The Super-FRS is a two-stage fragment separator that consists of a pre-separator and a main separator. Both separator stages use the Bρ-ΔE-Bρ method, in which the analysis of the magnetic rigidity (Bρ) is combined with the energy loss in a specially shaped degrader (ΔE). The main separator has three possible exits, to the ring branch (RB), to the high-energy branch (HEB) and to the low-energy branch (LEB), to which a dedicated magnetic-spectrometer/energy-buncher-system is connected. The Super-FRS is characterized by a large phase-space acceptance, which is made possible by the use of superconducting magnet technology.

The high radiation exposure in the target area requires a special design. In the highly shielded area are located both the high-performance production target and the beam-catcher systems. The latter gets rid of the primary beam that did not react in the production target. The components in target area must be handled remotely. The maintenance work is carried out in a hot cell complex that is integrated in the Super-FRS target building.

Dedicated detector systems allow a complete identification of the fragments and provide this information on an event-by-event basis to the integrated experiments.
