method.
Free-up lab resources and improve test throughput with semi-automated distillation that is safe, simple and reliable and according to official standards.
Food, feed, feed ingredients, forage, pet food, grain, cereal, oil seeds, meat, meat products, milk, dairy products, beer and beer ingredients.
Nitrogen, protein, Non Protein Nitrogen (NPN) and volatiles (SO2, TVBN and more).
A fast tube draining system removes the need for handling hot reagents after distillation. Interlocked safety door which must be closed with a tube in place before the unit will operate. Cooling water flow is controlled automatically and a temperature sensor stops the unit if the distillate is too hot. Sensors monitor tube in place, safety doors, reagent levels, water level and over-pressure in the steam generator providing safe use.
The patented SAfE* technology improves safety by a mixing procedure, reducing the exothermic reaction between alkali and acid during distillation and removing the need for manual pre-dilution. *Steam Addition for Equilibration
