About Conventional Cross Belt Sampler
The REE Conventional Cross Stream Sampler is custom designed to be an integral part of the main conveyor head chute which meets the client-specific requirements. The Cross Stream sampler is typically installed in new applications where large primary sample increments are required or space limitations exist prohibiting the installation of a Rotary Sweep Sampler along the conveyor. The REE Cross Stream Sampler is available with an electromechanical drive mechanism.
Advanced Sampling PrecisionUtilizing a linear sweep across the conveyor, the sampler ensures unbiased, representative collection of bulk materials. The robust design accommodates adjustable sample sizes and programmable frequencies, adapting easily to varying process requirements. Enhanced by a gear motor drive and PLC controls, accuracy and consistency are maximized.
Flexible Installation and MaintenanceWith an adaptable frame made from corrosion-resistant mild or stainless steel, this sampler can be mounted on existing conveyor systems without the need for extensive modifications. Easy access points and a removable stainless steel tray simplify routine cleaning and maintenance, ensuring reliable long-term operation.
Operator Safety and ComplianceSafety interlocks are integrated to protect operators during use, and the equipment complies with international standards ISO-13909 and ASTM. Its rugged construction and industrial-grade finish make it suitable for demanding environments while maintaining safety and sampling integrity.
FAQ's of Conventional Cross Belt Sampler:
Q: How does the Conventional Cross Belt Sampler operate?
A: The sampler uses a rubber belt and gear motor-driven linear sweep mechanism to automatically or semi-automatically collect samples across the entire width of a moving conveyor belt, ensuring an accurate representation of the bulk material.
Q: What materials can be used for constructing the sampler's frame and sampling tray?
A: The main frame is typically constructed from mild steel (MS) with a powder-coated or painted finish for corrosion resistance, while the sampling tray is removable and made from stainless steel. An all-stainless steel construction is available as an optional upgrade.
Q: When should this kind of sampler be used?
A: This sampler is ideal for continuous bulk material handling operations where consistent, representative sampling from a moving conveyor belt is required, such as in mining, power plants, cement, and other heavy industries.
Q: Where is the sampler typically installed, and is it easy to retrofit?
A: The sampler is mounted directly onto existing conveyor belts. Its customizable length and modular design facilitate straightforward integration with most industrial conveyors, requiring minimal alterations to current setups.
Q: What is the process for collecting and handling samples with this equipment?
A: Samples are swept from the conveyor belt into the removable stainless steel tray, which can then be accessed and emptied easily for laboratory analysis or process control, maintaining sample integrity throughout the process.
Q: How is the sample size and frequency adjusted?
A: Sample size and collection frequency can be precisely programmed and controlled via the PLC system, allowing customization to meet specific process or quality control requirements.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this cross belt sampler?
A: Key benefits include precise and unbiased sample collection, reduced labor through automation, enhanced operator safety, compliance with international standards, low maintenance requirements, and ease of integration with existing conveyor systems.
