Powder sampler systems for food and dairy plants
Ensure precise quality control by implementing advanced sampling techniques for powders and granules, enhancing both batch and continuous production lines.

Captures and Diverts Powder and Granule Samples
Powder Process-Solutions offers a versatile range of sampling equipment designed to meet the demanding needs of food, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries. The Vacuum Sampler, Auger Sampler, and Plunger Sampler effectively capture and convey precise samples from powder and granule streams, ensuring process conformity and contamination minimization. The Vacuum Sampler uses a programmable PLC/HMI to control sample size and frequency within a sealed environment, suitable for both batch and composite samples. Its automatic purging system and diverter options make it ideal for complex sampling regimens. The Auger Sampler, featuring a mini screw auger and variable speed control, excels in extracting samples from gravity chutes and hoppers. The Plunger Sampler, driven by an air cylinder, accurately retrieves fixed sample volumes from free-flowing materials. Designed for easy integration into existing processing lines, each sampler offers options for automatic or manual operation, with flexible container capabilities catering to diverse testing needs. Compliance with industry standards and customizable sampling configurations ensure these solutions can be tailored to specific production requirements.
