Bucket Sampler

The Bucket Sampler is designed to extract increments/cuts from a free-falling flow of bulk materials in a vertical duct. Representativity is ensured since a complete cross section of the material is collected.

Whether you need to collect samples of grains, seeds, powders, or other granular materials, our Bucket Sampler is the perfect sampling solution for you. The M&W Bucket Sampler is designed to make your sampling process quick, efficient, and hassle-free.

Variant 1 (standard): The Bucket Sampler Chain (BS-C) is delivered with a robust chain system. So, whether you are a farmer, a food processor, or a quality control specialist, our BS-C is the perfect tool for your sampling needs.

Variant 2: The Bucket Sampler Wire (BS-W) is delivered with a robust wire system. The BS-W is preferable for materials containing large amounts of dust or fine particles. The BS-W is well suited for biomass, limestone powders etc.

Bucket Sampler (BS)
• Fine particles are kept enclosed in the BS by a cover housing. This also avoids cross-contamination.
• The BS collects a full cross section of the material flow
• The BS is easy to install.
• If space is a constraint the BS is beneficial due to its compact design.

The Bucket Sampler has a bucket cutter connected to two parallel drivers (chain/wire), moving at a speed of up to 0.6 m/s. The sampler runs the cutter twice through the falling material, after which the sample is emptied through the outlet. Between sampling operations, the bucket is parked above the bottom outlet. An inspection hatch is placed on top of the sampler to facilitate maintenance and replacement of spare parts.
