TEMS™ technology

DKL Digesters Series works with the innovative TEMS™ benefits, the core technology that enables you huge saving in time, energy, money and space. Thanks to our constant research and development we reached great results.

Time Saving: from Ambient to 420 °C in only 22 minutes, with fast programming
Energy Saving: - 35% of consumption, cutting CO2 emission
Money Saving: huge cost reduction for each analysis
Space Saving: reduce unnecessary use of space

DKL reduces manual operations, guaranteeing reliability, repeatability, durability and huge savings.

Energy Saving as much as 35%

Look at the significant amount of Energy that you can save with a DKL compared to a conventional digester. DKL Series reduces dramatically consumption and CO2 emission. In a world where respect for the environment is increasingly important, VELP shows exceptional qualities, providing a significant contribution to this topic cutting any form of pollution.
Think about how you can use this saving: performing more analyses to improve your throughput, using other instruments to increase your business, or whatever you want..without additional costs!

Time Saving with faster heating

Incredible Time reduction during the heating phase as shown in the graph, dramatically cutting down on wasted time. All the advantages of a rapid heating with the well-known benefits of the block digesters: as the excellent reliability, the important homogeneity, the high precision and the possibility to determine the real temperature of digestion (in accordance with GLP). Increasing the heating speed, you’ll get to the results earlier.

Space Saving thanks to a narrow footprint

Everybody knows that there is never enough bench space in a laboratory, this is why we have made the DKL series as compact as possible. The narrow footprint enables you to optimize bench space according to need; fit more instruments on the same lab bench or make different use of the extra space available.

Clear communication at a glance

Enjoy the simplicity of the DKL’s display. Extremely bright, easy to read and practical with all the most important parameters available at a single glance. Current temperature and ramp settings are clearly viewed on the display. In this way the user can monitor every stage of analysis as well as selecting options such as language (including ideograms). Improved communication leads to improved efficiency!

Kjeldahl Analysis

The goal of the digestion step is to break down the bonds that hold the polypeptides together and convert them into simpler molecules (such as water, carbon dioxide and ammonia). These reactions can be speeded up by the temperature used during digestion (the higher the temperature used, the faster the digestion can be obtained) and by the presence of acid, salt and catalysts.
The Kjeldahl method is used in many industries for determining nitrogen and protein contents in food&feed, beverages, for COD and TKN in environment and for other determination as the organic nitrogen in chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
