Fibertec™ 8000

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Fibertec™ 8000 is a fully automated system designed for the determination of crude fibre and detergent fibre using standard reference methods such as Weende and van Soest. It automates the process, allowing for unattended operation once samples are loaded.
Sample Parameters: The system is suitable for analyzing raw materials and finished products in feed and agriculture, specifically measuring crude fibre (CF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), amylase treated neutral detergent (aNDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), and acid detergent lignin (ADL).
Automation and Efficiency: The Fibertec™ 8000 minimizes operator time by automating heating, reagent dispensing, and rinsing processes. It can handle up to six samples simultaneously and can operate overnight, freeing lab resources for other tasks.
Accuracy and Safety: The system provides results with high accuracy, adhering to ISO, AOAC, and other official methods. It ensures safety by automating reagent dispensing, reducing chemical exposure, and preventing spillage through automatic heat reduction.
Technical Specifications: The system can process sample sizes from 0.5 to 3 grams, with a measuring range of 0.1% to 100%. It can perform up to 36 analyses per day using the crude fibre method and up to 60 with a modified procedure. The system includes both hot and cold extraction units and various accessories for different porosity levels.
Maintenance and Support: FOSS offers a FossCare™ Support Agreement, providing extended warranties, regular maintenance, and 24/7 support to ensure optimal performance and minimize downtime.
Installation Requirements: The Fibertec™ 8000 requires a power supply of 200-240V and a water supply of at least 2 L/min. The cold extraction unit must be placed in a fume hood with adequate airflow.
