Inadco - Continuous Process Biomass Sampler
The INADCO Sampler is designed for industries requiring reliable and representative sampling from a continuous process, especially with challenging materials like biomass and waste wood. Ensuring consistency, it uses a flat rotating plate to collect samples every 5 seconds from a vertical product flow, depositing them into a weighing cylinder. Users can choose from four parameter sets to define the total sample weight and collection interval. Once the accumulated sample weight meets or exceeds the set target, the cylinder releases the sample into a drum, ensuring uninterrupted processing. This mechanism guarantees uniform sampling, critical for accurate laboratory analysis and quality control, making it ideal for applications in environmental, energy, and agricultural sectors.
For taking a reliable and representative sample it is important that the collecting of the sample is done the same way everytime with the correct interval and enough product. The solution was found in a derivative of the well known INADCO Densimeter where every 5 sec with a flat rotating plate a sample is taken from a vertical product flow and collected in a weighing measuring cylinder.
With the choice of 4 parameter sets the user is able to set the total required weight of the sample and the interval time for collecting the product during production. With every strike of the rotating plate it collects a small amount of product and drops this in the cylinder. When the weight of the collected product in the cylinder is equal to or higher than the selected sample weight the cylinder opens the bottom so that the collected sample slides on a chute into the drum beneath the sampler. After this the Sampler restarts with collecting on the product.
