FIWE 6 is a crude fiber extractor, commonly known as non-digestible residue.

The determination of crude fiber is necessary for nutritional, economic and legal reasons. In the production of food and feed, fiber is used as a fairly cheap filler, reducing the overall cost of finished products. The content of fiber and other dietary fibers is included in the list of components subject to mandatory control.

The advantages of this FIWE 6 automatic extractor are:

  • high speed of analysis;
  • reliability and accuracy of results;
  • high reproducibility of results.

Areas of application for the FIWE extractor:

  • determination of crude fiber (Weende)
  • determination of alkaline or acid soluble fiber
  • determination of acid soluble lignin
  • determination of various fiber fractions

FIWE performs single or sequential extractions including boiling, washing and filtering.
