Sampling
Systems
Belt Sampler
The belt sampler is used for taking samples from conveyor belts. A swivel arm is swung into the product flow, extracts a defined sample quantity, and transfers it into the sample container at the end position. After sampling, the swivel arm returns to its parked position outside the product flow. The drive is electric or pneumatic, depending on the process requirements.
Piston Sampler
The piston sampling unit enables targeted sampling of bulk materials from silos, containers, chutes, drop pipes, and conveyor lines. It can operate either intermittently—by extending and retracting the piston for single sample collection—or continuously, where the piston induces a steady product flow. The drive can be manual, electric, or pneumatic. The DN50 size reliably covers common applications. Optional features such as a weld-on end or position feedback expand the range of applications and facilitate integration into automated processes.
Rotary Piston Sampler
The rotary piston sampler enables the extraction of samples from silos, containers, chutes, drop pipes, and conveyor lines. A piston with rotary drive opens the sampling port, allowing sampling to be performed continuously or intermittently. The drive can be manual, electric, or pneumatic, depending on the specific process requirements. The DN100 size ensures reliable sampling even with larger product volumes.
Sample Collector / Sample Magazine
The sample collector enables automatic collection of individual samples in a carousel or linear magazine with up to 48 sample containers. Samples are filled directly into containers, bottles, or bags and can then be easily transported to the laboratory. The drive can be manual, electric, or pneumatic, allowing the system to be customized to specific process requirements.
Screw Sampler
The RATEC screw samplers enable controlled sampling of bulk materials from silos, containers, and drop pipes. The product is conveyed directly into a sample container via a screw conveyor—driven manually, electrically, or pneumatically. Available in sizes DN35, DN50, and DN80, they can be flexibly adapted to various requirements. Options such as different housing designs, drives, and sample containers make them a versatile solution for process-accompanying, representative sampling.
Special Samplers & Sample Transport Systems
Special samplers provide a tailored solution for sampling from nearly all types of bulk materials. They can be individually adapted to the specific requirements of the material. Sample transport systems, such as pneumatic tube systems or systems with pneumatic conveying, ensure safe and efficient transport of samples from the sampling point to the laboratory or analysis area
Swivel Sampler
The swivel sampler enables precise sampling of product from drop pipes. A swivel arm moves into the product flow, takes a defined sample quantity, and diverts it outward. After sampling, the swivel arm returns to its parked position outside the product flow. The drive can be manual, electric, or pneumatic, allowing flexible adaptation to the specific process requirements
