Fibre analyser, F800

Fibre analyser for crude fibre analysis by the conventional Weende method and detergent fibre analysis by the Van Soest method. For plant materials, feed, food and other agricultural products; determines crude fibre, neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), hemicellulose and acid detergent lignin (ADL).

• Concealed pull-out reagent container for convenient dosing
• Corrosive liquids do not come into contact with any pump, so the waste discharge pump is not exposed to corrosion
• Crucible back-flush function keeps the sample from caking in the crucible and obstructing filtration
• Dosing overflow protection prevents corrosive liquid from overflowing through operator error, protecting the operator
• Adjustable crucible heating power for easy control of the heating rate and lower energy consumption
• Built-in preheating considerably shortens the total analysis time
• Five crucible types in the standard configuration to suit different samples
• Freely settable analysis time with count-up and countdown timers and a real-time end-of-run reminder, for precise control of the analysis
• Integrated infrared heating heats the crucibles quickly and more uniformly, giving more consistent extraction, higher recovery and more accurate results
• Optional F800-B cold extractor: defats 6 samples simultaneously before hot extraction, and is used for solvent (acetone) dehydration of fibre residues and for lignin determination
• The F800-B uses the same crucible system as the F800, so samples can be dried and weighed between extractions if required
• F800-B: high-pressure pump prevents the sample from blocking the crucible and keeps extraction efficient
• F800-B: splash guard eliminates the hazard of highly corrosive liquids during extraction
