Vacuum powder sampler for particle size distribution control
Ensure precise quality control with a vacuum powder sampler designed to deliver representative samples crucial for accurate particle size distribution analysis, mitigating production losses and enhancing process efficiency.
Efficiently Samples Powders for Quality Analysis
The GEA Vacuum Powder Sampler is a pivotal solution for accurate particle size distribution analysis in powder processing. This system operates on dynamic sampling principles, removing samples from moving powder bulks to ensure they are truly representative of the entire batch. Ideal for use in the food, dairy, and nutraceutical sectors, it is tailored for applications ranging from milk and yogurt powders to protein shakes and baking ingredients. The sampler is designed to handle a range of powder types, integrating seamlessly into existing systems with options for both fully integrated and stand-alone operation. Controlled via PLC, the sampler offers remote sampling location flexibility, including different floor levels if necessary. Its simplicity in operation—featuring straightforward push-button controls and a touch-panel interface—ensures ease of use. Constructed with robustness in mind, it supports plant efficiency by minimizing sampling errors, thereby reducing waste and ensuring consistent quality control. Custom configurations are offered to suit specific needs, backed by comprehensive engineering support.
