Solid Liquid Extraction Unit
Product Code : LSK-TWL-10810
Solid Liquid Extraction Unit (SKU LSK-TWL-10810) is a semi-batch trainer for learning how a soluble component is leached from a solid by a hot, recirculating solvent. Solvent temperature is adjustable, so students can measure its effect on the separation. It is used in mass transfer and separation labs of chemical engineering and pharmacy courses. Science Lab Supplies manufactures it at its factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and supplies it direct to colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Solvent in a spherical vessel is heated in a heating bath, boiled, condensed and passed to the extraction vessel, where the solid sits in a glass fibre bag. The extract-laden solvent returns to the reboiler, and the cycle repeats until extraction is complete; a reflux divider, pipelines and valves complete the circuit.

Applications and Experiments for the Solid Liquid Extraction Unit
The unit is used to study leaching as a separation method: extract outlet, extractant inflow, material inflow and residue illustrate the counter-current principle. Students vary solvent temperature and feed arrangement, measure extract yield after evaporating the solvent, and relate the results to plant-scale extraction in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
- B.Tech/B.E. chemical engineering mass transfer lab: solid-liquid extraction (leaching).
- Effect of solvent temperature on extraction rate and yield.
- Comparing top, bottom and common solvent feed arrangements.
- B.Pharm and food technology: extracting active constituents from plant material.
Many extraction solvents are flammable; keep ignition sources away, run the unit in a ventilated area and work under supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
The unit is complete with the spherical vessel, heating bath, condenser, reflux divider, extraction vessel and the necessary pipelines and valves. The solvent feed arrangement (top, bottom or common) is chosen when ordering. Solvent and the solid material to be extracted are provided by the laboratory.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a quotation for one unit or for several for a separation processes lab. Each Science Lab Supplies quotation gives the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and other engineering lab equipment in India from the same range can be listed with it.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda. Send your enquiry through the contact page or the enquiry cart; tender buyers can see the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Solid Liquid Extraction Unit work?
Solvent is boiled, condensed and passed over the solid held in a glass fibre bag. The extract-rich solvent returns to the reboiler until extraction is complete, then is evaporated to recover the extract.
Which solvent feed arrangements are available?
The unit can be supplied with solvent feed from the top, from the bottom, or with the common arrangement. State your choice when you ask for a quotation.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer. The unit is built at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and quotations come directly from the factory.
What can students vary during experiments?
The solvent temperature can be adjusted, so students can study its effect on the separation, alongside extraction time and the solvent feed arrangement fitted to the unit.
