The F-500 with 500 ml extractor column offers compact design and stands out with easy sample loading, unloading, and cleaning features. It performs extraction in continuous dynamic CO2 flow mode with parameters adjustable from a touchscreen interface. Extracts directly into Falcon tubes with secondary Falcon separator liquid trapping feature.

The CO2 flow rate is precisely controlled by automatic back pressure regulators, reducing potential for operator error. Mass flow rate is monitored by installing the optional Coriolis mass flow meter.
| PLC | The system control panel is used to set and monitor all process conditions of pressure, temperature, solvent and co-solvent supply, pressure reduction and CO2 recycling. The software fully automates the extraction process (including static and dynamic extraction modes) and includes exhaustive routines for emergency shutdown. |
| Saving process parameters | Up to 50 sets of process parameters may be saved into the system memory for rapid reloading. |
| Maximum co-solvent flow rate | 30 ± 5 mL/min |
| Pump type | Booster with a maximum working pressure of 360 bar (optionally 720 bar) |
Time-programmable sudden pressure drop during extraction facilitates expansion of CO2 that has penetrated the cells of the raw material. This rapid expansion ruptures cell walls and increases both the recovery of extract as well as the extraction rate.
Potential hazards caused by dangerous increases in pressure, temperature, and/or wear of sealing elements are completely prevented by software using a system of instrumentation and safety valves installed on each high-pressure element. In case of danger, the installation goes into emergency mode and all systems can be turned off using the emergency shutdown button.
The system is fully certified under Directive 2006/42/EC and possesses the Conformité Européenne (CE) marking.
Compact benchtop laboratory footprint. Installation and training of equipment operators (1 main operator and 1 supporting personnel) may take place at the production site or other location.
