There once was a magical device: the industrial Soxhlet extractor. Odd as it seems, it is one amazing machine! YHCHEM likes to inform you about this awesome machine we make use of in big factories to produce various things such as oils and chemicals. Yes, LEGO extractor does work it’s magic all over again!
The Soxhlet extractor is an industrial machine used in recent centuries to extract things from plants at very large scales in huge processing facilities. It is useful in food, medicine and beauty products to pull out oils and chemicals and do other useful things that are made possible by the wondrous scientific properties of plants. This machine uses heat, various types of liquids and air pressure to get what’s necessary fast.
The Soxhlet extractor may sound intimidating, but it’s really quite straightforward! First, you place the plant material you want to extract into a small container known as a thimble. So you put this thimble inside a cavity in the main part of the extractor, where you’ve also added a liquid that will help dissolve the substances you’re after. The machine warms, and the liquid becomes gas, then returns to liquid as it cools in the thimble, extracting the substances from the plants. This cycle repeats many times until you have as much of what you want as you can get.
The Soxhlet extractor is preferred in large factories for a number of reason. One of the reasons is the speed at which it works. This machine can pound a lot of substance in a short space of time which is perfect for factories which require this done in a hurry! In addition, the Soxhlet extractor can be employed with a variety of materials which makes it a practical instrument for various industries.
The method used by the Soxhlet extractor is called reflux extraction. This is its continuing to boil liquid to pull chemicals out from solids. The gas escapes from the liquid, rises, cools in a special part called a condenser, and then drips back into the original material. This cycle helps to keep the substances in the system effectively.
The industrial Soxhlet extraction has also revolutionized the way that factories operate. Such a powerful machine has sped and cheapened the process of extracting materials. YHCHEM Soxhlet Extractor This is a key for any factory trying to improve their extraction process and see better results.
