Introduction
Many operations require that periodic
samples of the powders being processed, be taken and
evaluated in the laboratory for various aspects of quality.
Obtaining these samples can introduce a few challenges
to the operating personnel:
 |
The source that the sample must be taken from is not always in a convenient or safe location.
|
|
Manual sampling can be dirty and dusty or even dangerous.
|
|
Traditional "automatic samplers" with few moving parts, are only reliable with free flowing products. Others incorporate motor driven augers to extract the sample and are maintenance prone.
|
|
Most samplers protrude into the flow of product, even when not in use, making them far less sanitary and hard to clean.
