Appointment:

The grain sampling system (automatic sampler) from car bodies is intended for the remote selection of point samples of grain from the car body and their delivery to the laboratory to determine the quality indicators of the grain upon its acceptance. It is used at elevators and grain receiving points.

Features:

• Sampling of grain agricultural crops (corn, wheat, rye, barley, oats, rapeseed, sorghum, peas, soybeans, sunflower seeds, granular form of feed and raw materials) from cars and road trains;
• Delivery of the selected grain sample to the laboratory and division into two equal parts;
• Returning excess grain from samples back to the car body or hopper.

Sampling of the following crops is ensured:

Typical composition:

• Grain sampler PG-2.10.180 (or PG-2.10.350);
• Pneumatic transport system VA-1200-220-38;
• Laboratory cabinet SL-2M;
• Receiving bunker BP-3M-01;
• Control panel;
• Radio control set;
• Video monitoring set.

Advantages

• Allows guaranteed sampling from the entire thickness of the grain embankment - up to 3.0 m due to the rotating probe tip;
• Does not require moving a car or truck during sampling;
• Provides the opportunity to take samples from cars in two traffic streams due to the large angle of rotation and the length of the levers;
• Can be used in places with limited space together with car scales - allows one operator to work with two devices;
• Provides the opportunity to take and return samples at a distance of up to 30 m from the laboratory;
• It is possible to raise the probe in manual mode in the event of a sudden power outage.

Characteristics

Factors of economic efficiency

• A significant increase in the throughput capacity of the enterprise when receiving grain;
• Exclusion of the influence of the human factor during sampling;
• Exclusion of labor costs for visa holders;
• Minimal maintenance;
• Average energy consumption - up to 2.8 kW/hour (at the level of the best European analogues).

Reliability

• The probe is made of stainless steel with a quick-change tip in the form of a rotating drill;
• The levers and the control cabinet are covered with powder enamel resistant to atmospheric effects;
• Reliable imported hydraulic equipment of tiled design is used;
• The axes of rotation of the levers do not require maintenance;
• The flexible air line has smooth inner walls and an antistatic spiral, made of durable polyurethane, designed for the transportation of all grain crops.

Complex software

Provides an opportunity to perform sampling in both manual and automatic modes. In both modes, the software synchronizes the operation of samplers and traffic lights and blocks the possibility of emergency situations.

In manual mode, the operator selects the sampling points based on the image from the video cameras. At the Start command, the Complex selects a sampler and takes samples along the fastest and most optimal route.

In automatic mode, the operator selects the contours of the body based on the image from the video cameras, the Complex automatically places the selection points. If necessary, the operator can move the points. The complex automatically selects a sampler and takes samples along the most optimal route.

Traffic lights are managed by the operator. At the same time, the Complex blocks their incorrect activation and the movement of cars during the operation of the samplers.
