Particle Sampler









The Particle Sampler (PS) is a fully automated sampling system engineered to collect representative increments of dust or powder from pneumatic conveying pipelines. Ideal for continuous monitoring, the PS ensures accurate sampling over a defined period, capturing the average material characteristics for reliable analysis.
Once the pre-set number of increments is collected, the sample bottle located beneath the PS is removed and sent to a laboratory for detailed testing.
Widely adopted across various industries, the Particle Sampler is especially prevalent in power plants for the collection of fly ash. It can be seamlessly integrated into ash transport pipelines or connected to pneumatic blow units, ensuring efficient and consistent sample collection.
The Particle Sampler (PS) is a high-performance, fully automatic system designed for sampling dust and powder particles in industrial environments. It enables precise and consistent sample collection, supporting quality control and process optimization.
- Fully Automated Operation: The PS performs unattended sampling, ensuring reliable and repeatable results.
- Flexible Control Options: Operators can manage the system via a man-machine interface (MMI) or remotely from a central control room, offering seamless integration into existing plant operations.
- Optimized Combustion Monitoring: In fly ash analysis, the PS provides critical data on unburnt carbon (UBC) levels. This information helps operators fine-tune the combustion process, improving fly ash quality and overall plant efficiency.
The PS is ideal for industries such as power generation, cement production, and bulk material handling, where accurate material sampling is essential.
The Particle Sampler (PS) features a pitot-style inlet positioned along the central axis, enabling it to collect samples across a half-diameter linear transect of the material flow.
It performs multi-incremental sampling over a fixed time period to ensure that the final composite sample reflects average material properties.
The PS is composed of two main components: (1) a mechanical sampler and (2) an electric/pneumatic control unit. To prevent condensation and blockages, both the purging air and sample container are heated.
The control box includes manual switches, a PLC, and a touchscreen panel for setting sampling cycles and the number of increments per sample.
