Tank and silo sampler SiloDrill AISI 304

The SiloDrill is a specialised sampler for taking samples of bulk materials from silos or tanks.

When bulk materials are transported over long distances, the vibration and movement involved can cause the material layers to segregate, making it difficult to take a representative sample.

The SiloDrill takes samples from all layers of bulk material, enabling the quality, composition and other relevant properties of the entire stored material to be analysed.

With a diameter of just 90 mm, the SiloDrill can fit through very small openings. A special mechanism makes opening and closing the sampling chamber easy by simply turning the robust T-handle. The spring-loaded inner tube minimises the risk of coarse grains jamming the mechanism. The drilling paddles and scraping edge also enable the sampling of caked and non-flowing bulk materials.

This silo sampler is made from 304 (1.4301) stainless steel, which offers excellent chemical resistance and is resistant to a wide range of chemicals and cleaning agents.

Its smooth stainless steel surface facilitates hygiene, cleaning and disinfection. Stainless steel is also corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for use in humid or aggressive environments, such as those found in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

The sampler is extremely robust, even with intensive use or abrasive particles.
