Fibertec 8000 is a fully automated system for determination of crude fibre, detergent fibre and related parameters according to standard reference ‘crucible’ methods such as Weende, van Soest etc.
The lowest operator time of any fibre solution
Unattended measurement of up to six samples releases staff to do other things. On board heating and automatic dispensing of all reagents, antifoam and rinsing with water saves time and prevents the risk of human error.
Official reference method results with unrivalled accuracy
No sample transfer or risk of error as sample residue remains in the crucible throughout the procedure. Discrete analysis of each sample according to official methods ensures reliable reference results, while consistent heating rate and time to boiling ensures repeatability.
Safest fibre analysis solution available
Ensure safety with automatic functions such as dispensing of reagents to prevent contact with chemicals and fumes, heat reduction at boiling point to prevent spillage and addition of enzymes and anti-foam when required.
