Behr Labor Technik CF6 Semi-Automatic Crude Fiber (Cellulose) Extraction Unit

The Behr Labor Technik CF6 is a semi-automatic extraction unit designed for determining crude fiber (cellulose) content in feed analysis. Crude fiber determination is a fundamental component of classical Weende feed analysis and is based on processing the sample with acid/alkali dilutions, filtration through sintered glass filters, washing, drying, and ignition at 475–500°C.

The unit combines boiling, rinsing, and filtration steps in a single apparatus, thereby reducing analysis time and preventing sample loss. On-screen guidance directs users through the procedure; Behr's ABP (approval-before-proceeding) method enhances analytical reliability. Air and suction pumps can also be operated manually. The practical sample rack for filter crucibles prevents sample loss and the same crucibles are compatible with Behr's behrotest® DG 2+2 / DG 6 cold extraction units.

The unit operates in compliance with international standards such as ISO 6865:2000, ISO 5498:2000 (AOAC 962.09), and AACC 32-10.01. It delivers reliable and reproducible results for feed laboratories, agricultural R&D departments, and quality control laboratories.
