It can be used without a power supply, is easy to operate and is easy to clean.

• Low-wear and low-maintenance design
• Can be used locally and in the laboratory
• Independent of electrical energy
• Wide choice of sizes to suit your application

This splitter is suitable for simple, rapid separation of freely flowing powders and pellets into 8 sample collectors. The outlets from the feed container can be sealed with a lever to allow the material to be filled, mixed and subsequently separated.

• Low-wear and low-maintenance design
• Simple, fast separation on 8 samples
• Automatic separation without loss of material

This fully automatic system can determine the moisture content of bulk-material samples of up to 6 kg in weight. For this purpose, the AMAS can be integrated in an automatic sampling unit, thereby allowing the analysis to be carried out immediately after the sample has been taken from the material.

The AMAS process begins with the filling of the drying dish with the moist sample of bulk material. This is then spread evenly over the dish and weighed.

After a certain period of time for drying, the dish is removed from the oven, weighed, and then replaced in the oven.
This last step is repeated until the material is completely dry and the results of two successive weighing operations are identical. The dish is then emptied and cleaned to receive the next sample. The illustration shows the AMAS with an eccentric vibration-grinding mill for reducing the sample to fine particles in readiness for subsequent material analysis.

With the fully automatic milling and pressing system, bulk material samples can be transferred into test specimens for an XRF or XRD analyser.

We can offer you a complete solution from the sampling plant and pneumatic tube system right up to automatic sample preparation, including all the machinery and equipment needed.

Should samples be collected only at protracted time intervals, we offer the possibility of keeping them in so-called sample collectors of the most varying sizes until they are collected.
The sample bottles are placed in a roundabout and are turned to the next empty bottle when filled.
In the extensive range, you will find machinery and devices for transporting the samples, such as space-saving and encapsulated special belts, for screen analysis, drum tests, and further laboratory instruments for preparing the obtained samples for analysis.

• Large selection of sizes
• Compact dimensions
• Can be optimally integrated in existing production processes
• Collects samples up until they are collected
• Low-wear and low-maintenance design

With the rotary pipe divider, the uniformly added material stream is distributed into a funnel-shaped cone via a sloped rotating pipe.
The cone has recesses in the divider circle. The product passing through this recess is designated the “sample”, the material collected via the funnel the “rejects”.
The openings for the sample can be closed by means of a slide plate, resulting in a variably adjustable dividing ratio.
The rotary pipe divider can be implemented for easily pourable material not tending to plug. This divider can be cleaned through large inspection openings

• Variably adjustable dividing ratio
• Low-wear and low-maintenance design
• Designed with increased accessibility, so minimum cleaning time

The rotary divider has a vertically appointed disk provided with openings which is rotated by a motor.

The sample material is uniformly fed to the divider via a dosage unit and guided onto the rotating disk. It passes through the opening in the disk as a “sample” or is deflected by the disk as a “reject”.

The dividing ratio (1:2 up to 1:130 depending on the type concerned) in this divider can no longer be varied after production due to the simple design.

The divider is used for dividing dosable, pourable and hardly caking materials.

• Low-wear and low-maintenance design

The turnstile divider is a divider that, with slight modifications, can be used for practically all products from cokes in lumps, plugged fine coal right up to super-fine-milled quick lime. The sampled material can be transferred to the divider’s charging area without prior dosing, since it is thoroughly mixed and dosed prior to the dividing stage proper by the inwardly-directed raking arm.

Advantages

• Very reliable operation even with wet and sticky products
• Low-wear and low-maintenance design
• Designed for increased accessibility, so minimum cleaning time
• Variably adjustable dividing ratio
• By arranging two dividers one behind the other dividing ratios of well over 1:1000 can be achieved.

The TR500 sample dryer is used for the chargewise drying of wet bulk materials. Drying of the wet bulk material is done by means of a heating plate that is made to shake by an unbalance motor. The arrangement of the unbalance motor causes the material to be continuously turned over throughout the drying process and so repeatedly presented to the hot plate. Heat is fed to the hot plate by means of thermal oil that is heated up by means of a temperature control unit with a heat range of between 50 °C and 180 °C.

The material to be dried is fed onto the middle of the shaking, heated dryer and spread over the heating plate. The dryer is emptied by changing the direction in which the unbalance motor is rotating, so changing the shaking movement and enabling the dried bulk material to be removed.

This slotted-vessel sampler is used for taking samples of slurry at free pipe, chute or sump outlets. This sampling principle is based on a slotted vessel that has a specified inlet gap set perpendicular to the inflow of material and can cover the full thickness of the slurry flow at a constant speed.

