The sampler QuickPicker - made of stainless steel or transparent PP plastic - collects samples quickly and channels them directly into the sampling bottle The QuickPicker sampler is particularly suitable in the event bulk goods are taken directly from sacks or bags and are to be filled into the original sample bottle without detours. QuickPicker is uncomplicated to use and optionally available in stainless steel V4A (1.4404) or PP transparent (for aggressive chemicals). Due to the extremely high-quality workmanship - the QuickPicker has no undercuts or edges - no residues of the medium remain in the collection lance that could falsify subsequent sampling. Cleaning is very easy thanks to this quality feature and the removable tip. The insertion depth is 30 cm, the diameter is 25 mm. Quick-Picker complies with the ISTA standard for seed length 10 mm (wheat, oats) and 5 mm (flax, vetch). The scope of delivery of the QuickPicker includes two sample bottles and a cleaning brush, further accessories are offered.

Quality assurance starts with the inspection of incoming goods. An all-layer sample of bulk goods is no longer a problem with PowderProof®, the sampler for powders and granules. PowderProof® is the practically proven professional solution for mobile sampling of powders and granules. Different lances and augers can be attached to the robust drive unit and swapped without any problems. This modular design makes PowderProof® a versatile instrument for sampling powders and granules from drums, barrels, bags or sacks. The piercing lance is pierced into the bag/container while the screw drive is running. The powder or granulate is immediately conveyed through the lance and filled directly into a sample bag or bottle at the lance outlet. Excess powder in the lance is returned to the container by counterclockwise rotation. Safe and reliable sampling is made even easier with useful accessories such as basket-enclosed bottles, sample bags and close-it control seals. The PowderProof® sampler with lance is suitable both for horizontal use, for example for taking samples from bags, and for vertical use for taking samples from open containers…

Practical and hygienic filling aid for powders and granules - for all areas where special cleanliness is required The new Bürkle disposable powder funnel has a short and wide discharge. It is particularly well suitable for transferring powdered samples and materials. The wide opening of the disposable powder funnel prevents the powder or granulates from clogging while dispensing. The practical and hygienic filling aid is a helpful accessory for laboratories, in the clean room and for sampling. It can be used in the pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetics industries, as well as in the food and feed industries, and in all areas where special cleanliness is required. The funnel is produced in a clean room, individually packaged for disposable use and is optionally available sterilized. For use in the food sector, the disposable liquid funnel made of polystyrene is also available in blue and as a detectable version. In addition, the funnel is offered in white bio-polyethylene. In combination with a filter paper, the disposable funnel is also very suitable for filtering.

For sampling according to FDA guidelines for unit-dose sampling. Multiple individual dose samples can be taken from one or more sampling points in a single sampling. With the Novartos pharmaceutical samplers, multiple individual dose samples (unit dose samples) can be taken from one or more sampling points in a single sampling. Thanks to the intelligent design of these pharmaceutical samplers, the lance does not have to be inserted into the sampling material several times. This largely prevents mixing. This is an important criterion, especially when sampling very small quantities in the pharmaceutical industry. Novartos samplers can be used to take a large number of samples quickly and easily, including from the same point, thus allowing for representative reserve samples. Types of Novartos samplers * Novartos Multi double sampling. A double multi-point sample can be taken from multiple predefined sample zones. Depending on the length, four, seven or nine sample chambers are each fitted with two sample inserts for the double sampling. * Novartos Multi triple sampling. A triple multi-point sample can be taken from multiple…

Bürkle’s new Core Sampler has been specially developed for powders and granulates which easily jam or consolidate during sampling The new sampler from Bürkle has been specially developed for powders and granulates which, due to their particle shape, easily jam or get stuck during sampling. In comparison to standard all-layer samplers for bulk materials, the two-part core sampler has no gaps in which the bulk solid can get stuck while it is being removed. This makes it possible to take a proper sample of powders and granulates through multiple layers, for example metal powder, abrasive media, salt, sugar, semolina, corn spindle granulate, etc. The core sampler is made of V4A stainless steel and is available in three sizes. This means it can be used for a wide range of different containers, for example BigBags or small containers. Due to the high-quality material and the careful processing, it is also ideal for use in various laboratory and industrial applications.

Sampling and transport in one device The new Bürkle DispoDipper is a sampling tube manufactured in a clean room specially designed for disposable use. Due to the blue colour, it is also perfect for use in the food, animal feed and pharmaceutical industries.

The closed handle design ensures secure handling and prevents the dipper slipping out of your hand. DispoDipper is completely manufactured in one piece and can be used for sampling and subsequent transport of the sample in one device. In this way, cross-contamination or sample impurities are almost impossible. For sampling, first detach the cover at the predetermined breaking point from the handle. Afterwards extract the sample using the…

Blue, detectable and sterilised The blue coloured disposable samplers from Bürkle are clearly visible. These scoops, spatulas, spoons and scrapers are blue – a colour that does not occur in a natural form in foodstuffs. This shade of blue can be quickly found and easily identified in a visual check, if these samplers or parts of them are ever mixed into production. These disposable samplers help to meet the requirements in the food, animal feed and pharmaceutical industries and can be used as part of HACCP/IFS foreign object management. The products are produced, assembled and packaged according to clean room class 7, individually packaged and then sterilised by gamma rays. The samplers comply with EU food requirements and FDA regulations. To ensure that nothing gets lost or is overlooked, Bürkle offers these products also in a detectable version. These samplers are also made of polystyrene but also have a special additive in the material that makes them visible to metal detectors or X-rays.…

For different kinds of goods and applications Depending on the field of application and the properties of the materials, the requirements of samplers for bulk goods are varying. Bürkle is specialized in this field and offers a great range of samplers, especially for pharma and food sampling. Zone samplers are used for taking samples of bulk goods of any kinds, from the finest powder to large grains such as corn or nuts. For this, the sampler is plunged directly into the good or the container (bag, box, big-bag, etc.) and the sample is taken by opening and closing the chambers. It is differentiated between multi samplers for multi point sampling from several predetermined sampling depths, and all-layer samplers for samples through all the layers of the sample. These models are also available as Jumbo samplers with extra large sample chambers. If only a point sampling is needed, this can be taken with a sample lance or a core sampler. Taking samples from sacs or boxes produces holes. These can be closed with…

zone collector specifically designed for heavily compacted substances The all-layer drill is a special zone collector specifically designed for heavily compacted substances. Often it is very difficult or impossible with conventional zone collectors to penetrate media of this type and take a sample extending through all layers. By contrast, the drilling blades of the all-layer drill burrow easily and quickly to the required depth without expending any great force. This makes it easy to take samples of media, even those with high density, and every type of highly compacted powders and granulates. The all-layer drill thus allows you to take a representative sample through all the layers, even with greatly compressed media. It is ideal for larger containers, mixed containers, big bags, etc. in the building materials, chemical, pharmaceutical, food and luxury items industries.
