Food analyzer AKV-6

fiber determinationsemi-automaticsimultaneous

AKV-6 semi-automatic apparatus is designed to measure crude fiber content in food, tea, animal feed, etc. AKV-6 apparatus can significantly reduce the time required for the analysis of each sample, reduce the complexity and minimize the human factor (probability of errors) during the analysis. The method is based on the sequential processing of a test sample with solutions of acid and alkali, washing, drying, ashing and quantitative determination of the organic residue by the weight method. Crude fiber content is expressed as mass fraction in % or in grams per 1 kg of dry substance. AKV-6 system allows the simultaneous analysis of six samples. It is recommended to install the apparatus inside exhaust hood, it is recommended to work with protective gloves and glasses, since acid and alkali are used for the analysis. Specifications: • The accuracy of fiber weighting in samples with fiber content up to 10%: at least 0.4%. • The accuracy of fiber weighting in samples with a fiber content of more than 10%: at least 4%. • The number of samples analyzed simultaneously: 6 pcs. • Recommended analysis time: up to 100 minutes, accelerated methods are provided for some products in accordance with the standards (time for analysis of 6 samples is indicated). • Power supply: 220 V, 50 Hz. • Electric power: 2,800 W • Overall dimensions: 670x450x670 mm. • Weight: 30 kg. The AKV-6 system is highly flexible in setting and operation, it allows to carry out measurements not only according to the applied method, but to automate crude fiber weighting in accordance with all applicable standards for various food and animal feed products.
