Samplers

SGS uses proven designs for mechanical sampling equipment. We provide you with a unique solution to your specific bulk cargo handling needs.

Our mechanical sampling systems (MSS) are well-engineered, cost-effective, low maintenance and comply with all relevant sampling standards. Contact us for full details, specifications and options for our complete line of MSS equipment including:

Cross Belt Sampler

• Suitable for installation on most conveyors 
• Minimum disturbance of conveyed material 
• Belt swept clean of fine material  
• Suitable for a wide range of particle sizes and conveyor capacities 
• Constant cutter velocity while passing through material stream
• Minimizes spillage

Oscillating Chute Sampler

• Adjustable sampling frequency for intermittent operation
• May be designed for a wide range of particle sizes
• May be installed at the head end of a belt feeder, in a vertical section of chute or immediately below a suitable crusher

Cross Bucket Sampler

• May be installed at the head end of a conveyor with insufficient height for a chute-type sampler 
• May be designed to transfer samples horizontally for some distance
• Suitable for abrasive materials and time or mass-based sampling
• May be designed for a wide range of particle sizes
• Suitable for most head chutes that include a deflector plate

Swing Arm Sampler

• Suitable for high capacity conveyors and applications with restricted height
• Suitable for sticky materials 
• Reduced installation time and no need for modifications of existing head chute
• Suitable for time or mass based sampling
• Constant cutter velocity during sampling

Pivoting Reverse Spoon Sampler

• May be installed at the head end of a conveyor
• Well suited for abrasive or sticky materials and time or mass-based sampling
• Ideal for chutes that include a deflector plate and high capacity conveyors and large increment masses
• May be designed for a wide range of particle sizes

Linear Diverter Chute Sampler

• May be installed at the head-end of a conveyor or in a suitable vertical section of chute
• Well suited for abrasive and sticky materials
• Suitable for time or mass based sampling
• May be designed for a wide range of particle sizes
• Suitable for most head chutes that include a deflector plate

Cross Belt Secondary/Tertiary Sampler

• Suitable for secondary, tertiary and physical sampling
• Minimum disturbance of conveyed material
• Belt swept clean of fine material due to scrapers and contoured belt
• Suitable for a range of particle sizes up to 75 mm
• Constant cutter velocity while passing through the material stream

Slotted Belt Sampler

• Sample cutter and rejects transfer on conveyor in one unit
• Sample increments report directly to the storage canister
• Minimum air circulation around the sample canister
• Cutter lips kept clear by rotary cleaning brush
• Indexing rotary sample collector may be built into the sampler thus avoiding blockage of transfer chutes

Vezin Rotary Sampler

• May be installed in a suitable vertical section of chute or pipe
• Un-sampled material (rejects) pass vertically through the sampler
• Risk of blockages minimized
• Fully enclosed thus preventing sample loss or contamination

Rotary Sample Collector

• Sample integrity ensured by fully enclosed body
• Automatic canister indexing function
• Heavy duty plastic, stainless steel or galvanized steel sample canisters available
• Designed for 4 to 12 canisters with 20 to 200 liter capacity
• Operator safety ensured by door safety interlock on sample canister access door
• Canisters positively located on a turntable

Reliable, well-designed mechanical samplers are one of many services provided by SGS, a trusted name in mechanical sampling.
