New Supercritical Fluid Extractor for a Variety of Evolving Applications

Supercritical Fluid Technologies, Inc.’s (USA) SFT-250 Supercritical Fluid Extractor (SFE) is designed to perform a variety of extractions in supercritical fluid and is engineered to meet the day-to-day rigors of the research lab. Additionally, the system may be used for small scale pilot processing. The SFT-250 is simple to operate and easy to modify for evolving applications needs. 

The SFT-250’s extraction vessel is forged from durable 17-4-PH Stainless Steel which is stronger and lighter than traditional Stainless Steel. Vessels can range in size from 100 mL to 5 liters. Larger vessels are ideal for extracting very low levels of key components from a raw material or for process larger amounts of bulk material. A wide range of operations pressures (up to 10,000 psi) and temperatures (ambient to 200 ^oC) ensures the SFT-250 has the flexibility required to meet almost any application of supercritical fluids.

The SFT-250 is controlled by PID controllers. These manage pumping rates, pressures, temperature zones and safety interlocks. Various co-solvent modules are available.
