Powder sampling solution for dairy and food processors
Ensure precise quality control with a versatile sampling system designed for effortless integration into your powder processing lines, ensuring consistent and representative samples without manual intervention.

Ensures Precise and Hygienic Powder Sampling
The GEA Powder Spool Sampler is a robust, hygienic solution designed specifically for dairy and food processors requiring reliable sampling of powder products. Its pneumatic operation makes it ideal for environments with a risk of explosive conditions, while the simple design ensures easy maintenance and safe handling. This sampler is versatile, fitting seamlessly into existing systems with weld-in-place or tri-clover clamp fixes, and is fully compatible with existing GEA auger samplers for interchangeability.
The Powder Spool Sampler excels in collecting consistent, fixed-volume samples across various points of the powder manufacturing process, crucial for controlling product quality, from milk powder and whey protein to baking mixes and spices. With integration options for remote control or automated PLC operation, it reduces manual involvement, ensuring sample integrity with minimal contamination risk. Cleaning is straightforward, aided by metal-detectable components and a closed-loop collection system. Suitable for dairy, food, and beverage industries, the sampler supports stringent quality control and monitoring, enhancing the efficiency of powder handling and processing operations.
