Manual sampling of bulk material from road tankers before either rear tipping or pneumatic discharge into storage bins or silos is very difficult. This is due to the compressed nature of the product caused by movement during transit. As penetration of the product is very difficult, the operator is forced to take the sample from the surface of the material or from the product flow. In the case of surface sampling the end result is not representative.
When sampling from the material flow in either the pneumatic transfer or tipping modes, it is already too late to verify the quality of the product.
The Bulk Sampler has been developed to take a representative sample from settled product in a road tanker at a depth up to two metres, quickly and easily with the 3D screw blades loosening the product as the sampler head penetrates the product.
