Rotary perforator

Systems

Overview

The basic principle of rotary perforators is the continuous evaporation of the solvent in a boiling flask. The solvent is then cooled down in a reflux condenser. The condensed solvent drops onto the extraction material. With the target substance loaded, the extract is redirected to the boiling flask for evaporation. To ensure an intensive contact and transfer between the phases, a continuously circulation of the solvent is necessary.

How does a rotary perforator work?

With the Pfaudler Systems design of the rotary perforator, manufactured according to Ludwig, an optimal exchange of material is obtained.

Inside the extraction vessel, a rotating distributor is driven with a magnetic coupling. The extracting agent, from the above installed cooler, is thrown – through centrifugal force from a distributor ring with small holes – in the form of droplets into the feed liquid.

Corrosion Resistant Materials
