BENEFITS
The automatic Kjeldahl distillation unit UDK 149 operates automatically, after setting on the multi-function 3.5” color touch screen water, boric acid and sodium hydroxide addition, distillation time and the steam generation output level between 10 and 100%.
Different automatic titrator models can be connected to the automatic distillation unit UDK 149 for direct output of the final result and offering choice and versatility to the user. The high-precision pumpsensure constant accurate dosing of reagents. All the parameters concerning distillation and titration phases are easily programmable.
 TEMS™ Technology
UDK Kjeldahl distillation units work with the innovative TEMS™ benefits, for huge savings.
Time Saving – Fast and frequent analyses; no heating delay between runs

Energy Saving – Cooling water consumption starting from only 0.5 l/min; excellent insulation

Money Saving – Cost reduction is substantial, in line with reduced power consumption

Space Saving – The extremely compact footprint saves useful laboratory bench space

 Exclusive Titanium Condenser
VELP Scientifica has developed and patented the innovative titanium condenser able to ensure high performance and considerable water savings (from 0.5 l/min).

The graph shows the high efficiency of the titanium condenser compared to the traditional glass one available on the market. The titanium condenser ensures that distillate temperature always remains below the safe threshold value (35 °C), as indicated in the Kjeldahl method.

 Patented Steam Generator
The patented steam generator used by UDK Kjeldahl Distillation Units offers unique performance, being a patented solution
Rapid (p)re-heating time

Total safety: no internal pressure

Low thermal dispersion

Great repeatability

High performance and resistance

Maintenance-free

Safety-thermostat

Works with deionized water

Maximum Safety Standard

UDK 149, the automatic Kjeldahl distillation unit, ensures high safety standards because of the several safety features
1. Steam Generator without Pressure

2. Lever with Sensor

3. Protective Door with Sensor

4. Cooling Water Flow-Rate Detector

5. Test Tube Sensor

6. Drip Tray

7. Service Door

(+ Electrical Shutdown)

8. Colored Inlet Reagent Tubes

9. Visual Reagent Level Warning
 Multitasking Software

Improved communication leads to improved efficiency.
Easy to read and practical with all the most important parameters available at a single glance, the multitasking software enables the operator to set all the parameters for a fully automatic distillation and titration processes.
Excellent usability

Multitasking software on a bright screen

Flexible, versatile and multi-language

Intuitive data entry and programming, very easy to upgrade

Unlimited library with all the analyses performed

Data export in .xls, .txt, .csv (according to LIMS) also on USB key

Direct access to the archive from remote PC in real time without any download
Maximum Flexibility

The automatic Kjeldahl distillation unit UDK 149 can be connected to several models of external potentiometric titrators.

It enables the final result to be obtained directly, as it can easily be connected to different automatic titrator models. All the parameters of distillation and titration phases are stored in the method with the advantage of time saving.
