Sampler for free-flowing granular bulk materials

Efficient and precise sampling of granular bulk materials and coarse powders ensures consistent quality control by enabling accurate testing and monitoring, directly from your production line.

Samples Granular and Coarse Powder Materials

The GC Granucheck Sampler from Zeppelin Systems enables reliable sampling of granular and coarse powder materials, essential for quality control in the rubber, tire, food, plastics, and chemical industries. It operates on both continuous and non-continuous modes, using an electro-pneumatic drive for precise and consistent sample collection under normal atmospheric conditions or in overpressure up to 1 bar (g). The sampler’s robust design includes stainless steel construction for parts in contact with bulk materials, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. Designed for integration into existing production lines, it features direct installation with pre-piped and pre-wired systems for seamless connectivity. The sampler’s durability is enhanced by proximity sensors for piston position monitoring and a flush probe design to prevent bulk material deposition. Compliance with the Machinery Directive and ATEX standards assures adherence to safety and operational regulations, making it a reliable choice for laboratories and processing departments.
