Auger powder sampler for industrial quality control

Ensure precise quality control by integrating an auger powder sampler into your production line, allowing for consistent sampling of powders like protein and pharmaceutical excipients directly during processing.

Samples and Controls Powder Quality

The GEA Powder Sampler (PAS) is a versatile solution from GEA designed for precise powder sampling. This auger sampler integrates seamlessly with powder filling systems, enabling accurate sampling at the point of bagging under varying conditions. It efficiently collects representative samples of diverse powders like protein, infant formula, and pharmaceutical excipients for rigorous quality control. The system supports both manual and automatic operation, with options for twin or multi-station diverters to minimize operator intervention while maximizing sampling efficiency. Constructed from stainless steel AISI 304, it ensures durability and compliance with industry standards. The PAS is adaptable to different operational environments, offering flexibility in sample collection methods and maintaining product integrity across food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. With compatibility for both polyethylene bags and sample bottles, this sampler meets varied processing needs, ensuring contamination-free collection and easy integration into existing process lines.
