Features

Distillation Unit operable in Auto or Manual mode.
Programmable Logic Controller with built - in HMI.
Provision for storing two analysis programs simultaneously and can be recalled depends on the analysis routine.
Analysis cycle includes auto addition of receiver solution, water dilution, alkali addition, reaction delay time, steam injection, tube drain (please refer ordering information).
Audible & HMI Display to indicate end-of-analysis.
Suitable for 100ml (Micro), 250ml (Macro) and 500ml (Direct Distillation) tubes.
Imported geared motor bellows metering pumps for adding accurate and reproducible volumes of alkali and receiver solution.
Adjustable Alkali volume per/stroke of bellow pump with programmable number of strokes.
Imported Oscillating pump for reliable water refilling in steam generator.
In-built Borosilicate glass steam generator with Teflon cover and illumination by means of light bulb.
Transparent window on the body panel to view the status of steam generator.
Borosilicate glass splash head and condenser with 1 large bulb and 14 coils.
High sensitivity PRV made of Teflon for steam generator.
Spiral heater made of Incoloy 600 & Passivated.
Cooling water supply controlled by means of solenoid valve.
Control for low water level and excess temperature in the steam generator.
Water level control by means of four sensors as below
-Common level – normal operational mode (Signal Input).
-High level – Refill pump switched off.
-Low level – Refill pump switched on.
-Very low level – Refill pump as well as heater is switched off.
Common level probe made of Titanium for corrosion resistance.
Temperature control By means of PT 100 sensor with PLC Control.
Standby mode temperature maintained at 90˚ C to reduce distillation time and to minimize power consumption.
Steam and Water Solenoid valve are made with brass body for corrosion resistance, Viton lining for body of Steam Solenoid valve for durability.
Teflon NRV used as vent valve to avoid back suction of distillate at the end of the distillation cycle.
Safety features include HMI display indication for Low water level, Tube in place & Safety door (Transparent acrylic) interlock.
Easy to operate Thumb lever to actuating the tube holder.
Front Process area made of acrylic with silicon lined spill base, Resistant to all chemical spills and high temperature.
Slope provided in the spill base to drain the wash fluids trough drain on the back side of the panel.
Plastic Spill tray can be provided as on option.
Heat and Chemical resistant gloves for handling Distillation tubes.
The unit is provided with all necessary silicone and nylon tubing.
Body Panel made of Mild steel (1.6 thk ) with Powder coating.
Uses Official AOAC method for analysis.
