Velp Scientific S30110430 – DK18/26 Digester System (115V/50-60Hz)

• 115 V / 50-60 Hz (Power: 1150 W)
• 18 positions for 100 ml test tubes, 26 mm diameter
• Aluminum heating block ensures high thermal homogeneity heating up to 450 C
• Average 13% lower consumption compared to the previous models
• Temperature range: Ambient to 450 C (842 F)

The DK Series consists of basic digestion blocks providing accuracy, high thermal homogeneity, and minimum energy consumption. The DK Series digesters consist of six models to suit any laboratory need for Kjeldahl digestion, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Heavy Metals Trace Determinations.

The DK 18/26 Series digestion unit with aluminum heating block ensures high thermal homogeneity heating up to 450 C. The temperature of the block is constantly controlled by a microprocessor and is extremely stable, homogeneous, and precise: ±0.5°C at all selectable temperatures.

The DK 18/26 Series guarantees accuracy and repeatability. The DK 18/26 performs batch digestion of up to 18 samples with 100 ml test tubes – Diameter – 26 mm, reducing the energy consumption (-13% compared to the previous series). Low energy consumption provides lower costs of analysis and limits CO2 release.

The design of the DK series has been carefully engineered to allow laboratories to save valuable space under the hood.

DK Digesters have very compact dimensions: the new aluminum heating block has been lowered and the vertical proportions allow to free precious space in the laboratory.

The structure is made of stainless steel that has been specifically designed and tested to ensure strong resistance to chemicals and mechanical stress.

The aluminum block protection grid provides enhanced heating performance and protects the heating block from splashes and chemicals.

The bright digital display provides maximum visibility and easy-to-read information.

The instrument is operated with 4 keys to navigate the menu options and program the digestions in a simple and fast way. 

Through the intuitive graphic display, it is possible to set up 20 methods with 4 temperature ramps. 

Acoustic signals inform the operator of the completion of the analysis facilitating the daily use of the digester.

The inclination of the front panel protects it from chemical spillage at high temperatures.

For applications where the digestion process produces fumes, acid gases, or corrosive substances, the below specific accessories are strongly recommended:

• JP Pump aspirates noxious fumes
• SMS Scrubber neutralizes all the fumes

The DKL series uses unique TEMS technology, which provides significant savings.

Time: fast heating to 420 °C in just 22 minutes, excellent reliability, homogeneity, and temperature accuracy.

Energy: reduced consumption by 35%, reduced CO2 emissions by reducing pollution.

Money: significant cost reduction for each analysis, increases the number of analyses without additional costs.

Space: the compact profile, minimum use on the bench for optimal laboratory management
