Semi-automatic crude fiber extraction unit

Easy handling: The user is guided through the procedures with messages output on the display. behr ABP ("acknowledge before proceeding") method to ensure optimum analytical reliability. The manual operation of air and suction pumps is possible. The practical sample rack for filter crucibles prevents sample loss. The same crucibles can be used in the DG 2+2 and DG 6 cold extraction unit.

Crude fiber determination with behr: ISO, AOAC and AACC compatibleThere are regulations in place worldwide for the determination of crude fiber content. Standard procedures are applied such as ISO 6865:2000, ISO 5498:2000 (AOAC Official Method 962.09) AACC method 32-10.01, etc.

Crude fiber determination is an element of the classic Weende feed analysis. For crude fiber determination the sample is - if required degreased - treated successively with boiling acid and alkaline dilutions in the prescribed concentrations. Following filtration with a sintered glass filter, the sample is washed, dried, weight and incinerated at 475 … 500 °C. The weight loss during incineration corresponds to the crude fiber content of the sample.
