Bel-Art Table Top Büchner Funnel 18"

The Bel-Art Table Top Büchner Funnel 18 is designed to filter large volumes quickly and efficiently. Made from durable polyethylene plastic, this funnel is compatible with either Fritware® or Perforated filter plates, providing versatility for different filtration needs. The removable hose barbed connector is designed to fit a 12.7mm (½") I.D. tube, threading securely into the ¾" NPT bung on the funnel. The Fritware® Porous Filter Plates are supported by a robust multiple ring grid. Made from HDPE and measuring 6.4mm (¼") in thickness, these plates feature a non-porous ring at the periphery to ensure a tight seal when used with filter paper. Two porosity options are available: medium (45-90 microns) and coarse (90-130 microns), catering to a variety of filtration requirements. The plates operate efficiently within a temperature range from -80ºC (-112ºF) to 52ºC (125ºF). For those requiring a different filtration method, the Perforated Filter Plates, crafted from 4.8mm thick HDPE, offer flexibility with a choice between fixed and removable configurations. These plates feature perforations of 4.8mm on 11mm centers, suitable for coarse filtration or use with a filter cloth or paper. Their removable option can be particularly valuable in processes such as precious metals recovery. Furthermore, the Bel-Art Table Top Büchner Funnel 18 is complemented by the F36820-0118 Funnel Trowel, a tool designed to smooth fissures during filtration, enhancing the process's efficiency and effectiveness. This comprehensive setup makes it an invaluable tool for laboratories and industrial applications looking for reliable filtration solutions. FAQ Q: What materials are used in the construction of the funnel? A: The funnel is made of polyethylene, and the filter plates are made of HDPE. Q: How do I select between Fritware® and Perforated plates? A: Choose Fritware® for more precise filtering needs and Perforated plates for coarser applications or metals recovery processes.
