Cross Stream Sampler
How do you take representative samples of bulk material in a falling stream from a conveyor belt?
The Cross Stream Sampler provides a representative sampling of bulk material at the end of a conveyor belt.
A Cross Stream Sampler is an automated sampling method that collects representative samples from a flowing stream of bulk material, such as a conveyor belt, chute, or pipe. It operates by directing a portion of the material stream into a separate channel where a sample can be collected.
A cross stream sampler typically diverts a section of the material stream with a cutting blade or a gate, and then transports the sample away from the main flow for additional examination or processing.
Cross stream samplers are widely used in industries such as mining, agriculture, and manufacturing to ensure precise and representative samples of raw materials and finished products. They are especially beneficial for materials that are difficult to remove a sample from while in motion since they allow for continuous sampling without disrupting the material's flow.
