3 Product description
3.1 Description of function
The FatExtractor E-500 is designed to carry out the following solid-liquid extraction
methods:
Soxhlet Extraction (see Chapter3.1.1 "Soxhlet Extraction", page14)
Hot Extraction (see Chapter3.1.2 "Hot Extraction", page15)
Economic Continuous Extraction (see Chapter3.1.3 "Economic Continuous Extrac-
tion", page15)
3.1.1 Soxhlet Extraction
Step 1: Extraction
The sample is located in the extraction chamber.
The beaker contains the solvent.
The solvent is heated, vapor rises up to the condenser, con-
denses and drops into the extraction chamber with the sample.
The magnetic valve is closed, the solvent is collected up to the
optical sensor and extracts the analyte.
When the optical sensor is reached, the magnetic valve opens
and the solvent containing the analyte flows back into the beaker.
Step 2: Rinsing
The solvent is heated, vapor rises up to the condenser, con-
denses and drops into the extraction chamber with the sample.
The magnetic valve is open, the solvent flows back into beaker,
the solvent is not collected.
Step 3: Drying
The solvent is heated, vapor rises up to the condenser, con-
denses and flows into tank.
The analyte remains in the beaker.

BÜCHI Labortechnik AG Product description | 3
Operation Manual FatExtractor E-500 15/88
3.1.2 Hot Extraction
Step 1: Extraction
The sample is located in the beaker.
The beaker contains the solvent.
The solvent is heated, vapor rises up to the condenser, con-
denses and drops into the beaker with the sample.
Step 2: Rinsing
The solvent in the beaker is heated up and evaporated.
The vapor rises up to the condenser.
The condensed solvent flows into the beaker with the sample.
The tank bottle valve opens periodically and condensed solvent
flows in the tank bottle.
The solvent level decreases.
Step 3: Drying
The solvent is heated, vapor rises up to the condenser, con-
denses and flows into tank.
The analyte remains in the beaker.
3.1.3 Economic Continuous Extraction
Step 1: Extraction
The sample is located in the extraction chamber.
The beaker contains the solvent.
The solvent is heated, vapor rises up around the sample to the
condenser, condenses and drops back into extraction chamber
through the sample into the beaker.
Step 2: Drying
The solvent is heated, vapor rises up around the sample to the
condenser, condenses and flows into tank.
The analyte remains in the beaker.
