Maximum safety for your laboratory

Maximum safety for your laboratory

The KS 1000 Scrubber is engineered to safeguard the laboratory environment and the health of the operators by eliminating exposure to harmful acid fumes produced during the Kjeldahl digestion or other processes. 

The KS 1000 Scrubber effectively neutralizes corrosive and toxic gases in 2 steps:
  • Dilution: in the right tank, reaction gases flow into a water solution, where they are effectively dissolved. This step allows for trapping even part of the sulfur dioxide produced during digestion.
  • Neutralization: in the left glass tank, reaction gases are neutralized in a sodium hydroxide solution. Thanks to a wide contact surface between gas and liquid, the KS 1000 Scrubber achieves maximum neutralization efficiency.
In specific applications, an optional activated carbon filter can be used to absorb odors produced during oxidative mineralization.
Space saving and ease-of-use

Space saving and ease-of-use

Optimizing the workspace in the laboratory is crucial. The KS 1000 Scrubber perfectly complements VELP's compact semi-automatic and automatic digesters, fitting seamlessly into the fume hood for an optimized working environment.

The KS 1000 Scrubber is compatible with both the DK Series and the DKL Series of Kjeldahl digestion units.

An intuitive user interface, conveniently placed on top of the instrument, simplifies operations. With 4 adjustable suction power levels, laboratory operators have control over their specific requirements.
High resistance, no connection to tap water

High resistance, no connection to tap water

The KS 1000 Scrubber does not require any tap water connection, freeing laboratories from water supply dependencies and potential pressure fluctuations.

Carefully selected materials ensure durability even in the most demanding conditions and reduce maintenance costs. Tanks made of glass and connection tubes constructed with Viton offer superior performance and increased resistance. The eight punctured discs contribute significantly to achieving maximum neutralization efficiency.

The innovative design allows for easy access to all components, facilitating quick and effortless cleaning and maintenance.

FAQ
Check technical sheets with answers to most frequently asked questions
How should the suction power level of the KS 1000 Scrubber be adjusted throughout the digestion process?
As most analytical processes generate many fumes at the beginning, it is advisable to set a high aspiration capacity in the first phase of the digestion (flow level set at 100%).

Following the gradual reduction of fumes, the suction power can be decreased (flow level set at 75%).

Once the mineralization is finished, the KS 1000 Scrubber should be kept on for 10-15 more minutes to remove potential residual fumes (flow level set at 50-25%).
How to perform optimal maintenance on the KS 1000 Scrubber?
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the long-term efficiency and reliability of your KS 1000 Scrubber.