The slotted-vessel sampler moves from one of its stand-by positions, through the suspension flow and stops in the opposite position. As the sampler moves through the product flow at a constant speed, a representative sample is taken. The sample taken is diverted away and taken up in a trough. The sampler’s stand-by position is outside the slurry flow.

• Sampling from material flow
• Wear- and maintenance-free design

The hammer sampler is implemented for sampling materials from belt conveyors. The hammer sampler guides this sampling frame, which is closed on one side, in a circular movement through the material stream as it moves along the belt. In doing so it automatically removes from the belt a representative cross-sectional sample corresponding to that of the sampling frame.

Advantages

• A simple, low-maintenance and very operationally reliable construction
• Reliable removal of the fine contents from the belt bottom by the integrated brush and scraper
• No conversion from 3-piece to 5-piece roller stand necessary
• Hardly any expenditure for changes to existing belt installations for retrofitting

The screw sampler belongs to the samplers that remove a selective sample from the material flow. To be able to secure sufficient representativeness, the product flows to be sampled must be homogeneous in terms of the different grain sizes. Sampling is carried out by means of a sample collecting pipe protruding in the material flow.

This sample collecting pipe is provided with openings, into which the material can drop permanently. At the time of sampling, the screw-conveyor first of all empties the sample collecting pipe in the direction of the material flow. After a defined emptying time, the screw reverses and

conveys the sample material dropped into the sample collecting pipe to a pipe socket outside the principal pipe.

• Low-wear and low-maintenance design

Together with the piston sampler, the clinker sampler ranks amongst those samplers removing a selective sample from the material flow. For this purpose, a sampling spoon, which is filled with sample material over a defined period of time, is run into the product flow pneumatically. When the sampling spoon is drawn back, it is removed inside the sampler housing by a piston and the material sample pre-classified over a rigid sieve grid. The fine material thus obtained can be taken over for further analysis at a pipe socket. The coarse parts are taken over at a further pipe socket and fed to the principal material flow again.

The piston sampler ranks amongst those samplers which remove a selective sample from the material flow. To be able to secure sufficient representativeness, the product flows to be sampled must be homogeneous in terms of the various grain sizes. Sampling is carried out by means of a sample collecting pipe protruding in the material flow. This sample collecting pipe is provided with an opening, into which the material can drop permanently. At the time of sampling, a pneumatically actuated piston is pressed from the waiting position in the direction of the material flow by the sample collecting pipe. The sample collecting pipe is emptied over the material flow to then, on the return, take along the sample material just dropped in. The sample material can be taken over at a pipe socket outside the main pipe.

Representative sampling is carried out by a slotted vessel that is guided by a pneumatic linear drive via a rod at constant speed through the complete chute cross-section. The multiple sealing of the rod bushing and the enclosure of the drive mean that the drive is not directly exposed to the product and thus remains practically free of wear. The passage speed of the spoon can be adapted to individual requirements by adjustable valves on the drive.

After the passage of the spoon, the sampling spoon is turned through the product flow via the sample discharge chute and thus emptied. The rotary movement is initiated mechanically by means of adjustable stops and therefore does not require any further drive.

Positioning the spoon in the filling position that occurs outside the product flow is only carried out after again crossing the product flow in the opposite direction. In this waiting position, the sampler is not exposed to the product flow and is thus not subjected to any wear.

• Low-wear and low-maintenance design

Representative sampling is carried out by a slotted vessel that is swivelled through the material flow in a circular movement at a constant speed. While the slotted vessel is rotated through the material flow, a sample is removed from the material flow and collected in the slotted vessel. This sample is subsequently emptied by the movable base over the sample discharge chute. After being completely emptied, the slotted vessel swivels back into the waiting position. With this sampler as well, the waiting position lies outside the principle material flow to protect the slotted vessel from wear.

The swivel movement of the slotted vessel can be executed both via a pneumatic cylinder as well as via a three-phase motor.

Representative sampling is carried out by a sample chute that is guided in a circular movement through the material flow at a constant speed. While the sample chute is rotated through the material flow, a partial material flow is continuously separated and led off. The thus obtained sample material is collected via a pipe socket and further processed. While the waiting position of the sample chute between two samplings is inside the material space, it is, however, outside the principle product flow, so that direct contact between the sample chute and material flow is prevented and wear on the sample chute reduced.

The sample chute can be powered both by a geared motor as well as via a pneumatic cylinder.
