Sample Magazine

The Sample Magazine (SM) is a compact, automated system designed to efficiently fill sample buckets with bulk materials after the sampling process is complete. Ideal for mining, industrial, and laboratory environments, the SM streamlines sample handling and improves operational efficiency.

Engineered to prevent cross-contamination and minimize moisture loss, the SM ensures the integrity and reliability of collected samples. Its multi-bucket configuration also serves as a built-in sample storage system, reducing manual intervention and downtime.

For operations requiring greater capacity, the Sample Magazine – Long (SM-L) offers an expanded solution with enhanced storage and customization options.

• Multi-bucket configuration enables continuous sample collection without the need for immediate manual bucket replacement, reducing labour costs and improving efficiency.
• The Sample Magazine (SM) offers a compact design compared to the larger SM-L model, making it ideal for operations with limited space or lower sample volume requirements.
• Sealed system design ensures complete protection against moisture loss and cross-contamination, preserving sample quality.
• Features a safety-interlocked access door that automatically deactivates the turntable during bucket removal, ensuring safe and compliant operation.

The Sample Magazine is a compact, automated system designed to streamline bulk material sampling. It features a rotating turntable that holds multiple removable sample buckets. Sample material enters through a top-mounted inlet and is directed into a designated bucket. To prevent spillage, each bucket is automatically lifted to form a tight seal between the bucket rim and the inlet before filling begins.

Once a bucket is filled—typically after several sampling increments—it is lowered, and the turntable rotates to position the next empty bucket for filling. This automated rotation system ensures continuous operation with minimal manual intervention.

Filled buckets can be manually removed through a secure access door or automatically collected by Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for transport to the laboratory. For enhanced safety, the access door is equipped with a safety interlock switch that deactivates the turntable during bucket removal, ensuring safe and compliant sample handling.
