In-Line Powder Sampling in Food and Pharma Industries

Food and pharmaceutical companies take in-line powder samples from the production line for several key reasons. For instance, after the powder has been milled, samples are often collected for particle size analysis to ensure the powder blend is of the correct size before it proceeds to the next stage of processing. Another common sampling point is at the end of the line, just before the packing head. This final sampling opportunity allows for testing the product before it leaves the production line, ensuring the highest quality and consistency before packaging.

1. Unobstructed Sampling

The full bore of the pipe is available for powder flow when the FreeGlide is not in use.

2. Convenient Sampling

The 316L stainless steel sampling cup is extended into the downpipe and collects a sample of free-flowing powder.

3. Patented Diaphragm

The diaphragm extends and retracts, preventing contamination and jamming, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.

 

4. Easy Discharging

The sampling cup is retracted and inverted, allowing the powder to fall down the discharge chute for easy collection.
