DKL Automatic Kjeldahl Digestion Unit

DKL series of automatic digestion units is designed for Kjeldahl nitrogen and protein analysis, providing laboratories with high productivity and precision. These units are fully automated and ready to use, featuring an integrated aluminum heating block, automatic sample lift, suction hood, tube rack, and drip tray.

Available models:

  • DKL 8 – 8-tube capacity
  • DKL 12 – 12-tube capacity
  • DKL 20 – 20-tube capacity
  • DKL 42/26 – 42-tube capacity

DKL digesters provide fast and precise heating with homogeneous heat distribution. The aluminum heating block reaches 420°C in just 20 minutes, while microprocessor control ensures ± 0.5°C temperature accuracy.

With a library of 54 programs (30 pre-installed and 24 customizable), users can simply select a method, press START, and leave the instrument to complete the process unattended. The automatic lift system eliminates the need for manual handling of hot samples, enhancing safety and workflow efficiency.

The DKL 20 model also supports Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) analysis, allowing for simultaneous processing of up to 20 samples with an additional glassware support system.

Fully Automated Digestion for Maximum Efficiency

Limited bench space is a key factor in laboratory equipment selection. DKL digesters are designed to minimize footprint, allowing for:

  • Efficient instrument placement for optimized workflow
  • Fume hood compatibility with minimal space occupancy
  • Easy integration with gas neutralization systems, such as KS 1000 Scrubber

All models are easy to install, operate, and maintain, with minimal setup requirements.

Compact Design and Space Optimization

DKL digesters reduce resource consumption and improve laboratory efficiency through:

  • Rapid heating times, enabling shorter digestion cycles
  • Lower energy consumption with precise combustion control
  • Long-lasting consumables, minimizing maintenance frequency
  • Automated processes, reducing manual intervention and enhancing safety

The VELP Ermes cloud platform allows for remote monitoring, real-time diagnostics, and workflow optimization.
