When it comes to securing the production process and evaluating the quality of the final product, representative samples of the bulk material must be taken. Sampler from Zeppelin Systems provide safe sampling of flowable powdered or granular bulk materials from silos, containers, downpipes, or pneumatic conveying systems. The sample can be taken under normal atmospheric conditions or in a pressure range up to 1 bar(g).

Zeppelin Systems offers two differently operating samplers that differ in how the sample is taken: either the bulk materials are extracted discontinuously/batch-wise from a container or downpipe, or the sampling is continuous. Both samplers are available in different sizes and can also be used at higher temperatures and pressures.

Your Main Advantages at a Glance

• High Purity: All surfaces that come into contact with the bulk material are made of stainless steel
• Flexible Installation Position: The sample can be taken from a stationary or moving column of bulk material. With the GC type sampler, a sample can even be taken from a pneumatic conveying system in a pipeline.
• Long Service Life, Extended Maintenance Intervals, and Low Repair Costs: Unique and durable sealing systems ensure a long operational lifespan.
• Standardized products with a short delivery time.

The samplers can also be used in other industries besides those listed below. Please feel free to contact us to discuss whether our samplers can be used for your application – We Create Solutions!

Plastics

Zeppelin Systems samplers can be used to collect a wide range of plastic powders and granulates, making the samples available for further evaluation and analysis. These are usually polyolefins, compounds, and technical plastics. Either the free-flowing bulk material is filled into sample containers (GC, MPN) in portions after the samplers, or the bulk material is pneumatically conveyed over a longer distance in a conveyor line to a receiving container (e.g., laboratory) by the conveyor pressure (GC).

Chemicals

In this industry, the handling of powders predominates, often including abrasive bulk materials that can range from easy to difficult to flow. Our samplers are also suitable for free-flowing, powdery bulk materials and granulates.

Rubbers & Tires

The raw materials used in tire production are usually carbon black and silica, with other additives as required. The MPN sampler is often used for beaded tire carbon black or compacted silica, as it allows the increase in fine particles (powder content) to be determined at various positions throughout the entire processing process.
