Air slide sampler

Operating Behavior & Mechanical Characteristics

Air slide sampler rank amongst those samplers that remove a selective sample from the material flow of an air slide conveyor system. To be able to secure sufficient representativeness, the product flows to be sampled must be homogeneous in terms of the conveyor width. Sampling is carried out by a sample collecting pipe protruding in the material flow that is provided with openings. Normally, these openings are turned in the direction of conveyance and close against a sealing gasket. At the time of sampling, the sample collecting pipe with its openings is turned against the direction of conveyance, so that sampling material can flow in. The sample material thus entered is discharged downwards through the air slide conveyor system by means of the sample collecting pipe.
