Auto-sampler Intersystems

The In-Line Automatic Sampler

A Primary Cross-Cut Sampler is most often installed in place of a section of spouting and can be either a 90 or 45 degree model. As material flows through the sampler, a "pelican" type diverter, with an opening in the leading edge, traverses the stream and extracts a representative sample. The "pelican" remains in the rest position, under a seal and OUT OF THE MATERIAL STREAM, until an automatic/manual signal is given to collect another sample. Frequency of travel is controlled by a timer in the control panel.

Sample Divider

A Mechanical Divider receives the "sample" by gravity from the primary sampler. Then it passes through a continuously oscillating swing valve that reduces the "sample" and distributes it into a 1, 2, or 3 sample adapter. Dividers are manufactured in four models--MD 100, MD 200, MD 300, and the MD 1000, and use is determined by the flow rate, installation, and frequency of the samples. Excess sample is returned to the material stream.

Automatic Controls - Sealed and Locked

A Control Panel controls the operation of the primary sampler and mechanical divider. A digital integral timer is used to control the frequency of travel of the "pelican." Panels can be built for individual control or for control of multiple sampling systems.

Collection Systems

Collection cabinets come in a totally enclosed, sealed bagging unit, an enclosed hopper cabinet, or a sealed automatic indexing jar sample collection system.
